It's not the heat. You just beat the **** out of your car and call it bad quality on the manufacturer part.

I know you never said anything about bad quality. That is just how a majority of the people on this website respond when there vechile is either broken down or falling apart.

I say get the G8 gt....I love those things.

Used to have a camaro (2000 model) and personally think the new ones are over rated.

Lexus is nice.

I associate the Infinitis with the douche bags that drive them so I say no lol

Never been a huge bmw fan.

im not really into imports.I'm more of a v8 person. i do like the evo and 350/370 z. sti is alright.
And the reason i have my cobalt is because my dad bought me the car when i was 16. i wanted a older camaro.1995-2002 model. z28 or the ss. but he said i cant get a sports car so i found my ss and settled.

ya my dream car would be a 2002 camaro ss. best year IMO
the newer camaro ss are nice but they are huge!
If you know how to drive one they should run 13s stock.
Thats what i want, a car i can buy and keep stock and still run those times.

Yea...and it has a little more done to it.

Headers, full catless exhaust, CAI, quite a bit of suspension stuff.

It had nitrous when he first got it but had to take it out to get some warranty work done on it.

The newer model one I believe has headers on the way.
