I owned a coupe version of this.
Great car, but couldn't get over the prospect of potential cylinder scoring. Mine was burning a lot of oil, which was hard to gauge due to the electronic dipstick.

Look for sooting on left? tailpipe?

Mine was burning oil pretty bad. It also had higher miles. Sold it. Got the SC, and never been happier. I'll take broken head studs all day over that crap.

This car also has the "improved" larger diameter IMS bearing. Less failures due to larger size, but so large, you can't just change it out as a wear item like in earlier IMS cars. You have to split the case to change it.

I didn't want to own the goose that was about to lay an 18k egg.
