GMC Typhoon
It is 15psi acording to my tuner, once I get my 255 fuel pump to go with the bigger injectors on it I will have my tuner put it up to 20 psi. For great info on the sy/tys check out: http://www.syty.net/forums/index.php

AWD in C7's Future?
I think he is just trying to say that you can gain just as much performance by lowering mass as you would by increasing bhp. So if you made an all aluminum and carbon fiber Zo6 that weighed about 2600lb and left the engine alone it would probably perform close to a 650bhp 3200lb Zo6. Anther benefit of weight reduction is also handling.

AWD in C7's Future?
I am just showing that everyone is wrong when they are saying a front engine rear drive car can not put down over 600bhp cleanly. With more power and more torque the C7 should smoke the 599GTB and even if they style it up with a deluxe lether interior it will be lighter and handle better.

AWD in C7's Future?
The only thing the C7 will need an AWD option for is to let its buyers make it an all season car. If you want to know what GM will do to get the C7 to put down all that power just look at its main competition, the Ferrari 599 gtb fiorano F1 , 612 bhp 448 lb-ft 3700 lb curb weight, 0-60 in 3.2, 1/4 mile in 11.2 at 129.3. This car handles better and is quicker than a rear mid engine enzo and has a DSG style gear box, using this $280,000.00 car as a template GM should have no problem figuring out what to do to get the lighter more powerful C7 to unleash its potential.

Pontiac G8 to start at $27,595 | Ordering Guide
I believe I read somewhere that it had DOD to. That would be great, I like good gas mileage when I am not bombing around.

Vauxhall VXR8 gets supercharger kit
As long as the next CTS-V has over 600 bhp there should be no problem with this option for the G8.

Didn't I see a thread were someone said the the new Challenger would be available in V8 trim only and that dodge was only making it a niche vehicle????- FIRST LOOK: 2008 Chevrolet HHR SS Brochure
In black with AWD would have looked nice next to the TYPHOON.- AURA and CTS getting Diesels by 2010
front-wheel-drive??? Don't diesels make a lot of low end torque, that sounds like allot of tire spinning torque steer to me.- Lutz Talks Back III - What about Diesels?
Toyota does have enough money to absorb the loss so you never know.- Retards and their Civics
+1- First supercharged 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV!
I do not think GM would have done anything differently other than use a twin screw charger instead of the PAXTON/VORTEC one. Big Three upgraded the brakes the fuel system, ported and polished the heads , put in cranes rocker assembly, and improved the internals in the tranny. I think this is very similar to what GM would do with a V version.- Sticker Shock
I AM SURE THE ACADIA HAD MORE OPTIONS.- GM Europe sales reach record highs thanks to Chevy
IN THE END ALL THAT MATTERS IS HOW MUCH MONEY GOES OUT AND HOW MUCH COMES IN.- Two-Mode Hybrid system is $10,000+
ADD TO THAT THE FACT THAT GM TRUCKS GET THE BEST MPG ALREADY. GM HAS BEAN ADVERTISING THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE THE MOST CARS WITH A 30+MPG RATING FOR SOME TIME NOW BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN NOT SEE PAST THE FOG OF MISCONCEPTION. AN ACCORD HYBRID GETS 28/35 MPG A CAMRY HYBRID GETS 40/38 A IMPALA GAS ONLY GETS 21/31 (very good) YOU WANT GM TO DO WITH A GAS ENGINE WHAT TOYOTA AND HONDA CAN BARELY DO WITH A HYBRID???- GM Europe sales reach record highs thanks to Chevy
As long as this can keep GM afloat till they get their Malibu, Saturn's, CTS, and G8s out. . - I can't stop thinking about....
