dude this thing is pretty quick for what it is
3.1L v6 150hp 180tq
very torquey, acctually when im going like 40 and punch it and it drops a gear the torque steer is kinda scary, almost veers me off the road haha
otherwise its a POS car, its been in a front end wreck that was fixed ****ty (sister) and the body panels arent lined up right, over 70mph the hood rattles bad lol
No mine isn't waterproof, lets water through like a sieve. If its just drizzling then it'll keep the car somewhat dry but any more than that it does nothing.

DO NOT buy a wal mart cover ( "budge" ). especially if the car is going to be outside. i had a walmart special on my rio red 95 and i keep mine under a car port. The inside of the cover is not soft enough for the paint and if a consistant decent amount of wind lasts, it will scratch the pee-wassie out of your paint. you will either have to buff it out or use an abrasive wax/polish, then re-wax 
i just bought a Wolf evolution 4 custom fit cover ( directly from wolf but summit has them ). it is a layered covered and the rep i spoke with at Wolf said it will not scratch my paint. its water resistant but still breathable and blocks UV rays. it will help with the pollen. so far i have not found any scratches but the wind has not gotten very gusty either. only drawback is the $140ish price tag.
i believe i will still take it off the car when expecting strong winds or a storm.

can you hit me up with a link and maybe a closeup pic of the cover?
Thanks everyone
i hate to tell you to spend that kind of money and you not be happy with it. i have only had mine about 3 weeks...no complaints so far tho except for one. even tho the cover is custom fit and it fitted on both ends, i had a gusty day couple of weeks ago and it pulled the off the rear of the car. i got two really long shoe strings and tied them together, tied one end securely on the side of the cover on the bottom ( cover had plastic grommets , one on each side under the door at the very bottom ) and got a short string on the other side and tied it securely then run the string under the car and tied the two together like you would a shoe. hasn't come off again.

just type in your info in. you can go custom fit or universal. i have the custom. i chose the 'evolution'. it lists for $150.99. i talked to joe there and mentioned that summit had them for $135.39. he price matched. reason i ordered from the company was because they give a 4 year warranty. summit may also, but their site just lists 90days.

Ive got a Covercraft Evolution custom fit to the car. It was pretty expensive at around $200 for the cover and the lock shipped, but it was well worth it. I leave the car out all winter, so i wanted protection from the NJ climate. UV rays are also an issue with red paint fading, and this cover has UV protection. Here are some other features...
* Popular All-Weather Fabric
* Dent Protecting 4-Layer Construction
* Water & Dust Resistant
* Strong Polypropylene Fibers
* Insulates Vehicle Against Weather
* Warranty: 4 Years
It fits like a glove and i highly recommend it.
