Yeah yeah. Supercharged running like low 14s, still not what I call impressive - I mean faster than me by like a full second or two, but still not what I call impressive. Don't get me wrong, I like how they look, sound, and drive, but I still wouldn't soup one up.

Almost anything as a Pro car can be fast, but for some reason I can't see that thing cruising on the expressway on its way to Clearwater. But oh well, I guess I'll be productive. As with all cars, get it breathing better (Intake and manifold if they make some, full exhaust) and a chip would probably be a good place to start. After that you might think about some weight reduction with fiberglass or carbon fiber interior/exterior mods. I never looked into just WHAT makes those things such tanks because I was too busy loving every minute of looming down on Civics and Corollas, but there has to be a bit you can strip out.

which intake do you have fir that quad....and is this the HO motor. If you really want to build it lemme know I have owned Two GTZ's with Quad four HO motors in them and I have alot of parts and access to a ton more that are extremly hard to find. If you have an early style HO quad then your already pushing 180hp Which will hand most Imports thier asses, but i doubt thats whats in there. The intake mani tells the tail. If you have a manifold that looks like 4 Snakes rapping around each other than you have a base quad. Lemme know what your thinkin of doing and i can get a lot of stuff specific for that motor and you can get some significant power. Just dont expect reliability

for the quad, there is always the cold air intake, exhaust, turbo(if you feel like fabricating the tubing), headers, manifolds...the usual stuff.
