I also was wondering kind of along the same lines. My 5mge has about 145k on it now, and theres a few things starting to go. Instead of sinking money into it little by little, and still having a slower car, I wonder where it would be economical to get the 7m. Also, how much more would a gTe be/how much harder to find then just the ge? Would it be worth getting the non-turbo motor? I have sort of "limited funds", you know?
