Torque=Turbo.
Selling tires: Depends how you sell them: with/without TPMS sensors, with/without tires, what kind of shape they are in, etc..... Should be able the get >$500 though.

They are in great condition but cosmetically to me don't cut it, so I will more than likely post them for sale as soon as I find adequate replacements. I am in Tacoma/Olympia area if someone would like to see them.

Remember, this is a corner car. Carry more speed into the corners, carry more speed out of the corners, and you need less torque off the corners. As others have testified, I'm a more than capable driver, and this car is much faster than I am. Yes, it could definately be quicker off the line, but where it really shines is on those winding back roads where control and finesse are key. Don't get me wrong, when the warranty is up, I'm gettin a CZ, cat-back, and super-charger, but the car is hardly lacking without them.

Thats kind of what I was thinking about the car as well. I guess I am drawn to cars that corner well as I am also an Audi owner. Remembering this, it isn't how fast you get there in a straight line, but how much fun you had in between on a not so straight line.

Yup. Roads are like women, they're better with curves.
