actually it's like 14 hours just to get there but i'll make a road trip out of it.

you can drive my car and I can drive yours, that would be fun, no?

the savings in gas is negligble. the 3.8 is just about as efficient as your 3.1. PLUS you get an upgraded trans. And you can't put a price on happiness which is a bigger, faster, stronger motor :p

you could still get a low mileage GT or GTP for maybe 1000$ more than what you would get for your SE. Thats still 3000$ cheaper than doing just the motor swap AND the car would come with a HUD and the rocker panels you like...

just something to think about.
