Yeah...there are some pretty fast imports. (A long time ago I had my butt
kicked at Sears Point by a 11 second Bug...No turbo, just the 2250cc engine
and some NOS.)
I also remember at one "grudge meet" that a few of the imports were running
way too much power for their drivetrains and literally snapped CV-Joints on
the launch.
You buddies is definitely one of the exceptions though. I was mainly
referring to the people who put all those funky stickers on the cars (mainly
Honda/Acura). Remember this thread started out with a few laughs about the
intake system.

Interesting perspective. A buddy of mine has a Toyota MR-2 Turbo that's
been dyno'ed at 310HP at the wheels. The thing is downright scary,
'cause it's only -sorta- interesting until about 2100rpms. Then the
turbo wakes up, and the HP jumps from about 65 to almost 200 in the span
of about 300rpms.
He does an -easy- high 10 second pass in the 1/4, and hits 135+mph at
the traps.
OOf-da!
