Pictures make it look the size of a Tib when in person, it appears to be more the size of a G35.
I agree - saw one for the first time yesterday. Z350/G35 size. Pictures make it look smaller than it is.

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.

Probably not any time soon. As usual, we like to find the limits of factory components first.
