i don't know too much about the car (or the quality issues) except that there was an ECU glitch in the first run of cars where it pulled back timing too much or something related to heat from sitting in traffic or high intake temps.
what i do know, is that these cars are awesome to drive. Ryan Wilson owns one (former club member, graduated last year) and he really enjoys it. even though its not that high on power for a turbo car, its still quick the equipment that thing comes with is awesome. LSD, racing beat suspension, incredible sound system, sparco interior trim, sweet brakes and the callaway designed turbo setup. if i remember correctly Ryan did really really well the first/only time he autocrossed it.
