Spirit R / T – frisky beast: 97 km / h in 5.8 seconds! “The character of the engine, like that of Sugar Ray, is explosive. There’s a little turbo lag at the start, but before you can say, “Hey, where’s the boost?”, the compressor will howl and you’ll be struggling to get the back of your head off the headrest. There is enough traction to humiliate many sports cars. Acceleration to 60 mph is even better than the latest Nissan 300ZX Turbo. So don’t show off when the Spirit R/T stops nearby at a traffic light, unless you’re piloting, say, a Corvette ZR-1 or a cruise missile,” the magazine eloquently described the dynamics.
