I can agree with this. I don't think those kinds of cars are even made anymore. And haven't been for a long time. I do think this car's biggest problem as far as this argument goes is that...

I think you're underestimating the number of people who, like me, would be absolutely fine with merely another 50ft/lbs and no torque dip. 200/200 would make this car a damn BLAST.

I just mean add/change the power. Not necessarily a turbo.

If you're buying all new parts, nothing will be cheap. Period.

And I'll reiterate that 100k miles isn't anything to a domestic V8. I'd give one to my wife to DD.

I just called to ask since I've got my 30k mile service coming up.

$330 plus tax for an oil change, tire rotation and "brake fluid flush and top engine clean."

These cars are hard to get a good oil reading on. I'd leave it as is and get it to the dealer.

The more you mess with it the more likely it is that they'll blame you.
