You want more power I'm sure there will be F/I options available.
Lastly, you were thinking it should come with more power....how much more $ are you wanting to pay above the mid $20k price tag to get that power?
I don't need to drive the car to know what a "drivers" car is suppose to feel like. This car is a momentum car. I've been in momentum cars. I had to drive with momentum when I didn't have a turbo, it teaches you a LOT about car control when you have to be fast based on skill rather than power. Now I have momentum and power so 3 times better...  |
I've been lurking the forum since around the time it was created. I decided to post back in March of 2011 (A few months after you joined) regarding the concept cars. I've stated this in my other posts as well, but I do not want to FI a car that wasn't meant for it.
I absolutely love this car, but I just want a little more power from the factory. I might consider swapping an EJ, but I don't know how/if that'll impact handling.
I would easily pay 30-40k for an approx. 300hp version. I'm actually cross shopping a Mustang GT, 370z, and this car for purchase here in the next year or so. Yes, I know that's quite a difference in vehicles, but I have never owned a car and am not sure what i'm looking for. It's going to come down to the test drive.
So, perhaps some others are in the same boat as me. I have no prior experience of a drivers, sports, muscle, or any other type of car. I drive a truck. However, I would like to get something that is sporty and fun. The question is who gets my money.
