Yeah theyre really nice to drive for sure. A bit ahead of the pack for a 90s car to be honest, especially with the IRS in the back.

yeah actually they made quite a bit that were 5 speed. The one I owned in California was a 5 speed, this one is an Automatic sadly, but the body condition dictated that it wasnt an issue
The 5 speeds in them are the M5R2 out of the Mazda B series and ranger pickups...so its really easy to swap over actually

Mid to low fifteens for the automatics. Ive seen 5 speeds dip into the 14s
under the absolute best conditions. The thing is if you remove the exhaust restrictions and toss on 300 bucks worth of pullies, they gain horsepower quite easily, as anything with Forced Induction does. Pretty much a Rear Wheel drive Grand Prix GTP
The IRS is fun though
Thanks for the nice words everyone. I really do enjoy the car, especially from people that's never seen one before
