Nope, not interested. That was the car I figured I'd be buying next. 4000 lbs = not the car for me. Rather have something lighter and quicker.

 

Fat/Heavy 4-Door FTL. Plus Auto? WTF is that, the people want choice at least.

If the new Tibby turns out to be a 4-Banger Turbo w/ RWD. That will be FTW.

If only the Sky wasn't so ******* expensive. The new G6 might be something to look into as well. I would just prefer something that is already F/I.

 

The hypothetical Tibby and the Sky/Solstice are two that I would STRONGLY consider.

I'd love a new STi, preferably a 5 door but hey, I'll take what I can get.

EDIT: I agree on the auto as well. I refuse to drive an auto again. I don't care about how fast it goes in a straight line with an auto, bottom line is it still sucks ***** on a road course. They're just not for me. Although rumor has it there will be a higher performance version and manual will become an available option.

 

The new Tibby has so many rumors flying around it. Ive heard v8 RWD/FWD, TT v6 RWD/AWD/FWD, NA v6 FWD, Turbo I4 AWD/RWD/FWD. I personally would like to see a small TT v6 AWD or RWD in that platform. They will have to keep it affordable if they are still shooting for a younger generation of buyers.

 

I agree alicia, I passed on a pretty good deal on a torrid red gto with 0% apr because it was an auto.

 

I am not going to pay more than 20K though for anything, so that rules out a lot. Such as the Evo X that I want so badly. Unless of course I manage to get a large sum of money.

I am already upside down and not going to go even more. I want to try driving an SRT4 when they hit lots, HHR SS too. But if I even considered an HHR SS, I would either just wait for the Turbo Balt, or just take that down payment money and Turbo mine.

 

Hmm, I thought Hyundai already confirmed to Autoblog that the rear wheel drive coupe in spy shots will be the new tiburon, and most are expecting it to have the 300+hp V8 from the upcoming Hyundai Genesis? I also remember reading in that same news story that some people at Hyundai were referring to the car as the Hyundai Mustang

G8 GT will eventually have a 6-speed manual option, most are saying about 6 months or more after launch. Apparently there is a worldwide shortage on the new T6060 transmission that is replacing the good ol' T56. A tune for 93 octane, and the G8 should be making the same 400hp as other LS2's, but yeah, it's still gonna be heavy. The car is supposed to be much more improved in handling than the last gen Commodore, but I'm waiting for if/when they bring the Ute over for my next vehicle.

The next gen G6 is supposed to shift to rear wheel drive too, but reports say that plan may get axed due to new CAFE standards. It was supposed to be based on the Holden Torana concept platform, which I think could be pretty cool. I apologize in advance if any of that information isn't 100% accurate.

 

Big Heavy V8 just isn't my thing, unless it is a Corvette of course.

Most likely I will just end up keeping the Cobalt till the wheels fall off, which means putting a snail on it. 400whp in an eco-box should be enough for a Daily Driver and 11 second passes. Then give the North track a try.

 

Pwnt, exhaust isn't legal there either.

 

throw a silencer on the end of it

 

Turbo will quiet her up.

 

true

 

Screamer Pipe won't though, lol.

 

i thought it already passed this stage?

 

No wheels have yet to fall off.

 

also true

 

Yes, maybe. But drag racing is starting to get old and boring. When I am done modding the car, it will run what it runs. Then what. I would like to try something beyond simple straight line. Only thing stopping me now is the fact that this blower would take a **** with that pulley, I want the car to be somewhat reliable.

 

Well, looks like the dealer is in agreement that the seats can't be cleaned of the paint... so the next step is the seat coverings getting replaced.

At least the seats won't look like the amount of miles i have on it.

 

hopefully they do a good job putting the new covers on, i have seen horror stories

 

Well, they know how I am @ the dealer, so I don't see them messing up more than once...

 

Hmmmmmm

New STI pics on NASIOC.... Looks alot better than I expected.

To each his own though, since we all have our opinions.

 

Linky? I'm strongly considering that for next car candidacy. I'd really rather have a 5 door though, but hey, and STi is an STi.

 

id like to see some pics as well. the last set I saw made it look better than i thought it was going to.
