Or alternatively, just connect a reader to the temperature sensors via ECU CAN bus during a punishing day at Sebring..and then compare to the GT3. One of these engines has clearly not been engineered for track duty. And its not just the engine, its also the transmission, brakes, possibly power steering pump...
Porsche doesn't equip car in a way where 90+% of its street drivers will never use it.
That's just an unnecessary vaporizing of ready made profits.
