Love the paint, and the article points out that they use the 2.0 for the engine.

That wing is Horrid....

I agree, I was just about to edit my post saying that, but I figured I'd just quote instead.

Translation: CC08 is working on his own riced out version of this paint job...coming soon to multiple posts near you...

uncalled for

It would be fun to have a paint scheme that matches that car.

The one confirmed engine for the American version of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is a new 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The company predicts 140 horsepower and fuel economy as high as 45 mpg, presumably on the highway. By contrast, the 2009 Cobalt's base 2.2-liter non-turbo four produces 155 horses and is EPA-rated at 25/37 mpg city/highway in new gas-miser XFE trim. In Europe at least, transmissions will comprise a 5-speed manual and an optional 6-speed automatic versus Cobalt's 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic. Gearing will be chosen with an eye to maximizing fuel economy without compromising low-rpm performance. At some point, Chevrolet might add a sporty Cruze akin to the current Cobalt SS, perhaps with the same 260-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder. The decision will hinge on buyer sentiment and how much higher gas prices go in the next couple of years.

car looks pretty good... and on the wing note.. appearance means dick all when its a race car.. that wing has probably been through some serious testing

jr racing
10-14-2008, 01:21 PM
agreed the wing means nothing as it's all about performance not looks. it is fwd here is the old version of the car. they raced it for the past 3 years i think.

now sure what you mean? independent throttle body setup?

Direct Injected, like the LNF in my 09 ss/tc.......wat i'm getting at is, could they do a street 250bhp n/a 2.0L? Stage kits would be turbo upgrades going from 350bhp-550bhp? I can dream rite?

The 2dr will come.... It just may not launch the same time the sedan does, it may come out a 1 MY or 2 later...

Pretty good thing to see that they are already showcasing the performance capabilities of the Cruze... That's what we want to see and know that GM isn't skipping out on that part...

it's a race car they need it to allow for the wide wheels along with the lowering of the car allowing for a better center of gravity
