Its hard to break anything with no torque. I've just come to appreciate the extra comforts these cars offer over an fbody. Better on gas, I drive a ton. Dont require any time. That was the biggest thing with parting/dumping the camaro was I just didnt have the time to give her what she needed. Like a needy girlfriend who took all my money and never gave back.

yea,i can dig that. my friend is a mech. at a saturn for 6 years here in gainesville fl and hes got a 11 sec mustang and he raves about them new o7 skys. he says they come with turbos. theyre supposed to have about 245 hp stock. thats alot for a 2000 lb car. i figured its about the same power to weight ratio as would be new corvette. I think theyre really cool looking too. love the front end.

Hay Chris..glad to hear from you man ... I was wondering the other day how you were doing ... I'll PM you and hook you up like I told you before you went to Iraq..be kool and come home safe..the SKY is a bad *** little roadster ... I like the body style and it runs pretty good for a 4 banger..I drove one a while back and enjoyed it..


PS food for thought .. ..in a couple of years there should be some on the used car lots and it would make a good home for an LS1/2//6/7 motor...aka like the Hot Rod Mangzine/GM Power Train Pontiac Soltice project car with the LS7 under the hood..a turbo 4 is nice but nothing like V8 muscle and torque..
