Cuz theres only 2 types of trucks i like....the orignal humvee and SRT10's cuz of the engine in it...if i had the money i would buy a Viper...but i cant fork out $80,000 right now plus that isnt practical...i need a truck to haul around my gear and bike and something good for the winter. SRT10 also has the power to race so ill be taking it to castrol ..thing pulls like a raped ape.

Cant be that hard to laugh a automatic..lol. If the quad cab came in manual i would have gotten that but it doesnt and i like the looks of the quad cab. Its just the damn torque management that sucks on it..gonna have to get the beast tuned right away to take that off.

I talked to the dealership today, they are giving alot of bs. Trying to claim the bank has a issue with me trading in the 370z since i only owned it for 7 months. So he started talking about new prices...would have lowerd my biweekly payments but the interest would have been higher which means i would have been paying close to the same amount as i am for the car. But if the bank has a issue with me trading the car in, wtf does changing the prices on things have any thing to do with it. So i said i would get someone to take the finance contract over and ill just get a new loan for $29k to buy the truck. He said i cant do that and gave me more bs. So i said fine ill just keep my car and twin turbo it next year.

Order it online. Dealership might be able to get it for you but would probably be expensive.

welp, i am sad to report, i no longer own a cobalt. as originally designed, i depreciated the double payment lease, so the buyout would be very very low. my 17 year old daughter is now the proud owner of a fully tricked out 2006 s/c cobalt with 20,110 kms on the ticker. detuning wasnt an option, as it will also kil mileage, so for the street, i limited rpms to 5k (so nitrous wont enable), and top speed limit of 133 kph fuel cut. cut in at 130. if she wishes to drag it, i will happily crank it back up.
she has expressed the possible wish to go back to stock stage 2 with corsa, so i may be putting a full mod list for sale to one local buyer who wants to see a 12 second pass. solid mounts, axles, n2o, meth, intake, header, DP, slicks, guages, pulley, injectors, etc.
for those douchetards who will say the kid cant handle it, she is not scared to drive a car, but can handle the power well. her last car she drove ayear without an accident, she serviced it herself on my hoist, and had saved the cash to buy my car's lease. as she has just had right should surgury, she cannot currently shift, so shes piloting my 600 hp camaro. her BF is jealous, lmao.

maybe none, maybe all of em. depends on what she wants, she is already tired of ppl trying to street race her. she may not even put the carbon parts back on. but one thing i am sure of, i wont be selling a piece at a time. itll be a bulk batch-- nothing will be shipped, or it will sit in my parts room for a future car.

I have to ask, why did you limit the fuel to 133km/h? I realize under "normal" driving circumstances you would only need that much, but what if she were on a 2 lane highway, tried to pass a semi and cut it close, needing the extra power to make the pass? I haven't done this myself, but I've personally seen instances where a stupid pass has caused people to need to go over 150km/h an hour to not be hit head on...

Just sayin...

Stay behind the semi. Why would you need to pass?

Just sayin, some people do try to pass and cut it too close. If that were me, I'd like to have the option to go faster than 130 rather than slam on the brakes to get behind again...
