I have to say that this is a pretty sad state of affairs. Folks here are (rightfully) contemplating a major repair to PREVENT a known engineering flaw in their engines.
Meanwhile, at most any Corvette forum, guys are spending similar amounts to add a 105 HP supercharger to their LS1 and LS2 engines.
If I were a Porsche engineer reading this, I would likely weep in my Spattan.
