For the money, new, its a bad *** car. I have yet to take one for a spin but i figure it would go exactly as you described. Its a well balanced car and its not meant for drag racing ( it consitently dynos 160-170whp) but the entire sports car experince is there. The STI version should appeal to the srt crowd. Although i read from many sources it will not come turbo. Either way... At 2700 lbs, rwd, and dozens of companies competing for your buck, you can bet there will
Be many performance parts available for this car.
