Here at TheTruthAboutCars, we've occasionally been, shall we say, forthright concerning a certain manufacturer of SUVs, full-sized sedans, and sporting vehicles from Zuffenhausen. The thousand injuries of Porsche ownership we have borne as best we could, and so on. But if we are willing to castigate the firm every time they cut corners somewhere or screw over thousands of their customers without a second thought, we should also be willing to give credit where credit is due when they step up for their owners.
Which, to their credit, they are certainly doing in the case of the 991 GT3.
Our sister publication AutoGuide managed to confirm that connecting rod issues are at the root of recent 991 GT3 fires, and that Porsche will address those problems by replacing the engine in every GT3 sold so far, for a total of 785 new engines. This is exactly the sort of thing that should have happened with the M96 debacle and it's great to see the company come through for the owners like this. Of course, the whole problem would have been nonexistent had they kept using the engine from the old GT3… but that's a line of thinking that ends up with demanding the return to production of the 356 Pre-A.
Wait, that's a great idea!
