Opinions anyone

My cars a 07' and alot of guys have 05's are upgrading/ and I originally wanted to boost this car with a turbo/ then decided i might just do bolt ons but eitherway funds havent allowed me to do anything yet lol sadly right now it looks like another 2 years intill ill be doing anything to the car. What I am wondering is do you guys think throwing a turbo on this car in two years will be worth it(if I do that I will for sure keep the ride and keep working on it) or do you guys think in two years I might as well just sell it and get a new ride???? just guaging ideas so I know what kinda of saving ill be doing

I'll put it this way: It couldn't hurt to wait the two years before spending money on it. If after those two years you still want the car, you'll have the cash to go all out on it. And if by then you want a different car, you wouldn't have wasted the money on it piecemeal.

well I have mixed feelings. If im keeping it I would always have this need to want to make it faster inside of me(and I Love the car the way it is anyways) but If the car wasnt going to last much longer after the 2 years it wouldnt be worth putting the money in so I would rather use it to get a newer fast ride/ But if people think if in two years the car would still have plenty of life I would probally throw some sort of boost into it and drive it around buy a new car and keep the balt as a hobbie/night on the town car. Really what I was trying to ask I guess is this car going to be worth putting money into after 2 years/ Whats average life of our cars kinda thing

as far as i know, none of them have died lol the oldest model is the 05 so only time will tell. they'll be 4-5 years old though when you have to choose weather to mod or not so we'll know more then. The ecotec is a rock solid engine though and should last a long time
