And remember these Ford Turbo Engines are still the R&D ones, which means the stock pistons, rods and crankshaft along with the block has been ridiculously over-Engineered till they determine how many K's the components can last, before they cut-back on the reliabilty/extra costs factor such as Nissan did with the SR20s' :wink:

Toyota avalons are brilliant cars if you ignore the looks. which is admittedly, a pretty huge thing to ignore.
