saw one sexy car today on the road.
i was driving to a job interview today and i saw this british racing green car in the distance, it was small and low to the ground... anyways further down the road i get close... its a lotus espirit... 350 turbo... 
the guy ripped it from a light and my god the engine sound is orgasmic.... had an odd sounding BOV not loud like those blitz units but it was subtle... had to have been one of the fastest accelerating cars i've seen with my own eyes on the street....

Naw, they were 4 cyl turbos pushing 250 hp or so (way more than a factory 4 cyl should have been pushing at that time)... when they went to the V8 things changed... it was a massive four cyl though if I remember correctly.
Saab makes some nice 4 cyl turbo cars too

no sorry i'll be out of your moms bed in 30 mins we're just finishing up
saab even makes some nice n/a 4 bangers... my friend had a late 80 saab something or other... had a 2.3L 4 cylinger.... the car had such short gearing that it could do burnouts in first, then shift to second still spinning... then shift to third and still spinning... but that was probably more due to gearing then brute hp.... or possibly a torquey engine too
