Any performance potential here?  Cheap enough anyway.

It's mostly the same car as a Probe, right?  See this:

These guys are really damn fast for running junk, a good part of that is the drivers of course.

Same as a Probe, but it's a first-gen, somewhat different from the second-gen. I'm not sure if this one's a turbo model or not from looking at it. Leaning towards no.

Not a turbo

The n/a cars came with something like 8.7:1 compression. There's been a few turbo builds using that short block. Factory turbo is not really that great anyway. 

The issue I have with these cars is that the transmission is lacking in beef. Also torque steer and weak aftermarket support.
