I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Wait a minute... is that thing like a whole motherboard on a PCI card? In other words, can it be run just by istelf? Or would it need to be in a motherboard? Imagine the "carputer" possibilities if it could. No moving parts (you could use a CF boot drive), you could use a cheap IDE DVD drive (even a DVD burner) in the dash instead of an expensive designed-for-a-car one...
