They can be great motors. I’ve been tracking mine for 7 years, it has well over 100,000 miles and has been dead reliable. In fact in my track group it’s the only motor that hasn’t blown (others with M3s, mustangs, etc have blown theirs). Now what does piss me off is that it only makes 200hp! The good news is the cost of replacement motors has come down for us 986 guys. I can’t imagine having the same risk as the 997 guys have.

What motor do you have?
