When we first started seeing problems in 03 (only on the S's) it was 911 drivers driving their first mid engine car. I'd watch their in car video's and laugh my ass off at them "sawing at the wheel" like they are taught by every 911 instructor out there. This technique is not only causing more heat, it is slower.. in a mid engine car..
I'd stand on pit wall and watch people SAW the wheel down the straight away. I once stood at an AutoX and had people ask me "why is the nose of his car moving back and forth on that straight away"? (He was sawing the wheel)
So, take a LONG hard look at your driving/hands on the wheel in your own video's BEFORE you decide you need to make a change to the car.
Something else to do that is cheap? Disconnect the wire that controls the passenger side fan and put a switch on it! The computer controls the ground side of the relay (which is in the trunk) so interrupt the ground with a regular toggle switch and switch the fan on every time you head out onto the track or AutoX. Porsche only turns the fan on to evacuate the engine compartment on cold start, and when the temps rise to a certain level (I forget that temp)
or.. or.. remove that fan altogether and anything in the duct work that could impede airflow into the engine compartment from outside.
