I've decided to alter my strategy from buying a cool car (RS coupes) and hoping to someday get a sweet engine in it, to buying a sweet drivetrain and sticking it in disposable chassis, so that the next time I get hit by some idiot I can just swap to the next one.

Yeah, it's totally overkill, but I got it when I was putting 1000+ miles a week on the car... the extended service period, alone seemed attractive.

Changing the oil every month was getting old.

what's the average cost of 5 quarts of royal purple + filter (let's say K&N for argument's sake) vs. 5 quarts of redline + filter (again, K&N)?

i read a dyno tune article in D Sport where they took a brand new Dodge Ram with a Cummins turbo diesel, changed the oil to royal purple, and gained like 2 hp!
