Coyote swap would be far more expensive and difficult than simply bolting on a Whipple.

Quite a bit different animal. The fox is the Beetle of it's day.

Saw one for sale with a Coyote. I'd just build what is in there.

Although in person the Jeep is nicer. Problem being that until 2014 the center console sucked...or at least the double din stereo

Both are copies of the ML though, but considering the Jeep started out as one that is no surprise.

Jeep is so proud of their vehicles they get a 3/36k warranty. Even certified only buys you another 3k miles. Telling tale.

Obviously powertrain is longer, but whoop de fucking do. Not hard to build an engine and BUY a transmission that'll last.

Infiniti is definitely nicer 2012-Infiniti-M-interior-1024x640.jpg

Is the price comparable to the jeep or merc?

Adding a nismo FI for the 3.5 gets it to well beyond 500hp for about the same price as the 50s. Bummer with that though is that Nissan rates it at only 2k towing versus 3.5k for the 50s. Considering it'll regularly tow a snowmobile trailer with 2 machines up to 650lb each + trailer 2k is pushing it.

And there is no difference besides the motor so it is a crap rating, but aargh it is a legally binding one.
