Glad they decided to go with chains, one less thing to worry about/replace. I know one thing about timing belts - they are inherently bad. Everyone I know that has an import car that utilizes timing belts, has spent a lot of money to replace it. I have heard plenty of horror stories about timing belts snapping, but don't think I've every heard of any timing chains flying off. Thank goodness Porsche took the sensible route. I heard the timing belt replacement on Ferraris is part of their normal maintenance at every 15K or 30K and costs around $5K to $7K. Ouch.
