The New Camaro... Slightly faster than a Cobalt.
Drew Dowdell replied to -Camaro-'s topic in Chevrolet
Keep in mind that the Cobalt SS is the fasted FWD car on the Ring ever. It tied the GT-R, M3 E46, and beat cars like the S2000 and Audi S5. Not bad company to be keeping, just saying... Edit: The Cobalt SS is no longer the FWD champ of the ring. On June 23, 2008, this ugly critter beat the Cobalt SS's time by 6 seconds..... but it's French so it really doesn't count. They were probably running from a German car. -
My original desire to go to Europe because it sounded like a fun and interesting thing to do is turning into a move of financial asylum.

How about a national requirement to meet Euro bin 5 by 2010 and then work with Europe to develop a unified standard and CARB can lump it if they don't like it. Simultaneously, national standards for gasoline and diesel formulation. My guess is there is no chance of that happening till after January 20, 2009.

When I'm not working on an apartment, this is my usual Sunday afternoon brunch. I make no bones about being a cheapwad. Scrooge lived luxuriously in my opinion.

Spin off from another thread. I'll update material swings in price. Something that will probably make the news today: The spot price for oil just fell over $4.80 a barrel to be under $120. Currently sitting at $118.58. RBOB Gasoline is down 11 cents a gallon to $2.97.

It's not quite Hershey in size, but it can definitely rival in quality.

on something the level of a Cadillac, they could afford to use active motor mounts

Anyone going? Turns out, my vacation to the New Hope area is on those same dates. I had completely forgotten about it until the owner of the B&B we're staying at asked if we liked classic cars. So we'll be there.

I"ve always admired them. I like the CTS for the more sporty, flashing side of things. I like the Fleetwood for a long distance highway cruiser. I've always had the dream that, if I could be like Jay Leno, I'd buy a '96 FB, pull the LT-1 out and put in an LS-6 or LS-2, and firm up the sway bars a whole lot, but otherwise keep it as stock looking as possible.

That's sharp... even if it is a Buick pattern on a Chrysler.

you *really* need to just back up your stuff and reinstall windows. This machine will never be well again otherwise.

smk, your incoherent arguments are making my trigger finger twitch. the turbo-4 has just about the same torque curve as the base 3.6HF.
