As I mentioned earlier, I have been shopping for a new Cruze. Last week I found one that I liked and made an offer. They decided to accept the offer a couple days later and we put the deal together. Tim drove down to Ohio today to pick it up. Here's a pic back at the shop:



I will get it on the dyno in the next day or two and see what it's got! Oh, wait... It's not going to make much power... yet.

 

yay.

 

I see 18's and no fogs?
lol
It's so wierd, you yanks get different option packages than us up here........
Is it an LTZ? maybe thats why.....

To get the 18's here we need the RS package, which adds fogs, can't wait to see what you guys can do.

 

very nice. watching...

 

Fu**ing ey bro. Habe fun with it. I see a lnf swap coming lMao.

 

Very nice

I'm sure you guys will have that thing making some good power very soon

 

boooo. all u should care about is cobalts. boooo

 

True does this mean cobalts are taking the back burner for this purchase

 

No. 10 second LNF Cobalt next year.

 

Sub'd

 

Okay I was just checking

 

hell yes keep us posted see if you can work a deal with trafecta to codevelop the platform

 

do i smell a turbo swap???

 

idk man it would be more interesting if it had a bigger engine than our already tiny engines and in 2 door

 

gotta make do with wat it has. chevy had noooooo intentions on makin it a fast car anyways lol. i wonder wat the aftermarket world is gonna look like for it in a couple of years...but if trifecta and zzp or gettin their hands on it, they might grow bigger depending on demand

 

its still a cruze....... yeah it'll be cool to see zzp do some funky **** with it but apart from that i see nothing about that car that gives me the same omg its got serious potential and even stock is fast like my SS/TC but thats just me. if zzp can do something with it then more power to ya its jus not my cup of tea

 

thats cause chevy didnt design it to be fast, the designed it to a economical car. chevy already made a fast 4 door...the 4 door ss/tc. they just wanted to do something different...it woulda been cool to make a cruze ss with the lnf platform, i wont lie, but it is just is wat it is

 

Well I could see 3-350whp with enough time and money.

Better be in the 12s by 2012

Good luck

 

well yeah your right 3-350 but thats gonna be like a lsj task. gonna take entirely too much to get there is all i mean. i just wish GM kept at the domestic tuner cars a bit longer

 

maybe gm will surprise. only time will tell

 

Well they got 400whp on 2.0L pretty easily. I was just going by proportions. 1.4L would be like 280whp with the same numbers.

Questions is what will the internals hold.

 

They claim that the internals will hold a lot of power. The iron block should be strong as well.

 

its still an ecotec just even smaller. what does the cruze weigh

 

matt, this is a little off topic, but would you happen to have any vids of the 75 vette runnin in your sig? my friend down the street got a 75 vette and i wanted to show him what they can do. thanks

 

Cruze weighs like 3100-3200 curb
