is it still going to be a FWD, torque steering monster with a 2000 rpm (3000-5000) powerband?
SunnyvaleCA... That would be out friggin' standing. Unfortunately, if they did that, they wouldn't sell any rotaries.
I like it, at least they've blacked out the normal 3's silly grin and cleaned up the front fascia a bit. I think in addition to giving the car a proper hood scoop for the top mounted intercooler, the engineers were working on giving the car a bit more power, plus give it more pull in the top end (the car goes wheezy above 5500 rpm). I hope it's a better ride, even though I'm about to put down a deposit on a current gen Speed3.
Throw a nearly 300HP turbo 4 in a little car, then electronically strangle it to keep itself from driving off a cliff. Ain't competition great?
