Heres the original thread describing the complaint:

Amazing.  If I were buying a $190,000 Porsche, I would also expect the braking system to at least be good enough to be somewhere in the ballpark of their claims about it.  It\'s amazing that an arbitrator ruled against him.  Check this out:

After returning from the Glen in August we took the car to Brandywine Porsche to get the rotors replaced – assuming that warranty or common sense would apply here – (having only 1700 miles on the vehicle from new) – but the service manager said that since I had taken it to the track it would not be covered. They then proposed that I get the 2 (not four) front rotors and pads replaced at a cost of $17,940.00 (and I have the quote).

That\'s life in Porsche land I guess.  Home of the $500 oil changes.  :)  In for a penny, in for a pound, I suppose.

What about this quote. Woooweee!

This is amazing I have a GT 2 that Porsche will only warranty if I drive within the limit. Meanwhile Dodge encourages me to use my viper on the track and has warrantied everything I have broke at the track. This is going to get real ugly when I try to get my deposit back on my 200 mph Carrera GT that they want me to drive under 65 MPH.

Dodge covers the Viper.....even on the track. Encourages you, even! Heh.....as long as it\'s not a Neon....that\'s so cool! :D
