If memory serves it is the direct injected 2.0 turbo motor (LNF or LDK) from chevy mated to some hybrid shit. That motor is very, very strong and capable of making a lot of usable power I say ditch the hybrid power train, slap a ZFR turbo on there and let the little 2.0 make 400 whp and 500 ftlbs and call it a day

Weekday mornings are where its at (I'm talking crack of dawn). Wednsdays are generally the slowest days and cops typically only enforce crossing the double yellow as long as you are not out of control. Living 45 minutes away from it probably helps, taking a cross country road trip to drive it could lead to…

My buddy down here in TN races his gxp in BS and is usually in contention for ftd. They are pretty sweet little rides

Yeah. She may have been much more terrified if he had been driving @ or near the limit

This kid needs to work on his driving a bit (hands on the wheel!!)

Noooooooo

Suspension is one of areas the car is the strongest stock. A rear sway bar is really all that is needed. There is only really one option that is better than stock as far as shocks/springs is concerned and it is the powell YYZ springs and Koni Yellows. Coilovers are relatively ineffective on this car because of the…

Wonder what tires the alfa was on. The cobalt ss was running stock 225/40 18 contis when it lapped and there is certainly MUCH better rubber out there. I'm sure some better tires on the little ss would close the gap. Add in the GM stage 1 (or aftermarket tune if your not worried about the warranty) and I'm willing to…

Yup. Find a yellow one and buy it. there are only something like 11 yellow 4 doors left.

4 door in 2009 on the ss/tc I wish they would quit mentioning the supercharged car. It didnt do the platform justice like the ss/tc did.

Just a whole lot of douchebaggery here. I would still tend to blame the bikers as they slightly out douche the guy in the rover. Of course we don't know what happend leading up to this, but break checking a 5k lb truck is certainly very, very stupid. Hard to tell who was worse, although assault seems excessive.…

Hehe. There is a guy on the forums that runs 3:07s consistantly with a 20 psi tune (super conservative 23 psi is more common) stock suspension and stock width 225/40 18 Nitto NT05s (there are much stickier tires out there and a few people run a 17x9" wide wheel and 255/40 17s) This car is a serious track monster stock…

These are appalling inside in base form. It feels like a fischer price car on the inside.

Read the rest of your comment my bad. Couldn't agree more. Base models (and even the supercharged car) were pretty horrible. It really is no wonder they sold in small numbers. Hell Chevrolet literally spent no money marketing the 2nd gen turbo car and to my memory there was one commercial and a magazine spot for the…

This again... tchtch

NonononononononononoNonoNNONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Very cool

Saw one autocrossed on street tires by a pro level racer @ a scca winter event in colorado. Surprisingly flat handling even on street tires and completely stock it was holding its own.

I'm usually right there with you, but really? Cars have, for better or worse, character oozing from every oriface and despite my generally cynical view on everything else cars bring out the kid in me. I guess I'm one of them too, but ive just never seen someone take that approach. Maybe you work on cars for a living…

I'm Usually with you and am for most of your rant here but really?
