One thing about the 2.7 vs 3.6 discussion that only rare comes up is the spirited character of a sporty 2.7. Yes a 3.6 has more horsepower, more torque, etc but, as an owner of both I have to say that the 2.7 just loves to spin in a way that the larger displacement motor doesn't. Maybe with a bunch of work a 3.6 will do it too but the 2.7 is a real blast.

I bought mine from a good friend who sold it because the motor was on borrowed time and figure that I'll refresh it one of these days. Meanwhile it has already had the bulk of the updates and although I don't race it I have enjoyed relatively problem free sport driving for 20 years. That's 20 years since he thought it was about to blow.

I change the oil etc and that's about it. It gets parked when the snow flies. It hasn't been a ton of miles but I have driven it back and forth from Utah to Oregon and would not hesitate to do so again.
