390-hp turbo RX-8

Just picked up the latest issue of Car and Driver - there's an article on a 390-hp RX-8. It's from Protech Performance in Austin, Texas.
GOT SPEED?

Here's the article:

Sorry - I don't look outside of the Canadian section.

Turn out, my brother lives a few Kilometers from there. I told him to check them out when he gets back to Texas. I don't think I would do anything to Turbo the 8, but for what its worth, if my brother (he's an engineer) gives me 2 thumbs up on them, maybe I'll drive down next year, visit my brother and have them install it while I'm down there. Now to find the $10-15K I'll need......

I've heard Austin is a great place, might be worth the drive indeed.
Tell me about the $$$.....does my son really need to go to college when he's older??? hahaha Maybe I could re-finance the mortgage? hmmm Guess I'll just keep dreaming
