I am driving a 00 4.2, and it has grown on me. As far as the expensive part... You only live once and you can not takeyour 401k with you[sm=jawdrop.gif] Take the 300 HP experience and if you don't like, then take it back... if you are afraid of the dark!?!?!

I believe that the Timing Belt job is the most expensive, and it ranges from $1000.00 - $1500.00.

I am no "Subject Matter" expert, but I think you may like the 4.2...

I didn't take order on a "07" Volvo V70 "R", because of the 4.2. The "R" maybe faster and it is definitely more expensive (Turbo)... 93 Octane or better.

Happy hunting...
