Car giving you any maintenance fun? Cracking rotors? Burning off rear tires?

Watching the Rolex race yesterday and that Porsche commercial comes on and the wife says "the cars looked great then, and they still look great!"

Only issues I've had were regarding the previous owner and things he did incorrectly. I had a turbo hose failure (should have upgraded them when he increased the power output by 24% at the wheels) at Watkins Glen that caused a CEL (I have since fixes with all new hoses) and the pads he used and the manor in which he bed them in caused a LOT of problems with the brake system. I've since replaced the front rotors, pads at all corners, installed brake ducts, and run RBF600 fluid. I've had no issues since, and tire wear has been very good on street and track tires! This is the fastest and funnest car I've ever owned, hands down.

That's a clean lap at the event at the beginning of the first session, third day. That caution flag thru me, but then I realized I'd caught the last person in my group, on a standing yellow first lap/ first session day.
