[Biturbos4] Naughty thought...

[docwyte at comcast.net]

Almost every car on the market now has 4 O2 sensors and 2-4 cats.  Most have more sensors than you can shake a stick at and are DBW.  Unless you get a car built 1995 or older, all of the cars will be almost the same sophistication and complication level.

That means maintenance will be similar once they fall out of warranty.  I have plenty of opportunities to take advantage of the power that my chipped S4 makes.  You can get just as many tickets in a less powerful car...
