i know both are slow but this dumbA## keeps coming over to where me and a couple of friends work on our cars a small shop to say only ours though.for some reason unknown he decides to tell me his car can smoke mine.
he's a caliber sxt auto 2.0 cyl mine 2.0 also but 5 speeder.is it worth the time or not.btw we would go to a race track not the street.one last thing he wants to bet money 500 to the winner.i know how his perform since i bought one for my dad about 4 months ago. he has the same trim as my dads.

my guess is that you should win. Those things are really heavy, and he has about the same amount of power as you.... also his torque is less im pretty sure

so i got him i left him eating his words.my eclipse was way quiker off the line.before he got up to speed i wa gone.sweeeet so what i should i spent the 500 on.

as far as a tweeked tranny only would be an r/t or srt4 caliber awd ones and a cvt engine i think.thats what my dads car says cvt on the top of engine. but still slow and you can actually feel all the weight holding the car back.

Good deal!!! :) How far did ya leave em in the dust???

I was gonna buy the AWD when it comes out, glad I found out about the weight seems they need the AWD system to get any kind of performance out of it.

llike a car lenght.the awd is better more traction.it will needed for the weight.soon the srt4 turbo this one would be worthy to race see how it does. anywho one thing you may want to look out for is the gas mileage in some cars its not what they really say its alot lower. this thing can really redline but the manual says not to or chances of braking tranny or angine knock real early.but at least if you blow the engine its covered by warranty sweeeeeeet.
