    These "sleeper" geo metros are almost getting so common that you can pick them out on the road. I've yet to come across one in a race, but I sure as hell know that if a Geo Metro wants to race, there is a reason for it, and I am in big trouble.

      Yah, I saw a video today of a 9 second metro. It was intense. When he shifted to second his tires spun for half a second.

        I don't get what is so impressive about that. I managed to find some sticky pavement today and actually chirp tires going into 4th gear. My MP3 can always spin into 3rd as well. 2nd gear just rapes my tires.

            More than any Protege owner needs. I don't know yet, we are trying to schedule a group dyno session here in Knoxville. We have dyno days about once every couple of months. Hopefully I'll have some #'s in about 2 weeks. I think I will be disappointed, but the car is fast enough for me. My prediction, and anybody who wants to start a pool feel free, is 208whp at 8psi. But I will be happy with anything over 185whp since I am untuned and running very rich.

                Just remember 208 is only my estimate. I could be alot lower than that. I'll try though to get somebody to video tape my dyno runs. The turbo and FMIC are so damn loud, and the BOV is piercing. Just as loud as the RFL but with a turkey.

                      It's cool to us with lesser proteges! (runs off into room and cries) Anyways the tires were slicks, so i dunno if that makes em grippier, but it just looked cool. If i saw a video of your turboed proty, I would think its tires spinning was cool too.

                            I am going to try to get some action footage if my friend can find his video camera. Hopefully he'll find it in time for the dyno next Saturday.
