Hats off to him! I have just about 27K miles and 5 years of 1000rwhp+ on my engine with it being at the 8000RPM redline more than idle with no issues.. It has a stock crank and stock turbo pistons/rings.. so yes, it is a reliable supercar in my opinion!
Here is a brief history video with a 19psi engine dyno and a 28psi wheel dyno:

Wow, that is impressive. I saw an '07 benz with 120k miles, it is amazing how much people drive.

Yea I had that happen once to my 996tt, sucked and for such a small/cheap fix!
But, my gt2(same motor) much more modified/driven harder and tons of track time and almost 3 years not 1 issue besides a shifter cable!
I guess all we can do is hope for the best of luck with our cars, one car can be beat to deah another a low mileage gem, and the low mile car can be the problematic one you just never know!02 RUF R-GT2 590++ (Track Beast)

This 230K TT should be in the Porsche Museum in Germany when he's done with it!!!!! Keep it going buddy!!!! I'm thinking of picking up a 6TT and just turning the C4S in to a DD!
VR - all of your cars/projects are insane man.....still remember that clip on SuperCars Exposed with Tanner Foust where you "Owned" that modded 997 on the last straight. True definition of a sleeper man!!!

the latest dilemna was crappy coolant hoses popping off due to old age - two $400 tow truck trips and $XXX to replace them.
