Beautiful car, congrats and welcome to the forum! My understanding is that you would be subject to the same chances of failure. I have not seen anything as to a different bearing being used, in fact engines built after 2004 are still subject to failure. I believe it is 2009 when you no longer have to worry. Driving the car like it is meant to be driven along with oil changes every 5000 miles or at least once per year will go a long way towards keeping your bearing healthy. But then there are no guarantees in life. Me personally, I would not worry about it until it is clutch time. That is my plan and my car currently has 74K miles on it. I also send an oil sample off to Blackstone Labs for piece of mind, check my filter for shavings and have a magnetic drain plug. The LN spin on oil filter adapter is next on my list with my next oil change. So far, so good!
