Do you drive or just post endlessly? Tires, My S burns thru them. My car is driven HARD almost daily. I guess if it sat on jack stands for weeks at a time in somewhere in Wash. 2000 maybe. Average over 10 yr of ownership and 138,000 miles. My car is near perfect and 19yrs old. I have never heard an S owner wish they bought a base. I wonder what model partical has? Since when is 50bhp not substantial? Guys are happy with 10 from an exhaust swap. WTF?

25% isn't worth it to me. That might be arguable, but to me its not worth it.

I doubt you're gonna get a real power difference out of an exhaust swap if you retain the cats. You MIGHT move the power band around a bit if you change your exhaust up.



$2000/year... a bit high, but by no means low. I'd say $1000/year. First year preventative maintenance is gonna be the killer year, but after that it should tapper down. I mean struts alone cost $800 for all four corners; that's a must for me on a new to me used car purchase.
