Well yeah, there should be a primer bulb, pull start, and cabled choke in those things You sure can't beat 40+mpg though in something as reliable as a Metro.

There is a turbo'ed 12a running in the 10.x 1/4 mile in an FB right now - but that engine isn't even close to that. I have to admit that I chuckled pretty good

12A PP FD from NZ, might be a bit better built than that one though

that wouldn't be a first for me, i've seen it all. amateur tunes, cranked up boost on stock fuel, upgraded turbos on stock fuel... etc.

even seen "professional" tunes turn cars into bricks.

My friend has a Metro Hatch. 3 cylinders of fury! He just added a sub woofer in the back and told me that he can definatly feel the weight difference and how much more it hates hills.... Haha
