Or does it simply mean a couple hundred in repairs? I am used to cars that if they break, it's not normally catastrophic engine failure... That's one thing that made scared when I read that about the ims...

That's my real question...

Do not lug!

Hey congrads on your sweet ride. These cars have small motors that like to operate at higher rpms than say your big v8 so don't shift out to soon. Search this site for more info on this if you need to. What you two have done is bought a race car with license plates on it. These cars love to be drivin hard and fast so don't think your going to hurt it, enjoy!
