I was looking around at speedoptions.com and their feature car was this Suzuki Swift. First off, i have always related the Swift to the Geo Metro, but there is no comparing this car! here are some pictures of it:





It doesn't say how much horse power it has but the stock 1.3L DOHC engine produces 115hp. That is a shitload for only 1.3L For more information about the GTI got to www.SSGTI.com they have a good amount of info, and a stage I & II turbo kit for it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

The Metro was based on the Swift, but it was the absolute cheapest, crappiest version of the Swift.

The SSGTi gets my respect... it's not a bad little car, all things considered. It weighs next to nothing and that 1.3 can really scream. The car weighs about 1800lb in stock form.

BTW - the pics don't work and this should probably be in 'off topic' but whatever. SSGTi - <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Edit: here's a pic of a '90 Swift GT - they dropped the 'i', but it's the same car:

I'll give suzuki respect. They make good stuff... The samurai is a hell of an offroader, and i'm sure that swift isn't bad either. Sweet looking engine bay too.

Swifts kick arse! &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Riding though the mountains in PA one day, my friend in his Civic couldn't figure out why the Swift was reeling him in on the uphills <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;I politely informed him that in it's aparently modified form, it was probably putting out 50% more hp and at least as much more torque... oh yeah, and it probably weighs sub-2000 lbs. &nbsp;

One of those or a Omni GLHs - ultimate sleeper!

Can you give me a little morte information about this Omni?

Sorry about the wrong forum thing...I have learned my lesson!

I have had my 90 240sx for about six months, and it has given me hell for all 6 months. &nbsp;I am seriously concidering sellimg my S13 and getting a Swift...I should be able to do a clean swap if not have a little money left over to do a complete tune-up after purchase. &nbsp;
I am kind of hesitant b/c it doesn't have RWD, but it will handle like a go-Kart, with the right suspension. &nbsp;I have my eye set on either the 1.3L-->1.6L &nbsp;conversion or the Stage II turbo for the 1.3L. &nbsp;With 200+whp you should still be able to get 25-30mpg in that car as well <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
