Sadly, I'm not sure your #s are any more statistically significant than mine - they're somewhat bigger for sure (do you have rough % out of curiosity?)- but also not necessarily representative of the overall picture either - we don't know because Porsche isn't telling. From my frame of reference, it's a scary # as I don't know that many M97 owners personally, and I'm 2 for 4 ;-) (note I'm not implying that's the rate, obviously)

you wrote" 06+ cars have nothing to worry about" - later amended to "failure rate is next to nothing".... Respectfully, tell that to both my buddies: 06 cayman S (tracked) and 07 997S (never seen a track) who each paid $25000 or so to get a new engine installed, out of warranty (one admittedly went RUF instead, so might have been cheaper for the other who went via dealer).

I respect your better stat and mechanical talent (truly, not picking argument here), and I also agree with all that the IMS issue is probably overblown. But when it happens to you, it must suck big time... Even if it's 5%, it could be you and as you know, you can't LN-fix an 06+ engine, unless you split the case. That sucks too... I think the market sided that way too - I've been looking for a 997.2 and I can tell you they command a substantial premium.. Thanks for the reply !!!

Anytime. 09+ DFI cars are great and of your best interest. Good luck
