Not bad at all.

Yeah that looks like a fun little car! I almost went with a cobalt when i was looking for a car. Front drive doesnt do it for me though.

Ambiguous

The Colbalt SS in the video sounds horrible... that would make me not wanna buy one just bc of that! For the price though, its one heck of a little car

Well they did say it was on the stock exhaust.

It does sound terrible.

Though the car is probably one of the best bang for the buck cars available today.

Too bad it's not a RWD or AWD drivetrain.


Unfortunately, no car manufacturer offers a RWD or AWD sport compact with a forced induced engine.

We got screwed by Nissan NA with the 240SX.

What about Miata? And Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky? BMW 135? Of course neither compares to an evo, but there are a few out there.

But I agree, what are you going to do with 370 HP with the front wheels just spinning?

reminds me of an SRT-4 actually if i was listening to it without viewing the video. imho it sounds like **** but it looks like it moves pretty good

So I wonder what it sounds like if they actually put a larger exhaust on it....

not to mention how much better it would breath

The kit includes everything needed to have a true tire burner:

It looks to me like you would have to remove the engine to install that turbo kit. Has anyone actually looked under the hood on one of these?

Wow the exhaust was worse than I thought. Maybe with a different manifold or resonator it would sound better..

I don't think Mazda makes the turbocharged variant of the Miata anymore.

You're right I did forget about the Pontiac Solstice & Saturn Sky .


I should have added the affordable clause to what I said too.


Has anybody priced out a 135i lately; it can get pretty pricey.

We were using a tail-pipe sniffer that was unfortunately acting up. The direct injected motors from the factory run alot leaner as well. In stock form it runs a solid 13.0-1 under high boost. We have the car tuned for high 11s and low 12s for relaibility with the larger turbo. The exhaust is stock at this point as we wanted to build a kit that could be bolted on with the least amount of mods and make power, but we will be adding a 3" exhaust wich should change the tone quite a bit. Thanks for looking,
