Dingo...I hear ya, but the power isn't TOO bad. It's something like 215hp on the newer ones which isn't terrible...but not great. I just remember the one I saw with a turbo kit that made 600hp. I love the look of the car, it's RWD, and the idea of 600hp in a car that small is just peachy.
V8...16" BEFORE the canister ain't too bad. I thought you meant to total...that would totally suck.

I know, when i quoted one out i was looking at 38k and for being a luxury car you would think the thing made decent power. As for the turbo. It is un-godly expensive to turo one of those things, and forget about doing it on a 5-sp with out swapping out the tranny. But when you do get the too run good, look out. The only reason I know about them is because i was going to get one
I was actually just reading a thread about a stage 3 turbo running an 11 on its first pass. Ill see if i can find it...

Well we finished Lexustcy's car last week. We were happy with the dyno numbers - the car made 440 rwhp on pump gas at 16-17 psi and made 580 rwhp at 25-26 psi on race gas. Lexustcy's not coming to pick up his car until next week, but we wanted to see what it would run at the track. So, with his permission, we went to Capitol Raceway last night and got one pass.
60 ft 1.940
330 ft 5.003
1/8 mi 7.374
1/8 mph 104.57
1000 ft 9.394
1/4 mi 11.099
1/4 mph 132.59
Keep in mind this is a true full weight automatic street car that you would never know it's power potential when driving it normal. We drove it from the shop to the track last night and rolling on the highway 70-75 mph it would break traction Everything ran perfect and the trans shifted beautifully. We only got one pass before we got booted - I'm sure it will go 10's given another shot. It was nice meeting some of the other guys.

If someone has a video, please post it.

There is a guy that trolls that forum that is gettin 749 hp to the wheels, and drives it daily.
Those cars are badass. But if i were to get one, i would go with a used one. And they are all 215 hp. THey are beautiful cars...
*edit* they threw the video up. Im downloading it now.
