^ I probably wouldn't want to own one though. I'm somewhat surprised to see as many all-out performance swaps being suggested here; I have a hard time accepting giving up a lot of fuel economy in the name of power. Any swap I would seriously consider wouldn't give up much in the way of economy, and preferably would improve in both.
Me too. After all, going fast and getting caught are very expensive these days. 100+ mph is a FELONY in my State. I can do that in my stock Tempo.

And if I do decide to engage in felonious behavior I'll do it on the V-Max. Why drag 3000 lbs of tin and plastic along with if I want acceleration and speed?
