I'm running between GT3 and GT3RS at the moment on my C2 and all has been well... although, I have seen some extreme speed bumps in parking lots that I think would even hit my C2 at original spec... heck they scare me in my Touareg!

Sorry about your misfortune.
I had my car low on Coilovers for one day and realized I couldn't get out of the driveway, let alone get the jack off the oil pan after I lowered it down.
Now I have it slightly higher than the factory GT3 settings.
Good thing you noticed it right away and that you weren't at high revs.

You can still get them. just make sure its about the same length as the oem plug which sit flush to the pan..mine was a little over a 1/4inch longer...which ends up hitting the bumps 1st.

yes it is..
I didn't noticed it till someone behind me told me that my rear was leaking & smoking.. that's like 30sec after I hit the bumps..still got oil until I parked it.

HOLY CRAP DUDE!!!!
Wowww that's almost painfull to look at.
It's one thing for that sexy beast of your's to get excited but this is ridiculous..
, all kidding aside I'm sorry to see that happen to ya!
Did the plug break off or did the whole plate crack?

Excitement would be an intermix scenario where coolant and oil produce a white milky substance.

That said, last year I drove a jet car and when I pulled the chutes at 280 mphr I'm pretty sure I left a big brown trail that looked like the one in Mk2C's pics...
Sometimes the lines between excited and scarred sh#tless can be a fine line!

"The X51 oil pan helps keep your oil near the pump during hard turns. As the oil moves from one side to the other, the baffles will close keeping the oil where it is supposed to be. This can prevent significant engine damage from a lack of oil, oil starvation is still possible, but the risk is reduced significantly. ""This product is great for track usage!"
lets see..X51 pan, oil change, & also replace inner cv boots..total cost $1168....

got this info from Suncoast:

That's one expensive bump dude... but cheaper than the silicone bumps I got for an ex girlfriend
$1168 to get your car back on the road
... the joy of driving it ... PRICELESS!
