I also need consistent logic and facts - not blind faith in Porsche, which occasionally proves unfounded anyway.
Beyond the rare errors, they have been very secretive - we often don't know the real reason.
The idea that the core problem is oiling (per your note), yet Porsche's MY1998 changes affect the rear tub strength, is inconsistent.
Tub strength does not impact oiling.
Second, none of these cars -- 1997 --> 2008 at minimum, oil perfectly under loads above maybe 0.9 Gs.
But the solution, or the improvement since its not a complete solution, aside from (corner slower) is a deep sump, not 17" wheels.
If the issue is tub/subframe strength, the solution might be a techno-brace, which distributes the forces much better across both sides.
So i don't buy that this is a deal-breaking concern. especially for occasional track use, which generally means well under 1G.

Pedro, if you were to do the IMS direct oil mod mod on either of these cars, which bearing do you prefer?
Thanks for all the input.
