last time I checked you couldn't get an auto in a Z06.

here's the interior of a Z06.

It's running the direct-injection 260HP ecotec 2.0L lnf engine. 9.2:1 compression ratio @ 20 psi! Better power output per liter than the 335i.

Nyulak · 10-28-2007, 11:29 PM

Any news on how the small displacement and large amount of boost, and its effect on lag?

fusionchicken · 10-28-2007, 11:35 PM

mazdaspeed 3 is still king of fwd turbo. ftw.

It should, considering that little 20psi bit you just mentioned.

why does chevy like to put the E-brakes on the passenger side?

Year's_End · 10-29-2007, 01:08 AM

Isn't that the British setup?^

Nah, they put it on the floor. (And on the left side no less.)

Year's_End · 10-29-2007, 01:22 AM

That's right. I forgot...I just remembered that it was wrong somehow lol.

Erm, that was a joke actually. As far as I know there is only one car ever made with the hand brake in that position. Major kudos to the first person who guesses what it is.

Year's_End · 10-29-2007, 02:52 AM

Oh really? Quit confusing me...

spacedogg · 10-29-2007, 03:01 AM

Perfect. So if I directed an American version of Top Gear...I would have three guys go test out three turbo FWD cars in a series of tests:

1) Representing USA: Chevy Cobalt SS
2) Representing Europe: VW GTI
3) Representing Japan: Mazdaspeed 3

That would be a fun episode.

Not on the track, I guarantee the Turbo Cobalt would run away from the GTI on the track, I'd still rather own the GTI though.

mmm def · 10-30-2007, 10:03 PM

Meh I'll take the MS3 anyday.
