I don't see what the problem is. She doesn't want a turbo and is trying to get the best out of it. Please dont be so rude as to tell someone to just shut up. I don't think she regrets the car at all, considering the style its directed at, as well as the awards its won..
Why are you telling someone what to do with their own car? Its like saying I should rebuild my engine to 1000bhp when all I want to do is street it *shrug*. Some people would rather have build quality over RWKW and having seen this car more than a few times I can attest that its in A1 condition. I wish I could say the same about some of the 450awkw gtrs ive seen over the years.
Dan, you're well off base when you say that this car wont make the 128... I've seen the dyno readouts on the dynamo dynamomics systems that say that, the dyno Graeme west used at autosalon was a different brand. Very poor taste to laugh at someones ride and call it a moneypit. And not getting horsepower from a cold air intake and pod filter? With an NA, you don't even need a FPR if you have an upgraded pump... the walbro shoots more than enough fuel for the NA....cmon its all good to disagree, but not everyone is after a high power figure, esp if its a street car..
