Wow it took me a really long time to write my response and after I posted it I realized that st-anger had already made some comments ops: . That is a sure sign that life is getting a little too busy.
…definitely, a customer can´t expect that his 650hp tuned engine will last as long as the 420hp one
St-anger so does this apply to the CGT engine as well. Also, I am curious if you know what is the expect life of a 996 or 997 engine before requiring a rebuild, naturally aspirated and turbocharged if you know that info and it isn’t top secret. I know that manufacturing processes and QC have improved dramatically especially relative to Porsche compared to the late 80’s. So I am guessing that all that filters down to increased life expectance despite the near 100% increase in horsepower .
