Well boys... I just couldn't resist it.

She's red, supercharged, 5-speed and has 34 miles.

There's a few scratches that the dealer is gonna get out for me... then she's all mine.

Sadly, no G85... but... ya' can't have 'em all I suppose.

I must say, I have enjoyed the 2.4... and will definately be keeping an eye on all you guys as you get the HP tuners and FI working for the VVT Ecotec.

I'm gonna sit stock on my new SS/SC for a little while... since she's my first manual transmission car. I'll be saving for Stage 2 though, so watch out!

 

did you trade it with your parts on it, or did you keep those/

edit: if you don't mind me asking. what was the price before taxes?

 

Parts stayed on the car... dealer gave me an extra $1000 on the trade for the work I'd done.

Kinda sucks to have to get the maifold and exhaust all over again... but I'll get there when I get there.

 

congrats on your upgrade Sticks are sooooo fun too drive.

 

congrats

 

congrats?! You'll be regretting it soon... with the money you lost in the trade you could have bought a SC and had vector or westers tune it for you...

 

makes me just wanna go trade mine in..but if this keeps up we wont have any more 2.4 members.

 

damn I am disapointed

 

SELL OUT j/k good luck

 

good luck with the s/c. Seems like everyone is gettin rid of the 2.4 for the s/c.

 

Congratulations bro. You are going to love it. Not to mention, wait till you mod it!

 

TRAITOR!!!!

LOL. Just kidding. Hope you have fun with the new one. Put some pics up when you get them.

 

we still love you...

 

i just pm'ed him about some info from his trade...if its legit...i might be the next traitor on the list

 

Thanks for all the replies guys!

I just got 'er home... so lemme upload some pics.

I definately got respect for that transmission... it's a little harder than I expected. But I'm gonna beat around in my girl's Isuzu while I learn how to drive a manual. She can drive the "Chili Pepper" for a week or so. I know she won't abuse it.

 

Chili Pepper.... nice name! Congrats and you won't regret it!

 

Man Card Revoked !

 

Now you have to change your username: RedRocket

 

lol, that's funny. Some girls at my work dubbed my car "the red cherry rocket"

 

first you trade your 2.4, then you let your girl drive the ss/sc?!
your going downhill quick, man! grab your testies and repeat after me, "these are not just marbles in my pocket".

so with the new car, does this mean a nick change?

 

congrats man, do you feel the difference in power yet, or you really havent punched it yet due to lack of knowlodge with the stick. i drove a 2.4 once and I swear that thing would not move.

 

I have the S/C fever also lol I'll be trading mine in in about a month or two maybe 3 lol.

 

I had the chance to tach her up for just a second when I was getting on the interstate yesterday.

Was stuck behind some slow ass work truck... doing like 50 down the on ramp. I saw traffic coming up rapidly on the interstate, so I held it in 3rd and gave the gas a little push.

All I can say is wow... I was doin 80 by the time I passed the truck. The 2.4 was definately not that fast.

 

why didn't you get the g85?

 

For the 0% you had to take what the dealer had in stock. None of the SS/SCs in the area have G85... plus it's cheaper without it anyways.
