Yep point taken, i had actually already planned on getting it lowered with shocks and springs, maybe dunlop direzza tyres as well. The 2k is for horsepower mods. I drove a 97 Sprinter GT on the weekend and while it is was "quickish" it wasnt overly fast, so i think it needs a few extra horsepower.

Just got back from taking my fathers new XR6 Turbo for a drive, how much low down torque do you want :lol: , i would own it even being a tiptronic!

Torque is something the blacktop lacks viciously however if you are prepared to drive it between 4k and 7~8k it is rewarding, in this day and age i would take a car with a usable rev range over a turbo set-up for my day to day driving!
