At least they’re recognizing the issue and will fix it.

Objective > Anecdotal.

I only know one friend with an IMS engine’d car and it’s fine. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a problem.

Sounds line a great track car. Just needs brakes, tires, control arms, a crank, a block…?! And there’s no fix suggested for the temperamental rear drive unit or horrendous seats…
