wow, and it only costs the taxpayer 7500.00 per car. Whats it do 0 to 60 in 12 secs? My favorite thing is to storm by eco-weiner cars in my VR4 or SS

Well I paid enough taxes and sacrificed enough for people like you to pay for my eco car. And I have my little V6 to deal with your outdated VR4 and SS.

Like I tell many, come see me at CFIII!!

I have no problem taking advantage of every single tax break you can get!! However, might want to do some research... not so sure your Volt is all that eco-friendly... Looks like Georgia is gets 62% of it's electricity from coal-fired plants:

Then there is the whole battery debate....

IMHO you would actually be better off with the eco-version of the Cruze...

I hear you scrming, But the wife loves it a lot. But like your wife mine gets to charge it at work for free and so do I. I been trying to beat her to look at the Cruze as it's larger. But she won't, I wanted the boosted Cruze lol!

The turbo Cruze is very nice! Just about bought one! I mean I was ready to sign on the dotted line... then the wife (a GM girl) suggested we look a a Mini! Really? A Mini? What the heck! So ended up with a Mini! Not fast but it is Go-Kart FUN!!! And gets 38 MPG, which is better than 13 that my truck gets! LOL!

Well got a break from the rain yesterday and ran my car a little. Also got to use my new camera mount which works great. All I did was record how crazy the AFR's look and how the boost climbs. I did different WOT runs and even did one up a hill. I received my updated turbo from Tracy yesterday. Will be installing soon then will be submitting a new log to Vince. Steven from Trifecta messaged me last night to see how the car was running. He's on stand by waiting for my new logs. I think the V6 Camaro community is their new cash cow. So we maybe see faster turn around times with tweaks.

Yes driving this car is a bundle of joy. That is why I have made it my DD now. Gas is a pita since I'm running rich sometimes but loving it.

WHY? why has gretchen gone through three sets of turbos, and why are you now on your 2nd??? I just need to know, they are the expensive part of the turbo kit, and you need two of them. please explain did you upgrade to the EFR's??

Gretchen had been sold the first turbos from a vendor as being ceramic ball bearings. They were actually the less expensive journal bearing units and failed as oil restrictors were used. The second set are still perfectly good, we just supplied him with them until the contrained EFR's came in....and now he has the EFR's.

Cant see me has a seal leak on one and instead of having him remove it and send it in for warranty to replace it, we sent hime another new one. He has the top of the line Borg Warners, but not the EFR's.
