steak84ss will become famous soon enough

There's a company here in CT that built an over 500HP all wheel drive Eclipse that was putting that power down to all four wheels. They have one of the only all wheel drive dynos in the area....I think. They were actually one of the finalists in the Sport Compact Car Ultimate Street Car Challenge a couple years ago. It beat out some big cars in the quarter mile. Pruven Performance.

And what cars fall into that category??? I think the R34 Skyline was produced in 2002, but i could be wrong. Other than that I can't think of any 2002+ twin turbo cars

I dunno something seems a little off. It claims that by adding a downpipe the car gained 36hp. How the hell is that possible?? The only thing I can think of is that they increased the boost to like 15-16 psi. Also stock talon tsi's do have 200hp stock.
