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.
