I had a drag with a turbo sigma off the lights yesterday.
It had some launch, i had no traction
But he got like a car length on me in 2nd then i slapped 3rd and pissed passed him it was a hella sleeper though.
It had turbo badges and all.
I wouldnt like tryint to steer one round a corner though.

I know there are some pretty quick turbo-ed sigmas around the place...but I've always thought WHY? 
I used to own a Sigma and it was the most poorly designed and constructed piece of crap I've ever seen. The front suspension/steering is laughable and the interior incredibly cramped. Even with new shocks it body rolled so badly I thought of adding a mast and sail and offering boat rides in it! To make it go any faster would be life threatning!
Even though the Sigma used to have one of the biggest turbo's on a production car they still fit into the polished turd catergory for me....

I've had 2 (just bush hackers) they hang in the dirt but dont try turning in one when you have some speed the front end locks up and you go the oposite way you are trying to turn.
In a word death!

Mine used to my Granpas car! And before that was owned by a local reverend! Agree about the cornering though - just f**king dangerous and not funny at all. Still, when I put the 14x215x60 wheels from my 260Z on it the roadholding/traction was a lot better. In fact it used to hop rather than slide if you were going too fast into/out of a corner . The only funny thing about it was massive body roll and it's unique hopping style! It still makes me laugh just thinking about it....

Unless he's put some decent suspension in the front of that (and not just the brake mod) I'd say the jz powered stigma isn't going to last too long......... But then again, maybe he never wants to turn a corner, or go over a bump in the road!!
All that sweeet 2jz goodness going into a bucket of crap

There is a bloke who drives a sigma that works near me. It just looks like a normal red sigma from the outside but its got a chevy V8 in it and it sounds awsome and goes bloody hard

Holy crap, that Sigma is wickid. My mate has a Scorpion, that is pretty shocking when it comes to cornering. It is practically a Sigma... He's put twin webbers on it and a mild cam but hasn't touched the suspension.
