Tony, that's what I had 180Hp Quad 4 with a stick. Same drivetrain as your GTZ, but I had the fuel cut off @ 110mph.

Acheiva SCX had top power for that engine, or the older Calais Quad 442. Frequently rivaled a friend at college with a GTZ at the autocrosses. He graduated to a 93 RX-7 R1, but lives in Wisconson. Gearing was a little tall for the engine, but it was rather quick especially for their time. Just as quick as the newest GT's are with a different temperment. And right about the weight, just over 2800lbs for 92-95 style, and 99+ is up to 3100ish IIRC. I think the 99+ is a very different car from both the earlier ones and the Contour.
The 2001 has put on weight, and lost HP, but has more torque which most 'mericans like.
You mean put on weight like most Americans... No offense to you, sir.
