Welcome!
You have a 2005, do you know if your car was an early or late 2005? Early 2005 997's (called a M96 engine) could have a chance of the IMS bearing going bad. If it happens it is catastrophic. Their is a bearing retrofit replacement from LN Engineering. Search under the 997 forum for thread titled "IMS failure" or go to the LN Engineering website and read up. Really supposed to be rare, but if your proactive, should not be a problem.

I wouldn't fret too much about the IMS thing. It has happened on a very small percentage of early model cars, and IMO has been blown a little out of proportion. Just enjoy the car. Congratulations and welcome.
