Hah yah that was a major seller as well. Never felt so much like im riding on rails. Sure the tibby with a full suspension is solid as a rock, but you distinctly feel the front wheels pulling! Never again!

SO on a base 6 speed with a $1500 turbo upgrade and a few other items on a $21000 car, you are over the V6. V6 is crank 306, this was WHP 306. Cheap speed is what you got.

Not that crappy, and dude if you want your hyundai, get your hyundai. To me it's the same deal as the SRT-4 and the Cobalt SS, great performers but end of the day, their still a Neon and a Cobalt.

defensive fanboyism. You can never discuss another car being capable vs. the RA, it is the best sedan ever built, period. I don't get the Neon, Cobalt either. To me he may as well threw the Lancer in there also.

My point is that they can all be great performers but in the end they all seem rental car-ish. And yes you absolutely can discuss any other car, i like my car, sorry for that? Kind of why i bought it. I like plenty of other cars, saw a MS3 dyno yesterday, it's a beast. Definitely better than the RA in performance aspects, but i like my car, sorry. Same goes for the WRX, yeah stock it's a better performer, also considered it. I test drove the gen coup, just didn't like it. Yeah i can drop a lot of money into it and it'll perform really well, but there goes my warranty. At least with the RA i stand a chance at keeping it, but again for 6k more. It's all about preference.
