I've been waiting for someone to bring that up... :roll:

As tempting as it is (NOT!!!!!!!!), I'm reformed now. I couldn't bring myself to go with a $40k six cylinder...this is the FOUR banger! :o :o

No thanks, I'll pass. :)

I will say one thing in defense of the $40k price tag (and I'm NOT saying it's worth it)...$40k is buying everything to the prop...and the prop is a $12k deal by itself. The engine core is probably only about $6-8k of the entire package. The PSRU is probably $6-7k, plus rads, etc...

Again, not saying it's worth it, but there is a lot more to it than just a $40k car engine. No, I'm NOT thinking about it in the least. :mrgreen:

Chad, I know you are just playing Devil's advocate, but that is what my 390 will come to with a prop too.

Sooo, that isn't any more reasonable.

Oh absolutely! The 390 is a MUCH better choice/deal for $40k! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hmmm, That's not a bad deal. Maybe I'll have a look.
