Quattro at half price?
I bought a new car this weekend, and it's so good I
thought a few of you might like to hear about it. It is
an all-wheel-drive turbo car. Some of the goodies include JE
forged pistons, custom wrist pins, variable timing dual overhead
cams, Electromotive TEC II engine management, custom hybrid
Garret VATN turbo, Hand Fabricated aluminum radiator and
intercooler, thin wall AL tig welded intake tract with
a K&N cone filter and a cold air box, custom exhast manifold
with turbonetics wastegate and a greddy blow-off vavle.
Only two problems as far as this list is concerned. First
it is Japanese, and second it only has five cylinders and
1.6 liter displacement. Some of you remember the discussion about
claim that a 323GTX was "a Quattro at half the price". That was
motor trend or someone innane like that who said it. Some even went
so far as to say it was just a little Japanese rattle box. Even said
"half a quattro at half the price".
One question. Does anyone have a quattro for sale for 5K or less
that will do 0-60mph in low 5's? If so, I may come back to the fold.
