300 is the safe limit, then you can drive it quite hard, could handle 360lb/ft if you drive like a tart mine broke at 320lb/ft

That's a fine looking car. It looks the mutts in black.

STI, not an option, besides....i like the understated look of mine, im going for the sleeper approach . However, when possible i would prefer to drop a 6 speed in there for added strength.

300 was the number i was thinking, i dont rag the life out of it all the time, but i do do the occasional 1/4 mile effort.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Neil.
