The delSol owner really could have made that car special by El Camino-i-zing the trunk into an open bed. I've seen a "quality" job done on a Cadillac

50,000 rpm aside, the most insane part of that article is they paid to repair the thing. Why would you not just buy another vehicle at that point?

So given I have no experience in turbocharged engines my question is - would this rpm range help in spool up time?
