OK....I've been tossing around the idea of changing out my engine to a 6. What are your opinions out there. My main reason is not to make my car into a "race car" but just a nice solid performer with power. I also love the sound of the 6 cylinder engine.
How do I know if my car is worthy of such an upgrade? I understand that it's not cheap and that the car will never have the value of a 911, but I just like my car and like the weight balance of it being a mid-engine. Gimme you thoughts!!! Thanks! ED (IMG:style_emoticons/default/crest.gif) |
