Swift, how inappropriate
If you are thinking of the little 3-cyl Swift, then you are quite correct. The Swift GT however, was a very different bird. It has a 1300cc twincam with a redline that is near Honda S2000 territory. Motor Trend tricked up one a few years back that sliced through the cones quicker than a Vette. If you watch racing from Australia, they race Swifts down there (called Cultus) and the little suckers are nippin' at the heals of Porsches and BMW's with much more horsepower. On our tight mountain roads, if I hold it about 3500 rpm or above, which is where the engine really comes alive in 3rd gear, the little sucker can fly! Even car nuts many times had no idea about the GT. By the way, the first model was labeled GTi, but Volkswagen had a hissy fit and Suzuki dropped it.
I will post a cool website for the Gt and post it here in a little bit....  Don
