A few already know this, 2 water pumps went under warranty (1@3k miles, the other @6k miles). One stranded me. Wasn't going to wait to get stranded again. They actually have to disconnect the exhaust at the turbos and lower the engine to get to it. You don't expect that type of junk from a $145k new car.

For me, no, not worth the extra $50k if comparing to a G80/G82. Traded it on the F90 M5C LCI and don't miss the 911 a bit. Don't think I'll ever return to a P-Car. I don't trust them.

I know there are a few P-Car fans on here, your experience might be different. That was mine.
That's really unfortunate. While I think your experience is not widespread, I totally empathize with people getting in their first P-cars and having the issues you had. Self proclaimed 911 lover, Nick Murray lemoned both his 991s. I own the same exact car and its been 20k miles of road trips and 10+ track days without a glitch.

I had been looking at 992s all winter and a decent spec one has become basically GTS/turbo money. The G80 felt like a deal especially new.
