SR: Reliability, factory turbocharged , oodles of aftermarket parts = bang for buck

SR, fun in stock form great baseline to start on as a first turbo fun car to drive setup and plenty of potential to make enough power to scare the hell out of you. And as Sean said plenty of parts available while being quite a reliable motor.

Ka - because I'm poor and I still get a nice big "bang" for my buck (sarcasm intended )

ka-t, very torqey and since im doing all the work my self i wanted to learn and get all the experience of turboing a car myself. i like SR's just as much. didnt really matter, just thought that i could've learned more from a KA then SR. as far as gettin to 300 hp.
