Yes- the fact that those cars are sooooooo unrealiable is what keeps me
from being even slightly interested.  I have had friends who have had them
from time to time.  They are REALLY DAMN CLOSE in speed.  I raced an
unmodded GS-T 4 times and won 2 and lost 2. (My car has only a drop in
K&N)  Another friend had a brand new GS-X.  The engine took a shit at
3,000 miles!  Thanks, but I'll keep my GTI!  Put a few suspension pieces
on a VR6 and you'll have a much better car for at least $5K less!
