Default You Can't Mod a 4.2

like you can a 2.7. Otherwise the 4.2 is a much better vehicle, better on gas too if you can stay out of the throttle a bit.

Default go with the 2.7T, its almost 50 dollars to fill the tank of 2.7T

The 4.2 will kill you at the gas station, especially if you have a heavy foot.

4.2 cheaper and more reliable in the long run.
