Depends on the years. The 1991-1996 or so were rated at 300hp. They ran high 13's with an excellent driver. Then they received a little upgrade that put them at 320hp. They are capable of a mid 13 pass in bone stock form. With a little more boost they can be real monsters. DSM's, especially when modded are not to be taken lightly.
As far as launching like **** , a lot of people bog them off the line. Even with a lot of power, their turbos don't appear to spool fast enough, so if you don't really know what you're doing you'll launch W/O boost. If the guy is good, he'll be launching with serious boost, 2.0? more like 1.6. They will take off out of the hole like an AWD Talon, only they'll be a hell of a lot harder to make ground up on.
