Now with the APS TT and built engine in the G which I have, I can honestly say that I have not worried about anything since day one, I had it boosted about 1 month after I got it with the Vortech for over 41,000 miles then went TT for the last 6 months. Even with no gauges in the car I do not worry about a thing ( still looking for a custom place to install the gauges)
I drive it everyday to work and back which is 140 miles and it has never broken down, plus I take the wife and kids for drives with no complaints about ride comfort or noise issues.
Your going to love this platform compared to the VR4 but I have a sentimental attachment to mine so I decided to keep both

Wow.. this is great info.. thanks all of you! This is just want I want to hear. I want a turnkey TT setup with zero tuning and messing with it. I'm also thinking of not getting rid of the 3k, but driveway space is limited. A daily driver would be nice though..
Thanks again! I think I may wait until the new coupe comes and out and take the plunge with the new motor..
..and yeah.. I would LOVE a GTR.. but.. Don't know if I'm up to the 60,000+ pricetag..

I recall that was supposed to be '07
Now its '08... Seriously, I don't think theres a market and i don't think it will happen
Lets leave "i" out of this and stick with real numbers.
