Downtime, misc. leaks, misc. noises, urge to turn up the boost, going through too many tires, changing oil all the time, changing plugs all the time, having to constantly pop your hood to show people, there is a ton more reason...
Just joking, all of the above are 100% worth it and really no trouble all. Seeing the looks on V8 Drivers faces as you easliy walk away from them is priceless

I am constantly worried about blowing up. I am always listening for weird noises coming from the engine bay. That is kinda annoying i guess.

Dislikes: Everlasting debt, fear of theft (it happened once already), fear of detonation.
Likes: The sheer rush of power, the wonderful sounds, and having no fear
