"Chrysler PT Turbo owners choosing the new manual transaxle also will appreciate the vehicle's added performance. Engineering estimates show Getrag-equipped vehicles are capable of 0-60 mph in an estimated 7.5 seconds, about a half-second improvement compared with automatic transaxle PT Turbo vehicles. Quarter-mile speed estimates also come in faster at 15.8 seconds versus 16.5 seconds."

From your own link. So don't sweat it too much. They still suck. lol

Man PT Cruisers are so ugly that I wouldn't even consider buying the turbo version. In fact, the only PT anything I would buy would be the PT Bruiser. Mmmmmmm.

I prefer to think of it as a Neon with an abnormal tumor growth.

235-hp and 270-hp kits will be available
for the PT Turbo and Neon SRT-4. And a
not-street-legal 300-hp kit for the SRT-4.

Hopefully someone will sell an affordable
LSD for them. I remember the LSDs for
the Ford Taurus SHOs were insane $$$.

Ha, that is what my gf says. I like how they look. They are different and that is cool. I get tired of looking at all the cars on the street that look similar. they all just blend together to me.


Dodge had a turbo III daytona out in the early 90's, that came with 224hp, in a 4 cyl !!

Pontiac should turbo the gagt.
