My new 2012 Cruze

I was going to buy another cobalt, this time SS/TC, but changed my mind for many reasons. But anyway, I picked up a 2012 crystal red metalic Cruze!!! It is the LT with the RS package. I sacraficed not having leather or a sunroof, but at least it has remote start!!! Kinda suprised it isn't all that slow for only having 138hp! Injen cold air intake is in the mail on the way, and just ordered ZZP's mid pipe and o2 housing. Hoping to be around 200hp with all the mods combined. Getting 35% tints all around next weekend too! Sorry for the shitty picture, my phone sucks!

Picked it up for $23,380 "OTD" with a 5 year extended bumper to bumper warranty. Sticker on car was $21900!!!

I know I won't gain that much, but from what I have heard with the CAI, it tricks the computer into thinking it needs more boost from the ability to suck air faster. Raising the boost gives more hp!!!! Maybe ZZP will chime in and tell us exactly how much hp total it will gain from all 3.

I am liking mine too. I went with the Eco trim. What I live compared to the old Balt, is although I am only at about 4700 miles, I am RATTLE FREE. Also the interior is superb. I do however miss the power that my TC had, but ah well. This works better for me.

Yes! Once I sat in it, I knew I had to get one, lol. It's so nice! And even better once I put the Injen CAI on it! That turbo sounds amazing

Eh, either way 170-200hp is pretty good for the size of the engine. The turbo is tiny too. With an upgrade, should get some serious numbers.
