These are fun cars to drive. I have owned two of the. Although both of them had the 3 Ltr swaps. The stock 2.5 Ltr was a junk motor with poor oil passages in the heads. And don't get me started on the stock diff in these cars. But all that said I would probably pickup another one if opportunity arose.

I almost snagged one, had everything ready and the owner flaked on me. I am definitely still in the search. I'll just road race it until it dies, and swap it.

I'll be curious to hear about your owner experience. I always thought about getting one of these but the majority of them seem to have engine issues so it kept me away.
