It could be an SS-I (140HP 3S-FE) since you say it's an import. I've had one of those, Mind you I test drove a 1994 SS-II (Also 3S-GE) and it was just as slow as an SS-I because it was over 180,000 KMS ODOMETER with the exception of another 1,000 RPM, power plateaued. On my same 3S-GE with only 75,000 KMS ODOMETER the power does not plateau it simply lunges forward from 6,000 to 7,000 RPM as though the pedal was suddenly floored further. I'd say a 3S-GE in good condition should be just as fast as other 2 litre NA coupes. Just to make sure why don't you grab the model number (On the aluminum plate on the firewall, looks like E-ST20X-XXXXX) and take a photo of your engine.
