I bit the bullet a bit early but I think it was worth it. I traded up my black 2.4 5spd for an Orange 2.0 w/g85. All I can say is huge difference. I honestly didn't think there would be huge, but it was. I just regret I didn't do this the first time around.

The car all around pulls a lot better than the 2.4
The 5th on this thing pulls more than 4th did on my old
Steering seems to be tighter but suspension seems better around corners, could be my imagination

That is pretty much all I can say for now until I really get into it

Here are some night pics, I will get better shots tomorrow during Day:

 

well you do have the g85, that explains the handling and taking the corners

 

Lookin good

 

If I got an ss I would only get one with the g85 Congrats!!!

 

so those marks on the road are from you breaking it in right!

nice car, wise choice to switch

 

No those were already there, lol.

 

nice, I'd probably get that color to if I decided to sell out

 

G85 doesn't have any effect on how the suspension handles. It just helps you get tracation...basically when it comes to turning, all it does is allow you to accelerate out of a corner without wheel spin. Handling through the corners is the same on all 2.0s because we've got an upgraded suspension.

 

congrats!!!

 

traitor! lol jk man nice color i love it..:

 

I didnt see him talk about suspension there. But your right, its only good for maintaining traction on corners.

 

He said big difference around turns. I guess that's where she got that from.

Turns = Handling

Handling = Suspension

Looking good man, I love the orange. Just sick! You made a good choice!

 

Congrats dude!!!!!!!!!...Now get some mods!!!! Me and alleykat are now the "underdogs" with our open diffs...o well...that 2.5" and 60lb injectors should be here tomorrow!!!

Dan

P.S. I just found out school ends early Ill be back like June 18th!

 

how much did u have to eat on that deal to trade early?>

 

Lol, I was upside down 3K. But like Dan once told me, Student Loans own.

 

lol, so if you dont mind me asking, how much are your payments and for how long and the total price of the car with tax? Im thinking about eating the bullet myself, i crashed my first ss/sc, well actually someone hit me and got stcuk with a 2.2 and thinking of trading again

 

I dont got the papers on me ATM, but I am Financed for 21K out the door. Includes all taxes, my trade in, down payment, etc. I am paying 320/month for 48 month smart buy. That includes an extra 5 year/ 60k mile bumper to bumper warranty as well as powertain.

 

thats not too bad then. i thought they would have raped you for more money but thats less then most people are paying.

 

nice trade up!

 

Congrats! Good trade! Enjoy the big difference in power!

 

good upgrade man!!! nice car. I love the orange!!!

 

Nice Wes...guess who is talking to his dealer about a similar deal....---->

Dan
