There is a difference with freeway driving here vs. L.A. though - our entrances are long downhill slopes. Yours are short and uphill. Worst-case scenario for an underpowered car.

So I can say your WRX is too fast for the street.

Really, anything beyond a Geo Metro is then.[/quote]

It depends on the person. I just meant I have no need for a street car that fast. My car is in the 12s somewhere I imagine, that's plenty fast enough for me. Of course after driving a car that runs 10s I may not want to go back.

I was in a building last week with about 35 challenger hellcats in it. 8===D

And for reference my 101 HP fiat can go 100+ without putting up a fight, my samurai struggles to go over 65

1989 Geo Metro 3-door, 1.0L 3-cylinder engine
1585lbs./55bhp/58ft-lbs
supposed top speed is ("theoretically") ~80. Supposedly they have a governor, but I couldn't find whether it's a sped gov. or a rev limiter, or at what speed it would cut off.

best info I can find on a stock vehicle. Used first MY, lightest model, with most powerful engine (there is a model with 49hp, built for fuel econ)

101 out of 1.4l of naturally aspirated fury

Anyone want to pay $200k+ for one?

I wonder if they just wanted it in the showroom for a while as a draw

seems likely. but damn. Price gouging at its finest.
