Re: OFFICIAL: New 911 GT3 (991)

Christian, you need to stop with this Porsche speak. Replacing engines on a new car by a dealer is an unmitigated disaster for Porsche and a buyer like me. The car will not be the same despite all the assurances.
Also, this new engine hasn't gone through rigorous testing usually required by Porsche policies. Porsche is stuck and now they are taking shortcuts to correct a problem and appease the howling owners. Their only other alternative would have been to cancel the model which they would never do.
With the new untested engine, we will become Porsche's R&D . Sure Porsche will provide a better warranty but they do not know if this engine will perform to Porsche standards. Many of us could face long service times or in six months experience other failures.
Porsche brand has been tarnished and as a buyer my confidence in Porsche has taken a serious hit.
This is no Porsche "speak". I do not work for Porsche and they do not pay me. What I am saying is based on unofficial information I received, nothing more and nothing less. You either try to trust me or not, it is your choice.
I'm just trying to be fair here, especially since I know the internet. If you enjoy "bullying" Porsche, be my guest but I'm trying to find a more objective approach to this very unfortunate GT3 issue.
