The show is called "Car and Driver Television"
There really wasn't much substance or specific focus on the coupe. The most complimentary comment to any car came from the editor Frank Marcus I think. On the first day of the street driving, he siad the coupe was really his favorite out of all the cars.

Guys, there's plenty of HP to be had from either motor...but youre going to have to work a little harder than ricer-esque bolt ons, or get used to estimating your HP in 'tuner ponies'....300 should be easy on that scale...
Go gorilla...look for things that improve breathing performance- a larger throttle body, port match the exhaust and intake(might not be needed on intake with the nylon 99 intake..) manifolds, more boost(the pulleys have NOT maxed out the M45), true cold air intakes(not the ricer CAI which draw hot air from the engine compartment), a little head work....hell, there's lots more ideas...this is how it starts, people WILLING to take a chance and do something to the engine...not the folks who sit on the sidelines and whine about the warranty implications.
