If you have a few days of spare time, do a search for 08 Cobalt, or 08 Cobalt Turbo, or Turbo Cobalt and you'll see what I mean.

In all seriousness though, I heard in a couple of yuears that cars are going to be made to get at least 35 mpg or else they won't be made.....is that true? If so....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Damn, there won't be any more fun races....it will be like 100 hp electric cars buzzing around on earth.....the only way to mod them would to add more battery packs to it....and have like solar light injection....nitrous might still work though

the cafe standered is supposed to be rased from like 28 mpg to 35mpg by 2012 and thats the average for every car in the manufactures line up which is bull **** because companys like honda dont have trucks.


check out the electric car called the tesla its a $100,000 car thats built on a lotus frame in silicon valley its supposed to be faster than hell

I read that GM's EV1 had rediculous power; you really had to hold the brake good at a stoplight to keep it from rolling. and it was fully electric!! not a drop of gas. I just can't beleive we have that technology and we're not using it anymore..
