I got stuck in BQE (Bronx Queens Express) traffic in Rush Hour with my st2 Audi with its st1 clutch, and didnt regret it once things opened up.
If anything, just go offroad like Marge did with the Canyonere
I'd only do a swap if they offered a plug and play kit for the 2.7 with a 6/7spd manual that was also easy to install.
Otherwise just building up the 2.3
That does make sense, guess I'm not there yet, although even if I were, I'd still be 2dr just to have something the future kids will go Mortal Kombat over when they wanna joyride as teens
