You don't want one. They're awful. I test drove the first one the dealer got about a month ago. Its still sitting on the lot to this day. They can't give it away.

Thing has zero power, doesn't break 100hp until 3800rpm. The seats are tight as hell. Anyone bigger then a 36in waist (me) would be pinched by them. The interior materials scream 1980s GM and the layout screams SN95 Mustang. And everybody claims its so much fun to drive; I didn't think so. Its tail happy, not fun. The lack of power kills any fun it might have been.

Torque is in Kg/M. 1 kilogram / meter = 0.671968975 pounds / foot. So 179.7 kg/m equals 120.752 rwft/lbs

Its pretty close to 5250. I don't know how Kg/m works, maybe they cross a little higher? They also have the decimal (comma?) in the wrong spot on the torque. Dunno. Its Korean, they're a little messed up all the tme. :D
