Tracking the car wasn't wise. Oh well, I guess it worked to get 5 minutes of fame.

No baffle plate and low weight oil --

My Boxster S has 108K miles with the last 8K hard core tracking and runs great -- but I've got a deep sump, baffle plate and only run 20w/50 racing synthetic oil.

He got it right when he said he was "an idiot".

The engine suddenly makes bad noises (after hanging a LONG high-G turn at high speed) and your CEL comes on and YOU KEEP DRIVING? Seriously?

Then you take it out to shoot more video of the bad noises it's making?

Idiot. Idiot. Your fans are calling...

It really upsets me to see a car (any car) abused like that...

Porsche does not recommend tracking cars with M96 engines. They cannot withstand more than 0.8 - 0.9 g without possible oil starvation.

Yes, the owner was an "idiot". Tracking that car, in stock configuration, at that mileage was complete lunacy.

So he got his "story" and his "15 minutes", but now he's stuck with a 250K mile roller.

Just sayin'............

to me, killing a car with that had logged so many miles is just plain wrong, that poor car earned it's place as an example of what these beautiful cars are capable of with the proper care and maintenance... sad indeed
