    Anybody's 997 gone past 100k km yet?

    Recently our friend from CH proudly announced 300k km in his 996 turbo. This makes me curious how 997's rate in terms of reliability vs. 996's. Has anyone seen a 997 past the first 100k km yet?

    Issue 329 of Christophorus has an interesting article about a guy who has already driven his Carrera GT for 100k km. He even takes it for grocery shopping. Cool huh?

    Italian guy living in Milan - indeed the article says that he even uses the CGT as a shopping car in the city. Though -knowing the traffic in Milan - I'm not sure whether this is fun

    That's about 31,000 miles. I'm not far behind you at just under 25,000 miles (approx 40,000km).

    Car still great, getting faster by the mile.

    22K Miles on my 997S Cab. I'm a little annoyed that the dash is starting to rattle/squeek. Took it into the dealer and of course they did nothing. But that's typical for my dealer. When my 996 Cab dash rattled all I had to do to get it to stop was give it a good whack. That doesn't seem to be working this time.

    Any comments on increases in power from engine loosening up? I've already noticed an improvement in first 5k miles.
