That's not an endorsement to drive it 'hard', though it may not matter in the long run if you drive Hard or Soft.
It seems like not 'genading' your engine is a roll of the preverbial dice insomuch as the 'Morrocan' assemblymen were asleep at the switch ... or not.
The bottom line being that the 'myth' of Porsche 'reliability' is just that... myth!
My take is that if you own an M96 motor, it's much more a matter of 'when' rather than 'if''.

Very good observation and opinions..
But the trends point toward many more failures from cars driven easy or by Women than any others despie mileage on the engine.
We have logged every mode of failure with pics from every engine we have torn down and got reports from the drivers to create the stats and we'll continue to do this to create a very detailed understanding of what happens, when and how.
Track failures are few and far between.
