I was on my way to my first car show of the year, (weather was nice, sunny and 70*) I had ZZ top on the deck, my car was detailed out, I was feeling good. At the light, I had a Subaru pull next to me, and we had an open road ahead of us. Ok, lets play I thought. I didn't have a chance, he had me by 4 cars by the time I shifted to second gear. So I gave in to defeat. It was model with that big hood scoop in the front. Oh well, I better look start looking for more HP under my hood/ [V]turbomangt 2003 Turbo
Yep I guess if we want to beat those WRX's we'd better spend some more $$$. [8)]
Of course that WRX owner is doing the same because he got blown away by the SRT-4, and the SRT-4 owner is doing the same because he got thrashed by someone who has the $$ to buy real horsepower! The PT is a great little car, unfortunately it ain't no world beater in any guise that you care to put on the road. While I'm going try to get mine as close as I can to magical 300 hp, I know there are guys out there that will spit me out their tailpipe in no time flat. But I don't think I'm going to try too hard at finding them cause the most discouraging thing about owning a fast car is finding out its not fast enough. Its either accept it, or dig deep to squeeze out more hp sauce - of course the guy who beat you is doing the same thing cause he got beat etc etc. So I feel for ya turbomangt - [^]but here's to the guy with the deepest pockets!
