Re: My new whip

I'll try to answer a few questions all at once. It's a 1988 Esprit Turbo, rated at 215 hp, 2.2 liter turbo, five-speed, mid engine RWD.

This definitely won't be topping the old DSM setup, I'm thinking 350 hp would be all I need for this baby, especially since the trannies aren't known for being especially strong and they weigh just under 3000 lbs.

They go between $8k and $30k depending on year and condition, the 88 and 89's can be found running and half decent for about $12k. I might have paid a little less than that....

This takes the place of the NSX I wanted. I wanted an affordable exotic, this will fit the bill just fine.

Not sure if it will take the place of the Eclipse entirely, I might have to sell the GSX, I might not, I just bought a turbo for it so it might stick around a little while. I probalby won't drive it too often though.

Momin, yep, it was on Ebay. :-)
