Cajundaddy nailed it. The 986 models have the M96 engine, the 987.1 have the M97, and the 987.2 have the 9A1 that does not have an IMS. All fantastic cars. Use some common sense regarding the IMS, while it does fail (highest in the single row cars) it is still a very small number. M97 IMS failure is VERY rare.

Btw, the IMS retrofit website is from the guys that sell products based on your fear. Take it with a large grain of salt.
