My SS/TC Sedan and my other cars.

Here are some pics from the past couple of weekends (and last year).

2009 Cobalt SS




2004 Dodge SRT4




1998.5 Ford Contour SVT (pics from last fall)




All three with their car covers.

Thanks and Thanks. The engine has stock internals, but it has a 50 trim turbo kit, with all the supporting mods. It's in the 400hp range.

Here's a couple pics of its engine bay.

Geezus. The 3 are awesome. That srt and contour are the best looking ones I've ever seen. Wow. Amazing taste in cars and modifications. You take good care of them too. Nice to see cars that look this good once in a while. After seeing so much stupid **** done to cars. Clean clean clean. I'm diggin' it.

I get mixed reviews about the spoiler, but I still think it's better than the stock one. Heck, look at my SRT4 spoiler, it's huge in comparison (but stock size to the SRT4).

Heh, thanks to hailcaesar75's influence, that won't be that way for too much longer. I have a rear lip and bumper cover, just have to do the mod, get them painted up, and the Sedan rear will be complete.

I really appreciate the comments. I've been the type to be not too over the top, even though one might say different about the SRT4 and all of the carbon fibre.

The SS is the newest to the stable, so give me time, I'll be doing more mods with it too.

Thanks.

PS: If anyone wants to know more about my cars, there are links in my signature to web pages showing the history of my ownership of each one.

Is that GM's unique design spoiler for the Sedans? I've see that in the accessories catelog, just unsure what it looks like. I wish for a lip spoiler more like the M3's, had one on my audi and that was nice looking.

Thanks Mike. Sure, you guys should stop by when you get a chance. I'll have to put the insurance back on the other two cars before I can take them out on the road.

Thank you.

With no two SRT4's being equal, I've seen them from the 250's to 280's to the wheels, but, the torque increases substantially faster than the hp, hence, why the SRT4's are pretty quick quarter mile cars.

It's very difficult.

alright cool. cause theres this blue one around town and i was talking with the guy. and right now its just stage2, but hes getting an intercooler soon and said it would surely put him over 300whp. but he's never been on the dyno to see where he's at right now. so i was just seeing if hes one of those "well thats the advertised increase!!" kinda guys or he actually does have a shot at over 300whp. but still, even if he's one of those 280whp cars i don't think just an intercooler would put him over would it?

What I have seen is that yes, if the intercooler flows better than what he has, definitely he will see a gain, how much though, that's questionable. Of course, the big advantage to a better cooler is more consistent HP, and less or no intercooler heat soak.

I found myself never getting into HP speculating. We all know that there are talkers out there, many you just can't believe since all they quote are "advertised" gains. I remember the days when an intake kit on a small engine was advertised to increase a 120hp engine by 10 to 15%. Try 3 to 5 real life HP.

A lot of people I know want to know how much power my SRT4 has. I don't have any exact numbers, but those who have seen my car out on the road, know it's plenty fast.
