That is absolutely my experience as well including my original and built motor which had a valvetrain failure at Sebring that wreaked havoc on the bottom end. The ratio of participation to issues comparing Porsche against Subaru is ugly for the Japanese manufacturer. Just my observation of course but it's based on maybe a hundred or so track days. When I get around to it I'm swapping in an LS but right now I'm starting something different with another underdog brand.
