All good points.... An agreed on (lack of) testing... My old SC's clutch lasted over 150K miles with many track days. Even if a 996/997 clutch wore faster due to more power (I sold mine before 60K miles so I never got near), seems to me even the replacement bearing would need servicing more often than my clutch !!! Sucks... I guess the "no-intermediate shaft-at all" solution is simpler ;-)
That's why I'm looking at xx7.2 models. Actually the new turbo Boxster is so pretty I cannot wait to see the new Cayman !!
