I haven't tracked this car and wouldn't track the car at its current power levels, if I can drive the car at its limits on the street there is no point in taking it to the track. I did not buy this car to track it I have a car for that, but if I was to track it I sure as hell wouldn't track it in stock form its wouldn't be fun at all for myself. |

Well the great power debate will never end. Obviously, faster cars exist. But I certainly wouldn't call this a slow vehicle. That being said, I do intend on improving upon the power it already has.
But don't get lost in that. There isn't a single video review where the guys driving it doesn't have a grin so big he's at risk of tearing his cheeks. This car is fun. There is a lot more into fun than just overall speed. I love the way it looks, and so do all the girls ![]() Buy it because it's fun and you won't regret it. Buy it because you want to win drag events and you'll hate yourself every day. |

Ah, so you're a street racer. My apologies, I didn't know. I appreciate that anything less than 500 kW won't be enough for you.

I find it hilarious when some people pay less than $30k for a RWD sportscar and cry about the lack of power. Did you not know what you getting into?
Stop crying, make more $, and get a M3 or Cayman GTS, if you want a sportscar with POWAR. |

Coming from a 6 speed Tacoma, I'm pretty happy. Most certainly in the MPG department as I was probably averaging 13 mpg. Now I'm sitting low and I can zip around as I barely watch the tank go empty. Although, my Tacoma could probably destroy this car (FJ Cruiser engine), I'm still happy with the purchase I made. I pretty much stole this car from the used car dealer.

Addendum
1/ I understand that some people will find the power lacking. I really do. But just because you find the power lacking doesn't mean everyone else does. 2/ What gets me is when it is said the car lacks power. It produces 150kW at the crank. Whether it is enough for you is a different matter.The car doesn't care; it is an inanimate object. 3 / As @JS + BRZ mentioned above if you didn't know what you were buying why did you buy it? 4/ I like freshly squeezed orange juice.

You obviously haven't been drinking fruit juice for long. Sure, in a straight line cranberry juice is a little faster but in the corners orange juice flows far better. That's without ice but let's not go there.
