Why not why the Aussie $ is kicking arse. I've seen these before but bloody $$$, if you've got the $$$ why the hell not.
It'll be interesting to see the engine life comparison.

that would be most of my engine budget gone just on barrels, pistons & pins. Looks like the go for big horsepower motors. I also read the articles on the site about oil. Very interesting reading.

If you had a Porsche 356 and had already spent $80K doing a full restoration, maybe it would seem like a less painful purchase in terms of percentage of vehicle total cost?
