"The ZL1’s automatic will be a six-speed unit with manual shift controls. It’s a unique transmission that is designed for the high power and torque loads of the ZL1’s engine, but Caldwell told us the design is a “sister” to the automatics employed by the Chevrolet Corvette and Cadillac CTS-V."

I wonder what makes it unique?

It must of been Polaris Blue. In the sun it looked a little more teal than the chip.

Found one. With those wheels and tires it's 1976 again.

Fen, are you happy with 270?

And first real FE run with the Sonic.........impressive!

FenwickHockey65 · 06-15-2011, 04:56 PM

Definitely an improvement. Was worried that the 220 HP Turbo and proposed 255 HP GS were way too close together.

2cnd chance · 06-15-2011, 07:04 PM

Yeah I loved that blue. It would look great ona ZL1, or even a Z**.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 06-15-2011, 08:55 PM

YAY Buick Regal GS!

That is an awesome car!

Number 3, the 1.4T in the Cruze/Sonic isn't direct-injected, is it? Seems like there's an error with Chevrolet's webpage...
