Plugs???

I'm picking up my 01 4.2 next week. Someone was trying to tell me that it has some type of strange and really expensive ($200.00 each) spark plug substitutes. Is my friend crazy? Am I?
Thanks Guys

Spark plug "Substitutes"???? What could THAT be? Like a diesel engine glow plug or something? I don't believe him, I've never heard anything like that before. Try to get more details from the guy as I am very curious.
