dr_sharp is infamous around these parts

So you only get peak torque output for 10seconds at a time? And what is up with peak torque @ 1950 rpm... whats the point of the turbos if they don't add torque up top?

Otherwise fantastic numbers... didn't expect the weight reduction.

I want to see a dyno so so so badly. I want to see how the torque curve ends up. The power range is more important to me than peak hp, but we'll see.

Looks very promising and thanks for the article.. Although im still now a fan of the wheels, front bumper or rear exhaust in the bumper, they don't look "clean" to me... It also should have had more weight reduction done, oh well, can't wait to see its actual road test

The looks are still a little off.
I'm convinced the camo is deceiving our eyes.

This is going to be one hell of a car. Who cares about the small jump in HP when it does 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, isnt that what matters guys?

I want to see 0-125mph. That is the improved performance I am after. Actually better yet, 60-160 would be nice.

I just meant that it's really fast, and that's what matters.

The fact that it is lighter than the previous model is definately a step in the right direction. 473hp is definately not a bad place to "start" for a Turbo car that is going to be modded.
