the motors are not tourqueless, mabey tourqueless to you but not  for a 4 cyl they have plenty of grunt, and hey the turbocoupes get good gas milledge and also are great and fun cars to drive, have you ever owned a turbocoupe or do you own one now? if so i dont think your would have said what you said. and with the turbos there are plenty of cheap mods you can do to make more power, and putting a 5.0ho in them wont solve much either just makes the car heavier and less of a "handler"... im all for the 4 cyl :headbang:


So what does the torque curve look like?

Peaks at 4 drops at 55 with peak of 220. Not a real good torque curve, but it is a 4cyl so most dont have a flat torque curve. Putting a V8 wont solve much either? Please tell me your kidding!
