I had an 06 SS/SC and it was horrible with making a u-turn anywhere. They may have changed it in 07 but not sure. I don't know anything for fact, it is seem if the radius is changed to allow for more movement.

Nope, it didn't change in '07... It still sucked a shitty ass crack.
That's good though if you are noticing a change in the newer models

The thing is, I want something that comes off the lot the way I want it. I auto-x and road race, there are too many rules and restrictions (more auto-x but still) on what can and can't be done and what class you go into...I need a car that comes ready to perform right from the factory.

Are you wanting something like what dodge did with the acr?

ACR. Maybe if it wasn't poop. The Cobalt was a very stout car from the factory. Head and shoulders above the SRT-4 and even has an edge on the ACR package.More like this

I know, it was a figure of speech with the 'slap a turbo on a car' thing. The LNF is a great engine that has proved itself over and over. I dunno if steering was upgraded, I think they're the same. Suspension slighty and brakes definitely.
I do love my sc, but it get increasingly hard with the numerous people telling me my car is **** because it doesn't have a snail on it, and the people who are supposed to be part of the same community as me, are constantly telling me that my car is incredibly inferior to theirs, which is not true. it gets hard, but whatever, I was just stating what I believe to be true. I feel that are way more of those people who I listed here now then there have ever been here.

You know, I just read this thread.. I have to say, it's nice to see members of a community getting in contact with people who work in the auto industry.
The only way you're gonna sell more is.. well.. to offer what people want!

What do you want/what do you want removed that you think would make you more competitive in the current class?

GM doesnt need to sell more......they just need to have less overhead and for people to start buying cars again.
Everybody is soooo quick to jump on the Unions back......Those unions and GMs willingness to pay the excellent wages that they did for 50+plus years are one of the biggest reasons this country has a working middle class.
But yes, its union worker legacy costs that are sucking a large portion of every dollar GM earns

Think of it this way......Unions are the SS/SC.......its time for change, its time for the SS/TC (no union) lol
The stage kits should be fantastic for the SS/TC. You guys should be glad there are factory supported mods. It really is a great BONUS.
The Cruze looks decent. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.
