Oh crap. What should I do?

Just curious how this ended. Did you decide to have the motor rebuilt? Sorry that your trip to the track ended the way it did but I hope that does not turn you off of the boxster.

I'm going to have to buy a used motor and put it in myself. It looks like I will be going through OK Foreign or LA Dismantlers; haven't decided yet.

Oh yes. It has very much turned me off of the Boxster and Porsches in general. If I ever get another, it will most likely be an older one ('70s or '80s). However, there are so many awesome cars out there, that I doubt I'll ever own another Porsche. I can't believe that there are so many design flaws in these cars (and the 911s) that still haven't been addressed. For a car maker that is so racing focused to have cars that are not designed to drive on the track is a joke. I definitely would have been better off buying a used Corvette or Camaro rather than the Boxster. If I had, it wouldn't have suffered this kind of failure, or likely any other.
