no they not they 1.6 170ish bhp n/a FWD. like a type-r, but a mitzi.

Colts can quite easily be given Evo power due to sharing a lot of parts, but ALL modern Colts are n/a and FWD.

A pal of mine had one of these, just the standard car. He worked in a rally prep shop-he was constantly getting offered evo running gear/engines because apparently all the bolting holts are similar.
he never did do it-chicken!

id guess its because its not a sleeper in the slightest. sleeper is something standard and unassuming looking that you wouldnt expect to pack a punch. not something with so many add ons that it gives the game away.
