2.4L motor w/ a 16g turbo stock

My buddy has one and I love his car... w/ just a mbc and no cat-back, he pulls away from BPU FD's, stock evo's, minorly mod'd evo's, stock sti's, stock '05 m3's, stock c5's, etc. etc. etc. all day long from a roll.

From a stop, wheel hop is your worst enemy.

For the money and ease, those cars are amazing... assuming the main thing you care about is performance in a straight line.
