That saxo does have a turbo, but im my opinion, it wasn't developed right... never spoken to the lad who owned it, but i did see a few pics last year.
Real power was my car on the way home on friday after a LONG week at work... feckin thing was squirming sideways and spinning in 2nd in the dry.
Air temp was 6degrees... turbos love cold air!
Put a smile on my face anyhow! smileys/smiley17.gif

BTW, when i say spinning, I dont mean a little whistle off the tyres, I mean a proper slip developing into smoking tyres as the revs rise.
Not done that in ages, but was in a bad mood smileys/smiley17.gif
