Wait so you think the m96 is a good design?

Yeah right. This engine is one big mistake

The mechanic didn't say all M96 motors were trash, just the 2.5L motor.
They are all trash, 2.5 to 3.8 (m97) and everything in between

Finally got a few pics. Too busy enjoying the ride.
Definitely not a stock color but lots of personal significance.
Look forward to seeing you on the road!!
