[T What?]

Nothing amazing but I'm sure the boost can be turned up. LOL

I tuned my friend's has a Cobalt SS w/ similar motor....bone stock, tune only(upped the boost, and increased max torque allowed tables) ran 108mph in the 1/4

wish the regal gs had the awd they talked about...

Its a turd and most likely a bastard to drive aggressively with the fwd configuration.

Car & Driver tested the Regal, Acura, & Vw - the Regal came in last.

it was in the hunt for Motor Trend car of the year....made it past the first cut...they praised it, but weren't to hot on the motor

Atleast they are making one. Maybe they will steer toward performance in the future?

The turbo makes 24hp more than the N/A motor? And that turbo lost power quickly once the rpms climbed. I'm sure someone on this board has the know how to squeeze a little more oomph out of this motor. I'm assuming they're 4 valve heads correct?

Yep and 87 TR only had 245hp

The GS model will probably be a lot better with the Caddy V6. Too bad they don't turbo it.:frown:

Somehow I ended up on a Pontiac.com mailing list which today sent me:
