Comes with a 2.5l Duratec capable of lots of diffident upgrades. Easily capable of 300+ HP.
Alright so 3.0 duratec swap + MT conversion and you're in the hole another 3-5k. If for some insane reason I were rich enough and looking to spend ~90k on a replica/kit car and I popped the hood to a 2.5L 175hp Duratec with an AT, I would laugh hysterically all the way back to my mansion.
Then I would spend easily an 1/8th of that on an "outdated" Fiero with an even more bulletproof L67 Series II or L32 SeriesIII 3800 swap and it would shit all over this atrocity and still look cooler.
Kit cars for the most part are lame, most especially 175hp ones that handle like a short bus and are pretending to be an 1,100+ bhp supercar. Think of how embarrassing it would be to drive around in this with geo metros giving you a run for your money. Almost as embarrassing as this Sebring with a Pep Boys turbo badge sitting next to me in traffic.
