while i was able to launch the car 1 time fairly quickly (much faster than my saab, but not as fast as it should have been), i just thought that a turbo car should feel more like, well, a turbo. your right about having to peg the tac in every gear to get going. and i did just that. from second gear, around 3 grand, i put it to the floor in every gear right up to 7. still wasn't impressed. maybe they're fast when it comes to numbers, but i'll never give up the pull of my saab. also, i feel they really lack on the freeway. where as my car seems to get to over 100 in seconds, the scoobie felt reluctant. but, once again, the butt dyno does not tell all. all i know is that a brand new car with a 2.0 turbo ought to pull a bit harder than the WRX i drove. thanks for all the input.
