Hey!

I'm new here and have som questions I hope to get answered! ( I'm A 18 year old boy from Sweden if anyone's asking... So don't be to upset if my language isn't what it some times should be.. )

So, just bought my self an 6gc -95, yesterday (payed for every penny myself, so not some spoiled brat! ). It's some distance from me though so I won't be able to get until later on in about 2 week's.

-->However, it's the 1,8 liter engine and it has started to get me a bit conserned.. Is it really that slow as everybody here seem to think it is? Haven't seen, or driven it jet so i have no clue what it's capable of. Fun to drive?.. It's my first car and expectations are high.. And if it really are that slow, are there any relatively sheap ways to tune it up a bit, except addig a turbo?

And so I have one more question; How much does the car weigh ?! I have scanned all the internet for some answers but can't find any! I now the fifth generation weigh around 1350 kg, but I guess our's are less heavier, right?


Hope you can help me out, would mean a lot to me smile.gif.
take care!

Assuming that the car is in good condition and everything works okay, then there is no reason whatsoever why it should live up to your expectations.

Probably a good thing to start with a low powered car - then get more power when you get more experience. I know that there are people her who will be upset with this comment, but statistics show that youth and fast cars simply don't mix. Whether you like it or not, it's a worldwide fact. A vast amount of new drivers simply don't have the experience to cope with a big engine high powered car. So good on you for making a smart first choice biggrin.gif Don't forget to post some pics when you get it wink.gif
