Similar to the RMS issue, having real data on failures would be very interesting and you can see why Porsche would not want this available.

In all fairness, I have not seen tons of engine failures and really, I have no comparative failure rates of other comp manufacturers. So, it is hard to form a firm conclusion on the matter w/o the data.

Having said that, the mere cost of Porsche replacement engine vs (say a chevy v8) is enough to give one the chills!
