Your welcome. This is very nice news, makes me wish I had gotten one. J/k I love my RA lol but if I could've had one of these as my 2nd transportation I would. I'm seeing more of them on the street now. Keep us updated on the race car.

I heard some guys from Korea running 500+HP on the V6 with twin turbo set up. I see this car becoming the "new Z". Affordable, RWD, tunable.

No power goal really. We want to make products that are good bang for the buck. Maybe I said it but our intake was dynoed by DSPORT, it made as much power as HKS $1600 catback. HKS mde them keep it out of the article though because they are advertisers with DSPORT and we are not! Guys drink the TOMMY HILFIGER KOOLAID all the time.

Not a great value? I think you get a lot for your money, esp. with the premium and track versions. I test drove the wrx, a couple mustang gt's, camaro v6, and the g8, along with 3 different trims of the gencoupe before deciding on it. The others may be faster stock, but that is the only advantage, except for the added traction in bad weather the subaru had, and the g8 came the closest in my opinion. When compared with my 2.0 track, none of them (which all cost as much or more than the gen) had push button start, brembo brakes, stability control and LSD you can turn off easily, HID's, awesome stereo with Ipod interface and homelink, blue interior lighting, split leather seats, 30 mpg highway (although the chevy "claims" to get that much) 10 year warranty and not to mention a lot easier to upgrade the power of a turbo. Granted the wrx is turbo also and quicker stock, but the gen's motor seems to have been tuned pretty conservatively from the factory with a lot of potential to open it up with just a reflash or tune...
