It'* actually a Pontiac Turbo Firefly. Turbocharged 3 cyl madness, pretty quick actually.

I think it was a Canada only model...

Wow we're really lucky

Pretty crazy numbers! I still would say it'* a metro at heart too. I'm amazed they went through the work to turbo it to begin with. Are there any other differances in the car such as suspension?
