Re: Make shift Turbo Coupe



I can attest to actually modifying a Coupe GT(NA) with a supercharger,
that the
200+ hp's generated, are by far, TOO MUCH power for the 2wd car to
handle!
Way too much!  Sure on the highway the power is awesome, but city
driving
can get real hairy in the triple digit speeds!  A 165  hp engine is
more "suitable"
for the 2wd Coupe.  This power level is "manageable" with throttle
input!

A 4KQ though, with its added 500lbs of weight, seems to handle the
increase
in power quite well!  

The 200hp+ just wears out parts too quickly in the non Q Coupe!(BTDT)
