I just called for a quote on a 3.8L X51 & Tranny and it's only $12k...I may just go that route....480hp on a Boxster? Now that's POWER!

John from Pepe Porsche just called and said there are still a crap load of salt stuck under the car from Bonneville, and there is something definitely broken inside. More updates to come....

I would give them a bunch of **** if they don't cover that under warranty. When I lived in Germany I owned an E46 M3 and there were at least a couple dozen times I would be humming along on the autobahn bouncing off the rev limiter in 6th gear for 5+ minutes at a time. No problems.

I just spoke to John from Pepe Porsche and they're putting in the engine as we speak! Porsche is covering it. I didn't expect an answer until Monday, but they totally blew all my expectations...He said it should be done by tomorrow! Talk about service, less than a week I got a new engine in my 987.
Now it's time to convience my significant other for the X51 Transplant....any good suggestions?

Thanks for coming out to the salt flats, RJ, and congrats on getting your motor covered.
For those interested, this was the kick-off event for the AKA Rally. The first batch of photos is up here:

How did you enjoy the rally? I was comtemplating on going this year but I have a wedding coming up next month. I think I am going to try to go next year. Looks like you guys had fun.
