The car is still running and driving and actually currently for sale for a very reasonable amount of money. If you look in the 308 section I have posted about a BRG 308 that I have turned my attention to. I am substantially more familiarized with the AJ26-AJ27 plants and I feel there is just so much more performance potential in that engine/transmission combination. Every time I drive my X306 I still say "damn this is a nice car" to myself and continue trying to justify keeping it.
