I've found its really hard to find much if any info on the IMS issue with the 06 2.7, hopefully that's a good thing. Anyone have any info?

Thanks, I sent them an email. Again not a lot of info on the 06 2.7 though.

I believe it was in 06 that the bigger, more robust IMS was incorporated. So far, very very few claims of IMS issues (if any). We'll see if that continues as the mileage creeps up on those model years, but I think you are in good shape.
Would definitely recommend doing an oil change every 5000 miles no matter what the manual says.
Other than that, regular maintenance as any car would need and make sure to take her out for a good, strong drive now and then! These cars love to hit the twisties and have some fun.

Thanks for the info. Yes the 06 is the bigger IMS. From what I can find the 06 must be doing fairly well because there are not any complaints that I can find. But maybe I'm missing something also. Will most deff do the oil changes every 5,000 miles!
