Yeah, he wins something all the time even if its 50 bucks, like the last time I was there. well, I think the first gen if you put a 3 rotor engine and all things nessecary to put the power to the wheels. If you spent 25k on your first gen (same amount as buying it) I bet you could beat him. Your lighter. Is his RHD too? I didn't really look. You have a really unique car steve and I would stick with the first gen. Thats my opinion, but somtimes newer cars are better. Either way your going to go fast.


Btw, if you go this thursday meet, you might see my car finally(if running right)

P.I.M.P., purchasing insane muscle power, go for it. Only dislike is the smegma slick leather seats in the 3rd gen. Other than that, it appears to be an excetionally well built package. I would prefer to see the 3 rotor in a 1st gen, but, what the hey, hp is hp. Your 1st gen will be close to keeping up, but will lose due to the lowend torque of the 3 rotor.

Good luck with the purchase and chaseing down a cpmperable 2nd gen to keep up with the other 2.

When I saw the title, I figured gonzz wanted to do a 20B in a 1st gen. However I think 400 rwhp out of a 13B is plenty for an SA.
