still one of the stronger turbo 4 cylinders to ever hit the market, and it started quite a trend of performance 4 cylinders...i'd say a pretty great car for its time.

I thought ralliartist was running in the 13's on a stock LSJ (part wise) just with driver mods and tunes, and maybe traction mods?

That's also a 2.4L solstice (LE5?). Not a LNF engine. The 2.4L I wouldn't doubt would be much easier to get into those numbers. That car has between 400-500rwhp.

I didn't jump the gun. I wanted the LSJ more than the LNF.

Yeah that was a 2.4l but its NA from the factory, LNF being turbo from the factory would make one think it would have stronger internals. But yeah the hahn 2.4 stage 4 had 390whp the last i saw.

Compared to a moped.

And as far as a road course is concerned they were some of the lightest and best balanced stangs around yes. But one bad move on a drivers part adn they lost all their momentum.

Well, you can blame our "wonderful" enviromentalist hippie I-want-to-tell-you-how-to-live asshats and congress for the demise of supercharged production cars. ZR1 excepted of course

.

On topic, its cool. If I didn't already have the SC, I would be looking at one of these.
