Spark plugs and air filter should be changed at 40K mi.
How's the gas mileage?

then again, the v6 w/ a supercharger is a devastating combo.

amen brother. everyone thinks that since they have a turbo theyre all the sudden "fast"... dam my neck would probably get broken from that joltof an 18.2....

nothing is wrong with your car, you bought a slow car with a tranny that makes it even slower. Your about 4 grand away from it even being "quick"

Well, found the two problems to be a coolant leak in the thermostat cover housing, and a valve cover gasket leak. Dealer is not going to take the car back, due to my already crappy credit,a nd then after they ran it to get me financed the first time, it dropped below the line. SO, I guess we shall see what happens when i diode it and up the boost to 16lbs..

The valve cover and tensioner gasket is $30 in parts and about 2-3hours of labor. Not that hard of a job.
