Yes it is a nice little car; very refined. I don't think it is the kind of car people modify but if you're interested make sure you check out Nopi, Stillen, and possibly some of the Sentra sites.

My girlfriend has the '02 G20 Sport (T has been stopped in '02). The car is real nice inside, but is very very very slow. I just want to warn you.

Try really slow. 0-60 in 10 second and 1/4 mile in lower 17s. Beware of automagic Civics.

The motor is the SR20DE which is a sweet powerplant and HKS/Greddy makes a bolton turbo kit, BUT even with the turbo, the 5 speed G20 still only runs lower 15s. That means the turbo auto will be lucky to get upper 15s. The G20 is a very heavy car for it's size (3100lbs).

That only depends on what size turbo and boost is ran. www.se-r.net has several dynos of 400whp turbo'd SR20DE's. Since the car is auto it will be slow but a FMAX turbo kit would definitly pick up the pace. Given a good stall convertor, tranny build + 100 octane or better it can run mid 13s all day long.

The G20s are slow but have excellent handling. Even though they are similar to the Sentra, it outperforms them in handling, ride, and refinement.
