Less weight, more torque, straight line... careful when you pick your battles, you just never know what a 4-cylinder is capable of these days.

The X is silent
Some of the KIAs arent bad looking, and the Koup isnt a bad looking car. The only thing I have against KIA is the people I know who have been injured (and one killed) because the onboard safety systems malfunctioned. (Broken seatbelt and no airbags when she flipped / No airbags during a head-on) I know Hyundai is their sister company, and I would buy a Hyundai for a DD before any Honda/Toyota/other boring company - But I couldn't buy a KIA, no matter how good they look.

what rpm in third did you start at? You always have to remember the 8 is terrible downlow. If you're at anything less than 5k and you want to punch it, drop a gear. This car is about power up high, not down low.
That's to start,
then, there's the driver. I can run a car almost a full second faster than another couple guys I know in the SAME EXACT CAR (not same model and make, etc, but they get out, i get in).
edit: also, this car isn't a drag car anyway. its a corner carver.
