Anyone ever raced one or seen one go? Just met a guy that has a 3cyl Turbo one, brother claims that it would spank me silly...Never seen or heard of one. Those are like 800pnds arent they? But the driver of this one is like 230 or something. just wondering what a 3cyl with a turbo would actually be able to do.

My cars not slow im just fat..

umm...i would say they can't push as much as a 4cyl, less exhaust pressure = a smaller turbo necessary to push power.

I know there is a Geo Storm turbo engine (jdm) but have never heared of a 3cyl metro one. I would say it realy depends if the guy knows how to tune it and can drive if so I would say there is a good chance he would beat you. On the other hand there is a good chance he is just BSing
