Maybe it's no sleeper drag car, but the one I drove made it's ~60 ft-lb advantage over my FRS readily apparent even with an AT and it being in awful condition.

~20 mpg is livable imo, and I want to get one on track for about $7k for a laugh, seems like a bargain to me. I know I won't be setting any records or even chasing down 86's but seems like a little sleeper to me with awesome suspension, bulletproof drivetrain and interior that's still a step or two or three up from my FRS.
