Hello Shadow,

If it was sold in the US, that would give it much more volume. More volume=cheaper cars. As long as it looks good, goes fast, and handles well, that's all thats needed to sell. People with large pocket books don't care.

The most breaker for The SI was the engine. If you have a fast looking car, it has to be fast.

Look back in your vast magazine archives, I'm sure you'll find one detailing a prototype Si that was twin-turbo charged, and it was incredibly fast.
