Okaaaaay - not sure which bit you're supporting David on because I have said that the turbo'd GTA's have a taller 4th and 5th.... They are 10mph faster than the GTA Atmo which is identical to the DeLorean/A310 (no real suprise there!). The GTA Atmo's top speed is 145 and the turbo is 155. They're also *slightly* more aerodynamic than our cars :-) Martin M. P.
