Is a FI Z just not meant to be a reliable car as many owners have even made comments about having extra money set aside for the issues that come with having a FI Z.

I recently sold my 996tt that had about 500hp with some mods and after 5 years of ownership & hard driving

at times my only issue was replacing a dead battery.

I appreciate your response

Here is my take on it:
-People sell because they under invest and over expect what they should get.

Not all are like this, but going into the forced induction car on a N/A vehicle can be a big expense and many underestimate this amount. I have been boosted with a SC since 19k miles and just over 50k miles at the end of the year (and a time of about 2.5 years). I have yet to track my car (ring or 1/4 mile) but I do enjoy the fun street driving, plus the pain of daily driving the car. It is a blast to drive but it is not 100% perfect but I never expected it to be.
