It was formerly owned by a ginger, that's all anyone needs to know

I would trade Catywampus for that in less than one heartbeat.

That said, I am assuming ZW is being facetious with the first part of his sentence. I can't always tell.

This is Bobzilla's old car, I posted it a few weeks back. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/200x-classifieds/nmna-st-prepped-suzuki-swift-gt-in-chicago/108559/page1/

He had some interesting comments.

It wasn't. At all. Great motor. Fun to drive. Drew a crowd everywhere it went. In fact, I was literally parked next to a 308 ferrari at the Speedway for the test session for hte Grand Prix back in 06(?) and there was no one looking at the 308, and 5 people gathered around hte Swift talking about it when I went to leave. Car pushed like a pig in auto-x, the steering rack is too slow for slaloms (manual rack), gearing is horrific (super short 1st gear with a redline shift puts you down out of the power band in second), open diff hurts corner exit and the chassis is about as rigid as a wet noodle that has been overcooked. But dat engine yo.... fun as hell. Sounds like a miata that revs beyond a civic. With those valve springs and bottom end, that engine will safely spin to 10k.... 10,700 to be exact. IT makes no power past 9500..... but it'll keep spinning. One vehicle I do not regret selling. I just wish I could put that engine into something like a 7.

Always assume feces when I speak.

Surprised it's still available. It's a legit car and a good deal.

Yours truly,
