Isn't $40k pushing into the old RX-7 FD3S territory (according to inflation)? As I recall, that's why the RX-7 sold poorly in America. Maybe in this day and age of wear/driving your bank account, the car will sell well.

the RX7/Supra/300ZX TT cars were ahead of their time. if they were introduced now instead of then, they'd make a killing. people were still more inclined to buy a domestic in the early to mid 90s (when these cars were introduced in their final platform).

Time has certainly changed. Frankly, people are richer in general now, and the car market has changed as well.

I'm not talking about modded FI factory cars against modded NA cars. I'm talking stock FI vs. stock NA making the same power.
I'll take a 400hp LS2 motor over the 4.6 blown Mustang Cobra motor making roughly 400hp anyday of the week.
There is more plumbing, more parts, and more tuning issues with any turbo car over an easy NA motor. It's just a fact that FI is more problematic.

Factory FI is no more reliable than aftermarket. Otherwise I wouldn't have spent the past 15 years chasing down boost leaks in my factory supercharged corrado and my uncle's 930.

[QUOTE=QUIKAG,Oct 14 2006, 12:34 PM] With the cost probably $40k+ real-world, I'd take a new discounted C6 all day long.
