I like the 135 and was thinking of picking one up and modding the hell out of it. It's a fun little car, and seems like it would be fun building one up.
Can you squeeze 500 h.p from this car??

Definitely not on stock turbos, and probably not on stock motor unless you use race fuel, but even then I wouldn't do it.

Well said. The car might be a blast to drive but the looks are just not growing on me.

To me it looks like a current E30 M3 that I have always loved. With 400HP bolt on HP and 3300lbs this thing will become a legend.

The car really needs a new front and rear end with a 300lb weight loss. Still, despite the shortcomings i can see myself with one for the performance.
