yea ive been pretty down considering my car hit a patch of ice and slid into a tree today so i browsed the internet for some cool ****. lol.

i really do wish they wouldve kept the twin turbo tbss idea. i mean if i was around in the 70's i wouldve loved to see that chevelle. you would think they would of kept the inline 6 with the twins seeing all of the success from the supras and skylines

I'd drive one. But they are still rather expensive. You could buy 2 v8s.

truth. however the ss/sc cobalts can easily be had for under 10k now and are still pretty potent and respond well to mods. my gf is actually considering selling her accord for a ss/sc.
