One of our customers was driving his 05 C2S in traffic one afternoon and his intermediate shaft broke.

Ok..
You are also pointing out others problems on the bulletin board as if it were fact that the Porsche is more reliable. It would be fine if you just pointed out YOUR experience. You are like the evening news reporting about needles in candy at Halloween and how your kid is in danger.
OK. How about this.
In MY experience, MY 997 C2S has been more reliable than MY C6.
That work for ya????

And...
How was the customer treated, and what did Porsche do to rectify the problem?

If the dealer can prove or has a concern about track use, Porsche can and will try to find out whether the car has been used in a timed/competitive (more than one person on a course/track at once) event. If so, consider your drivetrain warranty void. The easiest solution is known widely to people of all makes and models. Simply cover or take off your plates, and stick a piece of paper over the VIN on your dash.
We had a Carrera GT in that got stuck in two gears at 160mph on a track. Luckily, the driver noticed something wasn't right and didn't let the clutch out. Porsche paid for the remanufactured tranny, but made the customer pay for the labor.

That is a complicated story, but i have my money and they have their car 
FWIW, It was not an easy choice like i though it would be. I though I would either love the 997 Turbo and not want the Z06 or would love the Z06 and not the 997 Turbo. It was close. I finally decided the Porsche is what I want later (looking to the 998T) and the Z06 gave me the seat of the pants feeling I like (for now).
lol, what do i say to that
I agree with what you said other then the cargo space is advantage Z06. Yes, you get more for more 75K vs 133K. But when you compare 997 or 997s the Price is comparable and the performance gap is very wide compared to a Z06. That is what flipped me from a 997s to a Z06. If I had a 997tt would I switch to a Z06...I would think alittle longer on that one. But a 997s or 997 I had no trouble pulling the trigger.
