mine is sluggish... but that's because it's a stocker with a tired automatic transmission, stock boost, no mods other than a pod filter. get in a manual 1G soarer with the boost at 15psi and a 3 inch exhaust..... will be markedly different. yeah, they pull hard though, and once going mine rips along fairly well... just the very low down speed that's the problem. But as JCMF has said once manual you can keep it in the rev range where the car is producing the most power (3000rpm onwards, really... really starts to sing higher in the rev range though) Don't be fooled, they are heavy cars at around 1500kg... that's a lot for a 2.0L engine to pull around. But they are great to drive... and once you up the boost a bit or do what JCMF suggested, making the boost come on earlier, they will be a much more drivable car. Great daily driver I can attest to that at least. going for a cruise along the old pac with friends I can keep up fine, because the pace remains reasonable... if you take one for a test drive (and its an auto) make sure ECT-PWR is on... it does make a fair bit of a difference to how the car drives. edit: oh yeah, once thing ive noticed with mine compared to other turbo cars i've driven is that the power comes on very linear... its not BOOM a big surge of power... it just increases very linearly from around 3000rpm onwards. but my car has issues and boost should be coming on earlier than that anyway.. ive got to fiddle with my timing more. having said that, if you just put the boot into it, youll feel it really push you into your seat then.... i just mean from a standing start, its not like its just BOOM POWAH it really comes on nice and manageable, nice and smooth... however i'd rather it the other way that's why in a year's time I'd like there to be a vvti 1JZ under the hood [Updated on: Thu, 30 June 2005 00:33] [Report message to a moderator]
