Angry News about 08-09 SS Turbo Upgrade Package

I called the Parts Department of the dealership to see If I could get a release date for the Cobalt SS/TC Turbo Upgrade Package. They called GM Performance and they said the projected release date has been moved back to June 2009 due to a problem with calibration.

Same thing occured with that 3 years ago, too. HPT cracked the LSJ pcm within a few weeks of when the stage 1&2 setups came out.

I bet that will resolved with the latest GT when it comes out. I love Prologue so far, but lack of replays online kills it for me as a drifter.

This turned into a videogame (or any other) discussion as soon as we ran out of NEW information about the stage kit. If you have something new to tell about the kit please do so, or post it in any of the other 5+ threads about it

on what platform? 360 sucks for it can barely hear turbs or supers lol.
exhausts are decent but GTAIV has the same quality....
i personally expect more out of a game since that's the main focus of it lol.


if gm was smart they'd release it asap cause they'd be making tons of $$ guranteed.

Do you have a surround sound system with a good subwoofer?
