Saying that, it is also pretty sophisticated electronically and mechanically, so if you are NOT a car guy, don't get in over your head and start fiddling with things. Many of the problems that I see brought up on the forum are user induced, not double checking torque settings and connections, hoses disconnected, in general a lot of 1/2 a--ed work. Many want more than the car has to offer, which is a lot, but it is only 195 cu in, it isn't going to make 800 hp. It is a great GT car in the finest German tradition, if you bought it for something else, shame on you. Leave the mods to someone who knows something about cars!
