Quick, under 6 seconds to 60 although it's quoted at 6.5 or something. Evo magazine tested one at 5.2 seconds.

They are quick, someone on here has one, does 14 secong 1/4's, imports are a nightmare to get insurance on though as i've found out! Jap Import + Turbo + 19yo = must be over 21!

my mates got one its a nice car but a bit shit inside imo. quite tailhappy as well. im sure he told me 30% of power is to front wheels and 70% to rear wheels. he spoiled his i think though by putting a kit on it. il try and find a pic of it.

Up until a few weeks ago my mate was the owner of a wide bodied ST185. Seemed alright.
