About the PTC Turbo/GT motor: that's the one that a Liberty bellhousing will turn into a RWD, right?

It is fairly bad. True.
The turnig radius isn't that bad on ALL of them. There are two different steering knuckle designs, with different positions for the outer tie rod pivot. The one with the hole closer to the inside edge of the knuckle turns sharper but is rare, and there's no way to tell which cars have it without actually looking. I've been looking for a set of these for my Srt-4, but so far have had no luck!
In reply to Hoop: See my post above. I thought it turned like a vehicle twice its size. In other words, Sucks.
I like this idea - does it keep the ride height the same?
It would drop it a bit. <2" is my guess.

Consider me looking now - that sounds fun - it handles pretty good now, that would make it more interesting.

Good to know. The two my ex's family had were both of the battleship variety.
Mileage is the only thing keeping me out of one. Coming from 30+ mixed in my neon, I can't take the mileage hit with out either the AWD I would get in a Forester, or the space of a minivan.
I have a good friend with a PT turbo with all kinds of suspension work and something or other done to the ECU to make it go faster. He absolutely loves it.
I try, I really do. It just doesn't do it for me. I'd like to like it, but I just don't. If you don't have the same reaction to it I do, then go for it. It is pretty darn fast and handles okay, I guess.
