Im gonna do Extra S asap....or whenever i talk to fred when i have money.... 
Hydro-i will bitch and whine and complain.....and then bury my speedo needle past 120 and be happy with my 11yr NA car. 
...if you can get the speedo past 120, you've still got a better car than me. When I was on Monticello, the fastest speed I saw was ~110, assuming my speedo was accurate and I was actually paying attention to the speedo. I know for sure I made 107... But I did still have a fair amount of tacho to go...
But regardless, I didn't mean that our cars are bad, I just meant we have to accept the fact that they're old. My mother has (don't laugh) a 2001 PT Cruiser, ~140k on it, and she babies this thing like it's the last one on the planet. She takes it in for every scheduled service, she gets rust fixed the INSTANT it bubbles under the paint, she has the wheels/tires swapped religiously every summer/winter, and you know what?
It's still had all the clutch hardware replaced, all of the drive belts and pulleys, most of the suspension, it's had the heads apart because a dealer forgot to do the timing belt and it stretched, and it squeaks and rattles. In fact, the clutch hardware had to be replaced a second time to get rid of one squeal. And before you point the "Chrysler made it and it's a Neon underneath!" finger, I know. That wasn't my point. My point was old car=more trouble.
Hell even the '04 XJR has had its fair share of issues! The control arm bushings went out, the TCM shat itself, the brake rotors are ALWAYS warped, and the tranny is beginning to die. It still did 148MPH at Monticello, though, and was second only to 3 super-worked Evos, and one BRE 240Z (all instructor cars on slicks, he, my father, was 1st-timer on P-Zeros).
Old car = more work. Good old car = more fun, though.
And hey, maybe we can do the Extra S swap at the same time, I know I'll love having the lift when it comes time.
