Yeah the upcharge for the .2 is less than a replacement motor for the .1 so IMO it's worth it.

The only way an :ellis: Porch is worth it is if someone else does the swap and you pick it up for cheap. Otherwise just get a vette.

Renegade hybrids make a Cayman kit, but apparently modifications need to happen to the firewall.

Yeah 180 HP sounds rad. Wonder if they're going to beef up the gearbox. Or change any of the user interface stuff. That Mazda Connect system has its quirks.

It was a terrestrial corporate jet. It was the essence of cool. It almost replaced the 911. What's not to love?
It's Porsche makes a Corvette that isn't as good as a Corvette... :iono: front engine Porsche don't do a ton for me, but it is a neat car. I like how he put 928 in the price :doe: :lolol:

I found infotainment in the Fiata to be perfectly satisfactory. One thing that really impressed was the ability to successfully have a phone conversation through Bluetooth with top down on the freeway. I like that it's relatively simple too, will somewhat strand up to the test of time.

I still want one... But the fact that you can't track one kills it for me for now.

Just the RF targa can’t be tracked the ragtop can.
