    turbo with sport A/T

    Anyone running a turbo with the P5's sport A/T? High-boost's looks like an excellent package (pretty safe for engine, that is) but how would the stock A/T handle the extra torque? Can it be upgraded and how? fks nothing else to do today except dream of mods. Snow, snow, snow.

    Cornering G's

    I've seen enough 1/4 mile times for a car known better for handling. Anybody out there able to check their skidpad performance? Any before (stock) and after numbers? I thought I've read .85 g's stock so with the right set up I would think pushing .90+ g's isn't unreasonable. I think the P5...

    P5 vs. Mazda3

    I've seen posts in other forums for people questioning their purchase of a P5 when the 3 is just around the corner. After reading some reviews of the 3 elsewhere in this forum nobody should regret their decision. Sure, the new 3 makes more power but if that were an issue we wouldn't have...
