I actually won the Worst Luck Award with my local car club for this same topic. Over the past 5 years I've owned 2 Talons and a WRX and have spent $75K+ now on the three cars. The one talon I have since sold for $250 and the other two cars both have spun rod bearings. The Talon has ran a total of 2 months in five years with 3 fully forged internal motors that have been destroyed in that time (none of them from stuff that I've done, very long story).
