prolly not too much more than a gasket...those V6's are prone to that shit. even if it is fucked up you get a nice shell for a good deal. engines aren't that much really...you could probably find one at a good price

If its the DOHC motor, then jump on it. The SOHC and DOHC trannies are the same. If you plan to keep it as a DD that is, cuz I don't know if you'll be satisfied with a high 14sec. car. Mid 14s with bolt ons.

Those are the specs. If its an R/T that means you're getting Digital Climate control, Electronically Controlled Suspension, ABS, 5 star safety crash test rating, heated side mirrors, Electronically adjustable 12 way Leather seating, and a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember.
Now go cop that bitch already! lol.
Thing with the non turbo cars is that you hit a brick wall pretty fast. Intake, downpipe, testpipe, 3' exhaust, crank pulley, upgraded clutch, fidanza flywheel, SAFC II. Those, while VERY effective, I think are the only mods you can do with out spending shitloads of money.
Testpipe (race pipe that eliminates the cat) is a reported 7 hp gain on a stock car, and the 3sx performance downpipe is a reported 13 hp gain from a stock car. SAFC is like 8hp, but also gives you better gas mileage since these cars run rich stock.
Its a great Sport/Luxury coupe, but I woudln't expect more from it unless you're donig a TT conversion/swap.

My buddy has now owned 2 TT cars and they have a lot of problems and are expensive to fix. The transfer case and tranny are not as strong as they need to be for that motor. The base model that he owned, however, was very reliable.
