Ouch. What exactly happened to it? I know about the first run over heat, was it a head gasket?

rebuilt second hand engine will take more power than a new unit.

That's a crazy amount to spend but if you want to best of luck sounds like you need some.

Doose dude, my car is sooo messed up. It all happend the 1st run. When it overheated it fried everything, and i mean everything head gasket and all. These guys are actually cool at this dealer, surprisingly pretty performance cool. I was thinking about it tho i have put around 20k in this car that incudes the cost of the car and i could have had a nice s4 for that and still been in that performance range. oh well.
