A A A B D C D trickquestion
BTW, the wording on #3 is really poor... do you mean "Who is the largest supplier of turbochargers for the US market" or "What US company sells the most turbochargers" ? And are you only talking about cars/light trucks?
For #8, I'd have a pretty specific order for 90s cars... R34 GTR > FD RX7 > S15 > TME > S14 > all the rest.
Edit: I did poorly.

Typo?
The Turbo S is up to 560 for 2014.
http://press.porsche.com/news/release.php?id=781
so 4 - B
and e_kobz had 6 right.
(Although, if you're talking early '90s, 8 would be F. )
