Don't know yet. It's my wife's toy, and I figure it (was) already to fast for her...we don't need a 100+ (mph) ticket. So probably stock (still plenty to get that ticket).

Unfortunately, options are all expensive (bought the car for $20k)

~$13,500 through Porsche (with clutch and 2 yr warranty). We've been turned down for any assistance from Porsche at this point, but have asked again - thought maybe if we had them fix it, they could at least forgo making a profit on the engine.

~I think a bit more from Jake Raby, and we're on the wrong side of the country - his warranty requires installation in Georgia (as I understand it)

~maybe $9-10K for a used engine. Doesn't seem like a good option, because we're afraid of losing another one, and it's not that much cheaper than Porsche with a warranty.

Ruff upgrade - I'm not close to that league

Sell it - probably lose as much or more than if we fix it.

It was fun to drive when it ran, and my wife want's it back. I suppose that means we'll fix it.

Oh well, my Vulcan still runs
