I'm really not trying to piss you guy's off, but as I said earlier I love the SVT but it aint no turbo DSM killer! I know the truth and I'm comfortable with that.
DSM guys need to check the old "Best Handling Car under 30K" comparison in C&D (about 11/97 IIRC).

E0 SVT and 210HP turbo/AWD Eclipse were 2 of the contenders. The SVT beat the Eclipse in the battery of handling tests and equaled its time on the "Streets of Willow racetrack". That was an E0 which lacked E1 suspension, tire and power upgrades...
So , who gives a crap about 1/4 mile times :rolleyes:
