Yeah... I've found there are quite a few bolt ons out there for the lightweight beast...

And so much less expensive... I could do an entire sonic build for how much I had in blower alone...

Amen on the truck repellent.

even with the track alignment the tire wear was pretty good on my camaro...

but yes, every thing is cheaper on a sonic...

I was looking at short throw shifters... reading DIY threads....

they are located under the battery in the engine bay????

so not a fan of FWD...

Oh and I have a TON to learn about turbos...

One guy said it best.
