Yep and perhaps stronger internals. It probably is a lighter car as well.

There are at least a dozen N54 cars making over 455HP on stock internals and stock turbos. All it takes is a catless turbo-back exhaust, intercooler, ecu remap, intake, and 93 octane gas or better.

Is that the new Trans Am?

Robo Squirrel · 12-03-2009, 03:53 PM

very very sloppy, ricer-tastic design. mechanical attributes however = WIN

Surprisingly, I do like it. The wheels at first glance look horrific but seem to grow on you after looking at them for a while. While not my personal taste , I can appreciate the design detailing of the wheels. Hey it's a SHOW car , something has to be cutting edge and perhaps controversial to get some attention/buzz. I do like the body kit more than their other blue wide body aberration . Now with some normal headlights and some big BBS's...

I don't know about those wheels. Not feeling it. It would've been nicer with the cf roof. The turbo is sick. What's the specs on the engine?

Hideous.

Yep, its an N54 that appears to produce somewhere around 450bhp.
