I used to onw a 94 Probe GT, and that car, in 3rd or 4th, was very quick
from 50-90, my seat of the pants tells me the talon is faster, but only if
I pick the right gear - it feels better in a tall gear (like 4th) where I
can build to peak boost and hold it for a while, than 3rd, where it has
revved past what feels like the power/torque peaks.
Tough to say, the probe did feel stiffer and harsher though, my car on
stock shocks is almost cushy.
