I'd like to swap that engine into my current RX-8 as I already have the suspension upgraded. But if for whatever strange reason I couldn't do that, then I would make a trade.

I already have 300 hp. The warranty doesn't bother me. The loss of the cost of turbo + accessories and depreciation on the rx-8 would be far too great to offset getting the new model when it makes the similar hp.
