what you want to do is go to cars.com. List your car for sale. On the same website look up 2011+ mustang GTs. Buy a 2011+ mustang GT. Buy an intake and exhaust. Tune the car. bam you now have 400 whp.

I think building a 4cyl would be more fun and rewarding than just doing boltons on a v8

idk about more fun, but it's something different. There are thousands of built mustangs, but not a lot of cobalts.

Don't forget the additional ~700lbs the Mustang has to move.
And I'm not even talking about the fact you look like a douchebag in a Mustang lol

well I just was answering the question

I wouldnt get a mustang. Need the doors myself for the baby. I dont like anything Chevy is shoveling down my throat right now. No malibu.. No Cruze... I hate everything they have thats affordable.

I would consider getting the New 2017 Fusion Sport or if its around the same price the Focus RS. Anyone see the new Fusion Sport? 2.7 v6 tt. 325 hp 350 trq. AWD.

I'm not a big fan of any sedans Chevy is offering right now. I like the SS but I still think it's an overpriced g8. I saw that fusion, but honestly I'd take the RS over the Fusion sport. At the end of the day it's a 270ish whp 3700lb sedan. Meh.

Id probably take the fusion over the RS mainly due to getting some more room in the vehicle after have a kid for a year. Cobalts do not make great family cars, even with 4 doors lol.

It'll still be a zippy car. but it comes down to the pricing. RS has alot of cool tech, I know nothing about the new fusion sport other than its the F-150 ecoboost motor. im certain you can make some more power out of it maybe not as well as the BMW 335s rated at 330hp and tuned 335s putting down numbers near 390-400 whp. They are RWD tho.. no idea on how good the AWD system is on the Fusion.

If the Fusion is cheaper, Id take the Fusion. If the RS is the same price or cheaper, Id take the RS. Id have to test drive the **** out of both of them lmao.

I have a black 4door. For xmas santa brought me a catless 3"dp. I have HPT also.
Was going to have Term2 tune it in spring for 93. I will probably end up where you are starting right now... Wondering if you ever ran a 1/4mi track. If so what was your mph? Thanks. I'm hoping the dp and tune will let me do about equal to a stock 5.bro. Thoughts?

I pulled a 5.0 pretty bad with my k04r i would say the fully bolted balt did better but with only a tune and dp that might be a bit tough

I haven't ran the quarter since it was stock. I did race a 5.0 that was bone stock 6sp manual from 50-130 in Mexico. I had 3" catless downpipe, k&n intake, 3" exhaust, and tuned on 24psi. The furthest away I got was about a car length. When I hit 130 he was on my quarter panel and would have passed me if he didn't let off.

Ya. First race not on film we did a 40mph roll he got me by a car or so on the hit then I started gaining he shifted and I was gone I didn't know but I was in 3rd he was in 2nd.

Last summer i was on way better tires and had 50 more hp to the wheels than he did at the crank
