eric, u only need bout $150 more right?
I pushed Hector pretty hard on the Dragon when we ran it that Friday afternoon and he did pretty good IMO, so he isn't slow, although I know your just raggin' him 
As far as that Kia 5, its actually supposed to be a pretty good handler, well, for a $12K car anyways. If your buying and not leasing, get a good tire/wheel package, you've got enough time  IIRC, the "Dream Car Garage" show modded a Kia hatch, although it isn't the Kia 5, its worth looking into what they did As most of us know its more about handling than horsepower out on the Dragon, so the Kia 5 might surprise people like the CSVT/FSVT does to BMW/Mini owners do

Hopefully next year you will be able to keep up with me......the 2.6 pulley is in and all I got to say is HOT DAYUM!!!! Probably new suspension next year (Koni/GC).....and maybe some more goodies under the hood.

It already comes with 16s and a strut tower brace up front. Four wheel power discs...I think I'm set!
We'll see how it goes. I still haven't gone out there and picked it up yet. It could be a while. 
Anywho, I'm still just eagerly waiting plans for this DR'05 to get off the ground!

Well, it may come with 16's, but the tires gotta suck, so thats what I was sayin' there. Besides, who here keeps there cars stock anyways  Hit www.tirerack.com and lets see what they offer for your Kia, hell for $12K you've gotta have some $$$$ left over

Ya, take the rebate back in cash instead of using it as part of a down payment - that's what trade-ins are for.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
