With a few simple mods 240T's are a LOT faster. Way overcomes the "turbos aren't reliable" myth.

As for the perception....well..er...NA 240's are slugs....ok,ok OLD slugs on downers...uphill, with a 120 mph head wind and crutches....

But worse is that Hyundai driver who thought he could take me....NO NO!! Worse even, is the other Hyundai driver who just cuts right in front of any 240 ASSUMING that the 240 is doing 15 MPH max, when in reality the 240 is doing 55, and when I write "cuts in front" I mean with a whole, generous 20 ft, turning right into the same lane, from a dead stop. Please see other posts for reasons to have the best brakes!
