14.1 is not bad for a stock car that is supposed to be a suped up family economy car. turbo would make more power, but i just like the blower whine and that its different

^I heard that rumor too but still dont know anything about it. Can't be a fast car becasue I never heard of it lol

**Rikki_SeVeN** · 10-29-2007, 09:15 AM

I saw a Tripple charged 350Z...in a magazine onces... crazy stuff... SuperCharger for under 4K RPMs... with a clutch that deactivated it...while the turbo spooled at 4K RPMs all the way up to red line...with some Nitrous just for the hell of it... a 75 shot I belive...

crazy stuff...

my question is why would you want to buy a colbalt thats going to be a 14 sec. car for around $22k base when the new camaro is coming and is going to be priced to compete with the mustang and you can get a new v8 stang for around $25 if you don't get too crazy with the options, hmmm 3 grand more for a v8 and a car that is sexy ass hell and has been mentioned that the either the LS2 or LS3 will be the BASE v8, i think i know my choice if i were buying a new car.

Simple economics. Gas is expensive, people drive to work on a daily basis, V8 doesn't exactly scream fuel economy(yeah I know the whole variable displacement blah blah). Then there's insurance... Much cheaper for a 4 banger than a muscle car. But me, I know which one I'd go for... heck might even do both.

HAHA gas milage is the funny part, the old SS supercharged got 22 mpg city 30 highway, so for my M6 LS1 has averaged 24 to 25mpg per tank and maybe 80 out of the 200 mile on that tank are highway, but yeah insurance blows on it
