I am not ready to lump the M97 into the same heap as the M96. I was a serious track rat for 7-8 years and I only know of 2 996's that lost their IMS. Both were off track between events. I never saw a Cayman lose the M97 IMS. And that was maybe the most popular car at the track by the time I quit.
Like Matt said, Jake is an alarmist, opportunist and great resource for these cars. If he thinks the M97 is OK, then I won't worry about my motor.
