I totally disagree with Blue2000S's initial statement of;

"I really believe in buyer beware and don't buy something that you can't afford.(WTF does that mean? If I can't afford to replace my $15K engine in 30K miles means I can't afford it? Point is, I shouldn't have to replace it.) I'm happy to know that if something goes wrong with my car, I have a Jake Raby rebuild/upgrade waiting for me. I'll happily pay the $17k for the power and reliability it affords."

Do you have so much money that you can afford to have a company ignore a known problem and pay for the fix yourself? I'm all for the class action, with the PCA and this forum we should be able pool all the evidence needed to prove the flaws in the engine design.
Just like RoadRacer311 says, if you bought the car after 2000, these were known issues and buyer beware. Right now, you know how much it costs to replace the engine so you know how much you need to be ready for the rainy day if it comes. If you're unwilling or unable to replace the engine or let the car sit with a dead engine, sell it.

The warranty on the car is the only length of time or mileage Porsche guarantees that the car will function, beyond that, you're on your own.

Capitalism folks, it's not without risks.
