Traded a Metro Straight up for that? Sounds like you got a good deal:cool:

Do you really want that steering wheel???? Car looks pretty sweet, especially for a Metro.

Looks good man. Is it lowered some? Or does it just look low because of the wheels, tires & the grass it's parked in? How many miles are on it? It would be more fun if it was a 5 speed...but you'll still have plenty of fun with the auto of course!

it's lowered..and there is 193,000 km's on it! stock engine

If it's a stock motor then how does it have 300hp????:confused:

Nice car, looks pretty solid.

Before believing what the person said it had for power, take it to the track or on a dyno. That will tell ya for sure. Previous owner of my car said it would run 12's, well needless to say I've upgraded it and had it on a dyno and it doesn't run 12's, only mid 13's with 238 rwhp.

I can tell you don't know much about cars.

A cam (singular), roller rockers, headers, etc isn't gonna add up to 300hp. More like 260ish.

Boring a motor adds a negligable amount of power and to stroke it requires a 800-1000 rotating assembly.

No offense intended, but you might have gotten taken a little.
