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!

i too have a 95 st. and when i first got it, i thought it was pretty damn fast. considering i used to drive a pick-up truck and i learned to drive stick with my dad's 25-year-old benz that only has 4 gears and takes forever to hit 2nd. yeah... our car's are slow, but they're not bad. they've got a good amount of torque, plus they don't weigh much. and it handles well so you can take a corner pretty fast. basically... you'll have fun with this car. plus it looks great. and you'll find a lot of info on this site.
