the truth is that it'll run to 140 faster than my STi did and for now it seems fast enough, my goal really is about 450-500whp with a real usable powerband - I'm thinking a GT3076R or GT35, possibly a PTE 6262 billet.... haven't really gotten that far yet

the real issue is traction, it'll spin the tires in 3rd gear if i'm not careful - not quite sure i'm gonna handle it on the road track... especially with more power.

Really good coilovers and some Hoosiers should do the trick. It's a different kind of animal, but racecars have been rwd for a really long time.

It's a good looking car. My next project is probably gonna be a Supra...but it's gonna have a twin-turbo bbc under the hood.
