Would the Australian version be called a Mega-Drive?

oh thinking about it, i would rather have my civic than this car.

most manufacturers now offer "track spec" packages on the sportier models. but unfortuanately, a non-effective strut brace, some brembos with road pads and enormous wheels treated to chinese rubber does not make a track car.

to me the way i see it is:

new car weight/safety = FAIL
new car suspension = FAIL
new car brake systems = FAIL
new car engineering = FAIL

however saying all that, if left COMPLETELY STANDARD, this would be a super coupe. especially with the 3.8 v6. (i think an alloy block 4 cylinder will never have the nuts to compete)

also, whats with 4b11 having a redline similiar to old evo's yet they have longer stroke?
