What you don't really notice from the passenger seat is how quickly the first turbo spools.

And just think, the "typical" modified FD still running its stock turbos is usually in the range of 300 to 350 hp at the wheels. A stocker puts down about 230.

Not the dyno queen numbers of a Supra but it's also got a 600 lb weight advantage and better gearing.
