Meh. A 240 owner will spend more time talking about his wheels, body kit and what a unique snowflake he is than anything else.
That he'll talk about his built swapped engine...
I guess that's the thing for me. With the S550 you don't have to swap engine and transmissions. You don't need forged pistons and rods, you don't need custom cams and valve trains.
With a SR or FRS you do. SR can only hold around 400hp on its stock internals. It's transmission begins to fall apart around 350hp. The stock cams and springs blow. The stock turbo blows. The stock intake blows... On and on.
That's how most of these 4-cylinder turbo cars are. You end up having to pull the motor and rebuy just about everything if you want big power.
