Pros/Cons

Pros

• Reliable, ~450whp daily driver. I commute 2hrs+ per day in this car.
• All the big, important 2.7t stuff has been taken care of recently by the original owner during the engine rebuild. Smaller things have been fixed/upgraded under my and previous ownerships.
  • See service history & build thread
• Rebuilt engine with forged rods & ARP hardware, so its ready for E85/meth or bigger turbos. Should be good for 600+ hp/tq.
• No leaks, NO RUST. Looks great, sounds amazing, pulls hard, and gets a lot of attention.
• Has hi flow cats, no CEL, will pass emissions in most states.

Cons

• Small dents on left rear door, trunk
• Slight curb rash
• Small rock chips on hood
• Underside of bumper is scraped, broken tabs on front grill.
