    You don't get it. The engine makes so much nasty, badass power to the front wheels, that 260 of these even spill over to the rear wheels

    Idk, I'd be interested in checking out the custom drivetrain that had to have been built in order to send all those gobs of power from the transverse-mounted engine to the rear axles.

    Right? This guy must be some kind of engineer whose knowledge knows no bounds!

    I read this thread title, straight faced. "Okay sure, crazy turbo'd geo. Why not?"

    I then click the link and started instantly choking because I was laughing so hard from the pictures alone. I started to read on and almost started to tear up from the ridiculousness I read.

    That whole listing is so absurdly ludacris. I need to shoot "E" a call and see if he'll sell it to me.

    With all that mad boost, at least you would die more quickly hitting oncoming traffic trying to pass uphill.

    Exactly I thought these cars were FWD only too. This has to be fake ad if he expects someone would trade a RX7, Hummer H2, or Supra for this mess of a ride.

    The Geo Storm was a rebadged Isuzu Impulse or a POS to begin with.
