| Footnote | ||||||||
| No performance tweaking was done - for three reasons: | ||||||||
| a) Such tweaking may void the warranty, whereas cosmetic changes do not | ||||||||
| b) The 2.7 setup is pretty 'tuned' already. Maximum gain is about 15-20hp (10%) and then the cost goes sky-high | ||||||||
| c) We already enjoy the car as is - on road we don't need more performance But then again, what about that 3.4L conversion? | ||||||||
