First off, I have to say that this car looks so much better in person than it does in pictures. You really do not get a good idea of the shape of a car in 2D. In pictures, it appears smaller than it actually is. This might have to do with the large wheel and tire throwing off the perspective. Pictures make it look the size of a Tib when in person, it appears to be more the size of a G35.
Very good looking in person.

As stated above, we did get a chance to get the coupe on the dyno today. Still running 87 octane. It spools ultra fast and makes peak Tq around 2500 rpms if I remember correctly. Peak Tq numbers were in the mid 220s and peak HP in the upper 180s. Chris will be chiming in with his impressions, dyno charts and comparisons soon.
We did play around with a few things and made decent gains. Chris will post all the details.
93 octane dyno numbers coming soon.

Very close. It is a world motor. Mitsu, Hyundai and Chrysler pooled resources and designed the motor. The Evo, Gen Coupe and SRT Caliber all use variations of the motor. There are small differences in all of them but they all use the same basic parts.
