Not quite stock - UAS induction kit and engine pipes - but yes, 98 none the less.

kw's is just a number. Do you think your car is slow? probably not, so don't worry about the number. Upgrading brakes, suspension and your skills as a wheel man can improve you're point to point time more than a few kw's will and it'll probably cost less. If you just want to go fast in a straight line...you've bought the wrong car.

Thought about it. But the look of the FTO is irreplaceable imo unless i spend half a mil. haha

If things doesn't go well next year then i might consider RX-8. Fairly new so hopefully wont have to much probs
