The Elipse took the place of the Conquest & Starion. Those were RWD so I liked them a bit more than the Elipses.

I will tell you this, my stock buttom in can hold 400+horsepower which isn't too bad for a 1.6L. The engine also is very high revving. Stock red line is 7200 for turbo cars & 7800 for nonturbo cars.

I started this thread to see who else out there has a vehicle that they have or were building on that isn't seen everyday. Somehow we are way off topic from that. I love my car & know what it can do & I guess the only way anyone else will know is to see me at the track or on the streets. Plain & simple as that. This whole "trial member" label is temporary, that will change with time. I am new here but that is about it.. :-)

And no the Storm (came in the 1990) is a rebadged Impulse (been around since early/mid 80s)
