Replying to: joem5 (Feb 02, 2009 5:05 pm) I'f GM would take the turbo four from the Cobalt SS and stuff it in the Astra(with an adequate suspension and brakes, of course) I'd be very inclined to buy one. Especially if the sunroof remained optional. Replies to this message: joem5 (Feb 03, 2009 8:51 am)

Replying to: roadburner (Feb 02, 2009 8:05 pm) I just compared a Hundai Elantra touring(i think) to a Mazda 3 HB touring and Hundai has a 2.0L 5 sp.,AN optional sunroof,heated seats and 17inch alloys and tires..$3300.00 lower than the Mazda dealer quoted me.I 've never been in a Hundai. I have a nice mint Acura Type S, a 65 Sting Ray(trying to find an ignition reduction shield for it.)327 short block been offered alot for it. My wife will go first. My problem is I'm tight and took a step down to the Mazda. Maybe, if I bought the 2.3 L with the 5pd I'd be happier.I can go from 2nd to 6th in the Acura 55 k before limiter kicks in. That Chevy Cobalt is a sleeper and the SS turbo put in that small 3 dr Astra would be a track car.GM, Ford and now the nippons aren't getting it. They try to make you buy options, or upgrade.
