A turbo C4 is something I could rock. My buddy used to have a 4+3 and I was sad when he sold it. Used to be a blast to drive, it wasn't horrible fast but there was just something badass about it.

All these vette stories - I'm getting excited about my Turbo build!! I've never owned a sub 8 second 0-60 car before. (my YZ450F dirt bike does it under 5 but that doesn't count)
I've never even been in a turbo or SC Miata but all this talk is making me salivate. I'm living it through these posts and it's great.
I've driven myself and been a passenger in a few fast cars: Boxster-S, Elise and then Supercharged Elise, 500 crank HP EvoMR, Viper GTS and now the ACR.
This thread is making me glad I bit the bullet and hit "Pay Now" when I was debating on a turbo kit in the last days before buying it. (little did I know there was boost & AFR gauges, pods, seals, 3" exhaust, drivetrain mounts, clutch, wheels, tires, suspension to go along with it) $$$$
I can usually out corner most street people, but now when I blow by new minivans and pickups, all luxury class cars and of course C5's I will be grinning from ear to ear.
Thanks for building up the suspense !!! Lets hope it comes to fruition in a few months.
ps - keep the stories of cars you can now beat going - its great !

1987 16V GTi, It had 375,000kms on it (before I sold it) and daily i had it to over 6K rpm. It was an 8.xx 0-60 car. I finally can afford to have a sports car so that is why it took so long. Our minivan is a 9.xx runner.
From all accounts on the diff. forums an NB with 220whp is a low 5 sec car and a high 13's ???

True, and tires you are running, road surface and temp etc.
I like the rolling start numbers, slower but more conducive to what you would be doing in traffic.
