I am not going into the whole problem description again since people are probably sick of hearing it. The problem is evident and repeated so not sure why the trend is to attempt to search out some other obscure and mysterious cause. It was a manufacturing error for a period in 2013 and that is it.
I agree "starvation" seems to be resolved (improvements in packing application I suppose) but overall pressure hasn't changed AT ALL. Nothing has changed in the oil system. 65psi at redline just isn't enough. If you baby the shit out of your car and rarely see redline then you are probably safe. It's a damn sports car though it should be possible to autox and/or track the car without shortening it's life dramatically.
