More internet trash...I'd like to see the statistics that back up the 20% failure rate.

I have been a PCA instructor for close to fifteen years, have driven more track events than I will ever remember and can recall only one IMS failure throughout that period (he was running Mobil 1 0W40 which was a major mistake for a track vehicle). One other gent in my region had his '99 fail due to D-chunk...non-IMS related.

This garbage does more harm than good to potential buyers and lessens the collective value of the model.

...and from someone with 1 post.
