You guys should check out the Saturn sky there. Pretty cool project. Let's just say it's not running an lnf.. But it is turbo...
There's also a brand new camaro ss convertable. Not my cup of tea but I've never seen one yet (not sure there on lots officially)

Well after working some numbers. It will be financaly in my favor if i keep my car for a few more years.

With that said. I will still be demodding a few things. Probably looking for a set of used coil overs cheap. meaning i may have a set of ss/tc struts up for someone.

If you local folks need any of my parts let me know. Id rather sell local then USA.

Thanks Andy. I can stop by whenever, i need to get a qoute for it soon. So it does not look ghetto this summer.

When you owe way more than you're car is worth then yes i would agree keeping it for a few more years is a good idea lol. But thats good to hear! By demodding do you mean just cosmetic stuff? Still keeping the go fast parts in it?

No. I will probably sell the winter tires i have now and park it next winter. It did not enjoy being on the road this winter. Id rather drive a beater for 500 bucks then my car.

And Dustin. Mostly performance modifcations. I am done with racing. I'd say i have grown up out of that phase. I might par-take in a few autox events, but i do not want to invest a ton of money in parts again, Sucks since E85 advancements for the LNF are very promising (along side with cams being acsessable i could hit 400 whp on stock turbo).

More money you invest in performance parts more stuff that breaks. Vicious cycle i would prefer to stay away from.

I hear ya. Then you would be sailing in the same boat as Kevin lol. I'm happy staying under 300whp with my DD. It still fun to drive and you arent going to be breaking stuff all the time.

Yeah thats where i'd like to stay. Around the 330 whp mark that i am at. Even less. I am going to work on my suspension this year if i get extra funds.

Ordered Moog swaybar end links today. I'd recommend picking them up for anyone with a higher mileage cobalt (mines low mileage i just feel the need to pick these up now, since my are clunking)
