Lots of so called "normal cars" have had issues with oil cooking leading to engine failure. BMWs destroy fuel pumps, destroy rear subframes, and lunch their VANOS. But let's look at Porsches. What about chain tensioner failures leading to Carrera oil fed tensioners? Cracked or pulled head studs? Valve guides that might last 100k? There are a LOT of potential gotchas in Porsche history. Frankly this is one of the lower incidence rates, good luck getting very far past 100k without a pricey top-end on an air-cooled 911. These aren't Toyotas and never have been.
