Sick burn.


I'm done, another ruined thread.
Oh, I have a lot of burns, but I'm not free to use them on here. Go back to your trailer already!

mildly tuned GXP is good for about 260 rwhp and weighs more....modded out, I'm sure they rock, the chassis is pretty solid...stock they are unimpressive
I hear the Turbo Ecotec's respond well to mods, but I'm not sure about the Kappa platform. I give them respect for what they are, but I'll never own one. I find them hideous. Maybe the coupe version will win me over.

Will you just shut up already, white trash? Go have sex with your cousin or sister and stop following me around on here like a dick-hungry whore.

I think what's been over looked in this thread is Rhys Millens driving. He probably could have one in a FWD car. Congrats to him.

forgive me for my lack of knowledge but does the solstice share an engine with the cobalt?

i noticed you said mildly and im not sure this is your view of mild but its just a turbo right? Nothing to major? and thats alot more than your estimated out come..

Dont get me wrong i prefer a Japanese car but i can respect the performance of an American car i mean look at the zr1 or even the z06..

that's a heavily modded car with an aftermarket single turbo running 22 psi...you don't just put that together on a Friday night

the engine is reportedly capable of 400 hp, but there weren't many people anywhere near that number when I was on Sky forums (yes, I was seriously considering a Sky RL at one time)
