what we can safely assume is that they didn't make a brand new engine just for this car so no 2.2 overvores.

That would be excellent but am pretty sure such a light vehicle would preclude it from North American markets not unlike the Alpine A100 (unless maybe they raised it).

Iphone feelings: Hope that gen2 comes with a appealing platform/engine that would drive people to sell their gen1s...

I for one cannot wait to see what's coming. I've made peace with the lower part motor and all that. I get it, it shows the car to be lighter bubbler and frankly cheaper while offering a driving experience that's been lost. In allot of ways it's a throwback.
But, I just don't see why they can't just give it that damn turbo, as if it absolutely need to be upgraded in every way making it weigh 3300+lbs. They could just make it with 200-240 stock and then let the world get what they want. There's a good amount of fwd cars that offer that already, so why not this car? But then I leaned back in my chair and sorta thought about it. An I trying to build a super car killer? Not going to happen these days, porsches hit 60 well under 4 if not 3. But no I'm not. I thought about this one dude who's building a 2g eclipse gst right now on the s2ki forum, and he was talking about how getting over 300hp was a bit of a struggle, technology. I think allot of us think back to the days of sr20det and 3sgte and think oh man if we just had a modern one we could go giant killing. Keto in mind the venerable supra was 320hp, and porsches were still air cooled. I remember reading about how allot of those monster power cars all had built motors, I remember people I knew blowing motors. Point is, if a turbo is what I really wanted, I can just get one of the carb legal kits and call it a day, hell get the edelbrock kit and I have my full warranty. If I want to make over 400hp, well allot of cars don't make that sort of power without some internal work. Don't get me wrong, if they make a turbo I'll be first in line to get it lol, but if they don't, all I ask is that they don't waiver on that position. Going to be a long 24hrs. |

Hey, I have an auto and I can guarantee you there has never been a soccer mom that got away from the light before I did, even if their hauler was faster than me on paper.
