[QUOTE=CobawLT2010;5442316]... more like a lux car... far from it... what type of lux car has cloth on the dash... Im sure someone will chime in on here... but my friends inifinity fx35 does not have cloth... or my other friends porshe cayenne... I'm sure someone will point out a model... so... mercedes does... i guess... (but im sure its better quality)

My car does not have cloth on the dashboard.. everything is a plastic material or leather.
I would put this car in the same class as a Cadillac as far as interior quality goes

I'm also still waiting on an interface from an aftermarket that will allow an aftermarket headunit... (it will most likely happen but I'm curious if they made installation any more difficult... as GM likes to do... integration is great for those who don't give two ***** about a stereo...)
edit: (add) I wasent expecting race car HP's and will say that I thought id do a little worse (at the wheels) on the dyno... but close to my expectations...

As for someone bragging about a Nissan (Infiniti
) interior, you must be kidding. Nissan interiors are complete garbage, everything is in a bad place and its all made from hard plastic. The only decent interior Nissan has is the new 370Z, the rest of them are all cheap garbage.

I've seen the Cruze interior in person, and it far surpasses the Cobalt and any other compact car on the market. Definitely best in class. Anyone who says its not nice has either not actually seen one or is just plain ignorant.

Luxury class... its not...

Ryan has an o2 housing nearly complete for the Cruze.
We took the whole front end apart to take pictures and measurements last Friday. I'll post up some pics when I get them off the cameras.

Here's some pics that i had on my phone-
Underside showing muffler, resonator, and new rear suspension:
Passenger side axle and plastic sway bar end link:
Downpipe:
Apparently the ECM monitors current draw with a clamp over the ground cable:
Fuse box and various battery connections:
Is this a really big quarter?
Plastic intake neck:
Airbox ducting takes a really long path to the turbo:
Air straightener in front of MAF tube on airbox outlet:
Garrett/Honeywell turbo:
Front trans mount is also plastic:

i would hate to see or hear about someone hitting a pothole or speedbump too hard with that thing, all those plastic parts would just shatter... do insurance companies know about that? lol YIKES...

wow vince said the breather and exhaust parts were ridiculously small but i didn't understand how bad till you just posted pics lol
the nice thing about the catback is you can throw a muffler in the tunnel then pretty much cut out alot of the bends after the tunnel

Ryan built a prototype o2 housing for me to dyno test today. Initial results showed only a 2-3whp gain, but the boost had dropped nearly 1.5psi. Since the ECM controls the turbo based on MAF readings, this shows a nice flow gain. I used a boost controller to adjust back to the original level and picked up 8 more hp. I was very pleased with these results to start out.
Here's a couple pics-

There is a cat in the stock o2 housing. Our o2 housing will be available with a spun metal cat or catless.
I cant wait for the incentives to come out so I can get my cruze
