Ive replaced stuff on those cars when they were out of warranty. Apparently Porsche feels bad for you if your ---- breaks lol.
Yes. They do bend over and take it for you. But they broke it off in you to begin with so it works out.
2007 997 CS-S
AWE headers , mufflers and cat bypass
Fabspeed air intake
GIAC reflash
GT3 coilovers
They said the input shaft that drives the oil pump (off the cams) jumped a cog..
my dad has hated the car (sort of) ever since..scared to drive it hard , doesn't let me drive it at all anymore... Thinking about dumping it for a ZR-1
by contrast his 94 RS America with 80,000 miles gets beat on , raped, abused and never misses a tick. Needed a clutch and flywheel once, valves need to be adjusted..thats it.
POS 997...but they stand behind it.
Disclaimer for haters: He has money ,I am broke as ---- , eat mac and cheese and most of my "performance parts" come from the wrecking yard.

w/o the launch control its extremely slow piece of ---- instead of just a piece of ----.
if you use the launch control once. it voids the warranty. they hyped the launch control, and the launch control is what makes it decently quick

Re: 20k GTR trans fix!!!
VDC is a generic industry term...
I know on Subaru's and GM's it basically ties in the ABS system to the traction control. If the car sees one wheel moving faster then the others , it kills engine power (hence limits wheel spin)
on the GTR it also uses YAW sensors and all that kinda bullshit to calculate maximum lateral acceleration and adhesion.
We had a guy come out to an autocross with a GTR a few weeks back , he was running R compound tires and expected to kick some ***.. he didn't....
The computer didn't know what the ---- to do with the additional grip , so it kept cutting power.... even with the VDC off.
the car is neat , but just over complicated.. GM builds a knuckle dragger with leaf springs thats just as fast and costs far less to manufacture...

Ive driven an F430 and it was pretty sweet in its own little N/A way, but def not worth the money when a Z06 with a 50 shot or a 997 turbo with a chip would smoke it.

The aircooled 964 block was the best/strongest ever built. There's a reason the GT2/GT3/Turbo still use it.

Re: 20k GTR trans fix!!!
Ferrari's are utter CRAP ....
Im sorry , great to look at , nice sounds.... but horrible maintenance wise and need to be rebuilt far too often
there is a reason u see 20 yr old ferrari's with 10,000 miles on them
Ferrari should use D series with Holsets...
