Guess they dont want to compare to our car's torque performance. Must be referring to a NA 4 banger.

I call BS. The numbers don't add up, 0-60 in less than 4 seconds with about 180 lb ft of torque and 2500 lbs. It would be nice if it were true, but I'm thinking vaporware. We'll see in 2007.

I would take one

My buddy was heading to California to drive and maybe buy one, but wasnt able to make it. I think he said it was around 100,000 but dont quote me.
