there are a couple around my town that are about to break 11's, and I think they are impressive for what they are, but I still can't get past the Neon factor. They could put an apache helicopter engine in it, and it still wouldn't interest me.

It's a really fast car with the biggest downside being front wheel drive.

5 sec flat zero to sixty is slower than an STi w/300 hp vs the 355 they were talking about. Wheelspin like crazy. Traction is hard to find. It would be a fun car though.

It's even scary to drive at times, like some of the most *****in' muscle cars of the 1960s.
yeah, torque steer and understeer are the cullprits there.

FWD just doesn't work with over 250 hp
