Went to look at a new Z06 etc.

[ssms5411]

So Ryan(meatyshells) and I went down to the dealership today, they didn't have the new Camaro , it was just for the grand opening, but they will get some in April. I did take some pics of the new Z06. The Service Director Dan , said we should test drive a turboed HHR or the new turbo Cobalt since he didn't think we could drive the Corvette. I think it is because a sales person has to be with you also there was some old big wig in there , might have been the owner since he had 3 guys around him kissing his @ss and he was checking out everything. I can't drive a stick anymore and Ryan being so young they were flipping out anyways because we were taking some blue aqua metalic color turboed SS HHR for a test drive which was a manual so Ryan drove it, I told them he has to drive since I'm on too many meds.LOL I had to admit once the turbo kicks in it feels like it is taking off pretty fast. Ryan was chirping the tires every chance he got.LOL Hits 15 PSI pretty quick which is the cutoff on it. Ryan turned the traction control off.LOL It also had a lauch control option which was pretty cool and a boost gauge on the drivers pillar. Once they get the new Camaro in , at the end of April , I will def. go up and get some pics and test drive one. I took some pics:

Here are some more pics: It was pretty fun going up there, Got me out and about, I think once they get more newer cars in I should be able to get Dan to get a test drive in a vette, but I thik Ryan had a good time driving the SS HHR.Looking at the last pic.LOL

The SS HHR is pretty nice for $24,000. The turbo gets the 260HP moving pretty good, The Cobalt with the turbo would even be alot quicker.

Re: Went to look at a new Z06 etc.

It was fun though I never driven in a turbo vehicle before, now I know what to expect from mine expect from mine when I'm done but twice the power.LOL

factory boost gauge lies its not really hitting 15psi that gauges runs off the pcm and is no where near accurate

Re: Went to look at a new Z06 etc.

test drove a new cobalt ss sedan. it is a peppy little thing, but everything feels so cheap insde. i would rather have an SI over the ss, jsut for overall package rather than just looking at performance and looks.

That is just sexy. Truely a work of art.

I probably won't even look at an HHR. I prefer the PT Cruiser style over it.

Once you have yours turbo it will be way faster than both Cobalt and HHR. Who knows, you might even give that ZO6 a challenge.

Whats this about ST. Nick and the Easter Bunny?LOL

Thor, those calipiers were like almost a foot long on that Z06, thats serious stopping power and that bad boy , I would like to surprise some of them zero to 60. I would think it would take 15 PSI to get those things to 260 HP . If it is a 2.0 4 cyl. that has about 100 hp stock engine then 10hp per 1lb of boost would make since giving it 260 HP or around there. I think thats why these civics have to run 35 PSI to make 300- 400 HP.

its more than 100 horse my old stock 1.6 civic was rated @ 135 and that was a 97 12 years later they can crank out quite a bit more with the same displacement.. just my opinion though..

WTF? Does the Z06 come in only one color? That's identical to the Z06 I saw Sat in Prescott at Lamb Chevy.

What type of Civic is that? It must be an SI. My '96 DX only has 105hp and the top of the line 115hp. My Hyundai Accent was faster. LOL
