" In retrospect, the only thing I'd do differently in your case would be starting with an S."

Maybe, I am not sure about that, I really like the 2.7L engine. With the weight savings inherent in the stock car, coupled with my mods, my car is over 200 lbs lighter than a stock 3.2. And with a 25 or so HP boost from the mods, this little car is pretty quick.

The chip also gives the car a extremely flat torque curve over 2.5K, and that coupled with the lightweight flywheel, make it very responsive to the throttle. I can get into plenty of trouble if I want with the little 2.7L. And for those long road trips down south, I get over 30 mpg..... I need to pay for those mods somehow, ha
