I have seen NO 2.5 failures. Doesn't mean it won't/cant happen, but I have seen none and I have been involved with the cars since 1999, racing/time trial/autoX since late 04. The 2.5 doesn't turn the RPM that the 2.7/3.2/3.4 turn, it doesn't see the same heat etc.
I have pulled apart a LOT (20+) blown 2.5's, a couple had questionable bearings, but none of them had failed completely.
