When I see ecotec I think of John Lingenfelter... may he rest in peace
Quote:
These videos were made by John Lingenfelter's track crew and shows John making several interesting 1/4 mile passes. This truck originally set records in 2001 when it was run in Pro Stock Truck class with a V8. In 2002 John returned to run in the Pro Sport Compact class. The truck was powered by a serious 2.2 L Chevrolet Ecotec turbocharged 4 cylinder that was making well over 1,100 HP. Turn up the sound, enjoy and watch for some unexpected action crossing John's lane. For more information please visit www.lingenfelter.com

Well Mrs. Number 3 is proudly driving a 2011 Ice Blue Metalic Cruze LTZ RS now. Not sure I can convince her that a Pedder's suspension upgrade will improve her commute though.

Thanks for all the help, Becky.

Use Becky's favorite line. Driving a lowered Pedderised Cruze will make your wife feel ten years younger and ten pounds lighter

Congrats on the new ride!!!

Probably traded her Malibu.

Congrats Number 3, and thanks for helping push Cruze to the top of the best-selling compacts list.

Hey, Fen! (Or #3, but I know he won't give a straight answer )

Any word on a civilian Chevy model of the G8 for production soon? The current Gen Impala has to be almost ready for a replacement. That thing is horrible!

I am looking into a new DD and decent used G8's are fetching a pretty penny :(

You might have to wait a little while. Supposedly it does have a program code within GM now, but that doesn't mean a whole lot.

Pay attention to developments for the VF Commodore.

Impala just got the LFX and a 6-speed transmission, not much else though. What about the 2013 Malibu? Verrrrry nice car.

She might take a few of the 20 years..........................but on second thought she's pretty happy with experience.

Yep. But the new Focus is right there too.

Two fighters enter the ring. One will leave the winner, the other will leave with experience.
