WTF should I buy (A consolidated list of bad decisions)

[D_Eclipse9916]

IMS bearing problem isn't really a big deal for Caymans, it was more of a problem for the 996 911's (non-turbo).  What 987.1 Caymans did suffer from is oil starvation issues when cornering load, which is why some people who tracked them or raced them had issues.

I thought the power on my Cayman S was fine.  It doesn't have the grunt of a V8 but it's a light and nimble car with a glorious flat-6 and excellent feel.  The 2009+ is clearly better and doesn't have any oiling issues, so I would get one of those if they fit in budget.

Bodymotion makes a nice billet aluminum oil pan that I am sure costs $5k or something stupid
