2 engines on the ones I'm flying at the moment.

As for the Scooby, yes it seems to needs some attention as far as the oil levels go, but other than that it is the MOST RELIABLE car I have had!

Bring on the miles!!!

Your biggest worry would probably be fuel consumption doing 4000rpm at 80mph.

On the M4 today and a type R sits on my bumper, i had a quick burst and left him behind, then slowed down to cruising speed, the type R shoots past and completely blocks the motorway with smoke and oil as his engine blows,

Only with a Subaru could this question be asked
I would say go for it but if the wind is blowing in an easterly direction pull over.
