That's one of the few American Compact Sports Cars I like.
Great car.
It has 230WHP if the engine is in good shape. WOAH. That's close to 04-07 Subaru STIs...
250lb-ft is good
Enjoy your new car.

Thanks guys. Ive just noticed a rattle in the engine when its idling, it comes and goes. As well as it is only going up to about 8lbs of boost(should be 14lbs) The car is under warranty until August 26 2010 so no biggie ill get it fixed what ever it is but any ideas guys?

Change the exhaust! the stock exhaust sounds like crap imo. unless the ones i've heard are all aftermarket.

Its stock exhaust and its loud, i set off the car alarms in my underground twice today.
Like i said before its only making 8lbs of boost, should be making 14lbs. Car warrantied until August 2010 so its covered but somethings defenitly up with it, it also has a noticeable rattle that comes and goes at idle. But like i said its got a bumper to bumper warranty for another year and a half.
Any ideas on what it could be guys? I think it has the piece of crap Mopar BOV on it which leaks like a mother. Could that cause the boost loss? Also i think its riding on Koni yellows havent checked them out yet but from what i could tell. Also run front and back DC strut bars.

Is the rattle due to engine knock? Maybe the dealer put in regular gas and the computer is retarding the boost or something?
As far as exhaust noise, the stock setup runs without mufflers - all it has are resonators. Lots of mod potential with them though!

For the guy who came up with the gas idea, I just filled it right up with 94Oct would that take care of it or does it have a problem cuz of the gas they put in it?
I traded in my 2000 SH Prelude (problem child R.I.P) The thing needs its head rebuilt, its got a huge hit on it. Runs like a bag of crap, i really just wanted out of it before it all fell apart. So i got 6k for the Prelude(i only paid 7) And then with Taxes, Documentation and all ofther fees included i paid 7k for it.

Im taking it into the dealership today so hopefully whatever the issue is with the boost and the rattling is will be taken care of.
