Easy Peasy
Takes a second to pull the fuse, a little testing, then another second to put it
back in, if you didn't like it that way...

laborsmith have you done any instrumented 0-60 or other with the car?

laborsmith · 04-09-2016, 05:00 PM

No and based on my history I will not.

:( Still wishing they had a variety of gearing and a LSD for the 2.0L Turbo Automatics, if they did I'd be buying a Blue Velvet Metallic, ASAP ....

ive driven both the auto and the manual... i wasnt enthused with the manual at all. the auto seemed to have enough gears to almost keep it in the power band all the time...

im going to be starting to work a deal next week to get a bare bones t4 car with an automatic next week.

So laborsmith, do you regret buying the turbo, is that what you are saying?

EDIT: Didn't mean to offend, just wanted a clarification.

Interesting interpretation of my comments. I am more than pleased with my turbo four Camaro and I have a long history of owning forced induction fours for comparison.

My complaint is the ride is too quiet but once ZZP comes through that complaint will be resolved.

Im really happy with my turbo. The car feels light, but solid. For some reason it reminds me of the 97 thru 01 Honda Prelude when Im driving.
