  Well I dunno about that. :-) I guarantee my old VR-4 would absolutely
waste a stock Dak (to any speed). AWD viscous limited slip meant that
the only time I could ever spin the tires was in the snow. Rain or dry,
it didn't matter; it just bit and took off. I suspect the same could be
said of the Eclipse and Talon turbos.
