The more I drive and learn the thing, the smaller my list of preferred cars becomes. The CPO is therefore looking a good deal right now and I am enjoying the mileage and hoping the promise of a .2 allocation is genuine. I am having a very hard time not making it a DD.

Incidentally, the Smokies meet simply made the situation worse. We both got a better sense of what the car is by driving it and watching others do the same. We just don't want to pay for a new engine before it's got decently high mileage on it!

Spending the day with some friends who have a host of delectable cars - a stable of 18, primarily Italians with the horse logo, including some specials. Not one I would actually trade for the GT3 from a driving perspective. Fancy that.

After just the little I have learn from here it, I will feel better with the G motor. I know we don't know how will hold up but seems more promising then heads/programming oil pump.

Sounds like you presented your case, but be sure to lay out all we know about the G motor. Those changes were made for a reason.

Would Chris be the first we know of to get Heads, Cams, Rockers instead of a new motor?

If mine gives up I plan to push hard for a G motor.

I believe others have had parts replaced. If I'm correct Rm21 had just parts replaced on his 15.
