Vehicle Specs

|---|---|---|
| Speed | 8.5 | Twin-turbo V8 pulls hard past 320 km/h |
| Handling | 8.8 | No driver aids — pure mechanical grip and courage |
| Acceleration | 8.5 | Turbo lag then fury — old-school boost delivery |
| Launch | 7.5 | No launch control in 1989 — clutch management required |
| Braking | 7.8 | Good for its era, but no ABS means lock-up risk |
| Off-Road | 2.0 | A track-focused icon on gravel? Never. |
| PI (Stock) | 890 | Very high S1, competitive out of the box |
