AGREE !  I am converting a 97 gst spyder to AWD, hope to squeeze about 350

hp out that little four banger.  I was at about 270 hp before starting my 
modification and I still got about 28 mpg - I drive it hard!
I would like to see anyone come up with another way of getting an AWD, 350

HP convertible for under $10K!
