To the OP…

Are you going to man up and swap a 4g63 in your new econobox now?

your smart enough to make a colt go mid 10’s, but dumb enough to do 200mph in a chassis that never knew that speed existed… :nuts:

There are two kinds of colts that people do. You can put the 4g63 in them and they are still FWD. Many people by beater or just get a free colt and throw a junkyard 4g63 into them and drag race them.

You can put the 4g63 in them AND the AWD system of the DSM’s. Its not so easy but its been done quite a few times. These cars launch extremely hard.

i dont think that thing could go 200mph. It takes good aero and gearing to push 200mph, i dont think that car could do it. It doesnt have the aero i feel, may have the power but not the aero. trapping 140+ doesnt mean it can go 200. the difference in air weight to push at 200 compared to 140-150 is ALOT! maybe it can, but idk…its just abit hard to see that box go 200

sick sleeper nonetheless. 4g63’s make some power!

It’s the Internet. Take everything with several grains of salt.

By the way, the Miata tops out at 250. True story.
