That original coupe was so incredible. Friend of mine had one in college and I loved it.
Just seeing in the ad above this that the Infinity FX has 390 HP??? Jeez. All cars going that way now it seems.

Finally read it, pretty amazing. Although I already knew the story. the 500hp firebreathing (literally) group b car (der herr der ringe) is my fav.

For me, the boner was the 720hp V8 sedans running the street courses. I wonder if I cud get a "streetable" 720whp to the ground in my D2?!?!?

And, still maintain a sucky 14-18mpg in mixed driving...


...and a wide-body kit that will fit in the parking spot out in front of my apartment!!!

Am I asking too much?

You could do it if you swapped in a diesel and your mileage would improve if you did.
