I loved myss/tc but it was still FWD and launches at the strip would frustrate me. Tracking its a damn good car. Second fastest FWD on the Nurburgring.

I'm never gonna get my money back, thats not why we buy these things. I have thought about parting it out. But I don't really want the headache of my car parts in my garage. I just want the cobalt because its newer with less miles. I drove my buddies and it felt good. the torque is nowhere near the same, but I still like the smoothness of the cobalt. Its gonna be a sad transition, but ill get used to it and hopefully I can make the cobalt as unique as my srt.

Surprised to see you're selling it and moving on to something else. Clean car and some nice modifications.

Does someone have a link to info such as starting location/time and route? Didn't see another thread for it here in the South Pacific section.

Long day but looks like I'll make the meet /cruise. I was working on my car late into the night and thought I had the wrong front brake pads but it turned out it was the rears were the wrong part number. I did get the new rotors and pads installed up front as well as installing the aftermarket downpipe but didn't get to the intercooler. Just need to wake up in a few hours and get it cleaned up. Or maybe say screw it and just drive the Achieva.

Term2 did some more tuning in a course of 3 flashes to see what the stock turbo could put out. This is it, new BNR GT28 going in soon.
