meatman is infamous around these parts
One More Item On Track and/or Racing:

From the Porsche Warranty:

"Note: Components and/or parts that fail during racing or driving events (including Porche sponsored events) will not be covered by the
manufacturer new car limited warranty."

However, like someone said above, nobody with a TT would ever attempt such a stunt.

Thats a very rare turbo. A collectors dream. I think Wicked got a hold of it,
transformed it, and sold it on Ebay (be sure to read their policy carefully on deadbeat bidders and what happens to them).

Just as an FYI, Porsche has since lowered the oil change intervals to a recommended 10,000 miles, IMHO still on the high side, as others have said 5000 to 7,500 is still not a bad idea. I have seen on more than one Cayenne at about 16-17,000 miles the lifters start getting noisy. I always thought the 20,000 was too high.

If it's not specifically stated then it's obviously covered.

So maybe even if you raced or tracked your car, but then claimed that the Devil made you do it, the factory might be compelled to cover the damage.

Makes complete and logical sense to me.
