I spent twice that to ensure mine keeps running and it wasn't even broke.
But out the door for $15k is not terrible. Yes, it is > the value of the car, but that horse has left the barn. I'd *rather* spend $15k for a 500hp LSx than a 350hp Audi, but it might come down to the install. If Nerv can truly provide a the "plug and play" solution as he claims, I may forgo the 150hp (can't believe i just typed that!). The Renegade LSx install is WAY out of my skill mix, but I can bolt on some parts and drop an engine in...
