- latest note says it's now 395 HP vs 400-416 originally stated
- I am very much leaning towards the 4 cyl. with DCT. Main concerns are sound from the 4 pot and long term reliability (Toyota V6 is bulletproof)
Aero for cooling. The air goes through front bumper, then slanted radiator, then exists the hood vents.

I am interested in the AMG 4-cylinder with DCT as well. Lightest Emira available, sub 3,000 lbs with fluids and 90% fuel. A Renntech tune away from being a little monster.
Long term reliability is a bit scary considering how much power comes from that little engine.
