As Paul Harvey used to say, and now you know the rest of the story...

If you receive Excellence Magazine, then you probably saw the story last month about the 996 with 243,000 miles (more miles than earth to the moon, hence, the Apollo 11 kitch) where the new owner proudly dyno tested the car and confirmed the 0-60 time.

Here is the original story: Apollo 911 - Excellence

Well, that engine didn't last much longer...
