Since the body styles changed so little, if there is similar mileage/wear and tear, I don't think you're nuts. Besides, the SPG is a lot more fun (lowered suspension, turbocharger, etc). One thing to consider though: Do you know they are in similar conidition? Any time you have more power in a car, there is the potential for greater strain on it. Other than this consideration, the only major difference is the addition of the turbocharger (and all that system entails) as another major maintenance item (the other two that come to mind are transmission and engine). My mechanic provided the following guidance to me: Whereas it costs $500 on average to maintain a stock 900, it will cost $550 to maintain an SPG. I concluded it was worth it.
