Vintage built me the first ever Subaru Spyder in 2003.  It had a stock 165hp 2.5L EJ with a stock ECU.  I wasn't happy with the power.  After my motorcycle accident in 2013 I bought an Intermeccanica Convertible D with a 125hp 2.0L VW/Audi watercooled.  I put in a larger cam, reflashed the ECU and replaced the exhaust system.  Probably got it up to 135-140hp.  I wasn't happy with the power.  My current Vintage Spyder with approximately 200 hp is just about perfect.  I'm keeping the Spyder and will be building a 356 replica in 2-3 years.  Who knows.  I thought I could be happy with a stock 165 hp Suby.  I can't.  Carey would rather put a stock Suby with stock ECU in my car but is willing to go with a built Suby with aftermarket ECU.  He also said that for the rear engine 911 car he thinks he's going to use the stock Porsche 911 rear suspension.  Sounds awesome.  I like the looks of the A better than the C but I've come to a conclusion.  The most important thing for me is power.  I'm 61 years old.  I just spent close to 6 figures on my daughters wedding.  Its my turn.  This is likely my last car.  I really don't know what I want other than the ultimate performance car.  2-3 years is such a long time.  Subaru aftermarket technology can change.  The watercooled SC6 could end up being the ultimate 356 replica.  I'm putting myself on both lists, the speedster list and the SC list.  I'm about 2 years out on the speedster list and I guess I'll be about 3 years out on the SC list.  I need tokeep my options open.
