Turbo 3L runs about 7,000 in parts. With this package you could have a car that you would keep for the next 15 years. if stock handling were retained, you would have a sleeper, a very fast car with an engine that has basically unlimited mod potential, and beautiful styling...When you add those all up, and think about keeping a car of this caliber for the long run, it's not that bad of a deal.
Just playing devils advocate.
That's what I'm thinking.
As far as old-tech vs new-tech debate goes, I don't care how many valves an engine has or how they are actuated. How about good old reliable & driveable horsepower? You can take horsepower per liter (the most over-rated production engine stat ever), I'll take plain old horsepower.
