well considering it has nothing done to it I dunno what to say. It came from the factory as it sits in those pictures (not sure about color matched hubbies though)...and as mentioned already...it is boosted.

You should see what happens when you put a 4cyl in one of those things.

The car is boosted somewhat.

The Chevrolet Sprint Turbo is also the Pontiac Firefly Turbo (up here in Canada), which is also the Suzuki Forsa. The car has a 1.0L turbo boosting at a max of 7.5 psi. I think it rates at 70 HP, and 107 lb/ft of torque.

I think they discontinued the turbo model in the states up until 1989, but they continued selling the Firefly Turbo here in Canada till 1992. Maybe you are looking at the Canadian version, but rebadged (or re-stickered) as the Chevrolet Sprint.

The Firefly and the Suzuki Swift GTi came with an optional 1.3L inline 4cyl.

You would be surprised what those cars can do, they are quick when boosted. A buddy of mine has one and it goes.
I dont like the hub caps though ........

I don't know guys AutoX'ing this car I think would flip in a sec... FYI: SUCK *** DRIVER+SUCK *** CAR=DEATH

turbo charge at 7psi... is 70HP, it would be a nice race with a gas fed 20cc scooter

but offroading with this booger would be nice out in the desert offroading is always fun...

well instead of spending all the money on multi purpose paint he could've probably saved it for a reliable car...

but then again i can't blame the person driving it... he must've gotten laid alot with that car... ummmm... NO!!!

Ah. Reminds me of the Mitsubishi Mirage hatch I saw out at Bandimere Speedway that had boost. Of course the Mirage actually had some step to it. I think he ran about 14.5 or 15.
