    How does the car drive? Is it nose heavy? How the shocks? Does the car float down the road? Also, I'm guessing you run hi-grade, so ruff est on MPG? Finally, how does she perform? The engine bay looks really clean, nice install.
    Thanks for your time,
    Blake

      It has aluminum heads, not really any heavier then the cast iron block with turbo that came out. Car handles very tightly, like a sports coupe should. I'm sure the car is capable of 20+ mpg, if you can keep your foot out of it.

      As far as it performs.... 400hp + volvo..... you do the math.
