ok the 323 gtx has a b6t whics is 130 hp but is easily bumped up with a exhaust DP fuel pump and computer flash....msot have seen 150 whp and high torque...but they are impossible to find....teh bpt in the jdm one was 180 hp

get a 1g talon...its' the best band out there...and has soooo much potential...you can have 300-400 hp on the stock block...jsut get tre tranny or a magnus dog box for it to be indestructable...get a evo 16g crank the boost with a supra sidemount and you are 300-320 hp on a well tuned setup...or get a 20g and make some serious HP or a 50 trim for sweet pump gas power...look into it...you can find them for sooo cheap...liek a mint 1g for like 2000-4000 for a real sweet one...you can even keep the stock turbo and make some real good hp...surf www.dsmtalk.com

Nobody has mentioned the mk2 gti g60 synchro rallye. it has AWD and a g60 engine, and you can pull off the supercharger and add a turbo to that bad boy easliy cuz the internals are already forged and ready for boost. It's really rare, there was one in B.C. in mint condition but the owner was asking a ridicolous price for it.

yeah his name is Tony last year he ran a mini that wheel and tire zone provided for him to use. the Mazda GTX was an ice racer this past ice race season. last sunday I actually sat shotgun in that same car that was on tuner transformation at an autocross.... still have to convince him to let me take it for a spin

anyways I'll be talking to him about the car . but right now the DSM looks to be the "only" low cost option out there... the rest are rare and hard to find cars .... even if they are cheap they are hard to find.

if you can find one, a 91-92 Toyota Celica GTS AWD Turbo....they are cheap too now. Actually, I've got a friend who might sell cheap...it's got a lil rust but, engine works wonderfully...I know cause we work on it exclusively.

thats cuz they were never sold in north america...that one for sale in BC was no doubt an import...the only syncros available were the Passats...then again I wouldnt race a stoopid G60, those things are junk and like to tear themselves apart!
