Linkie no workie.

I checked it out as it was posted on another board. Looks pretty nice. I think they are going to give it a targa top.

Btw, they are putting a similar turbo setup in the Cobalt SS. It is going to go from 215 to 260 hp. I may have to get a new beater car.

Norm,

On the subject of high HP front drivers......... I think they handle like crap. Torque steer is always a problem, driving a high HP front driver in the rain or snow can make you a hospital patient in the blink of an eye. One of the most ill handling devices on the planet. Not that I think you would get one, but if you consider it..... talk yourself out of it.

Cute.

In all seriousness, I can remember many times being on the highway, the rain hits/ all it took was a little nudge of the gas and the front tires just hoplessly spin at highway speed. To make matters worse, the steering wheels are what is spinning so you have zero directional control.

Hey!

I bought an American Honda. It's like ordering the sushi and eating it with a fork.

I'm still a proud member of this site.

I think it is special edition too. It is called a ZOK. It is an autocross car for Marion.

This is from another Forum:
With no fan fare or announcement from Pontiac, there is a new option today as fastmike has pointed out, and Andrew Jackson first found clues to. It is the Z0K-Club Sport Package.

The online order guides, VOMS and GM AutoBook (the sales tool on salesperson's computers) all have been updated to include it.

Z0K-Club Sport Package includes JL9-Brakes, 4-wheel antilock, G80-Differential, limited slip, read end and FE3-Suspension, 4-wheel independent, Sport-tuned.

No information could be found about the specific upgrades in the FE3-Suspension over the current suspension. It may, be a pull ahead of some of the 2007 GXP components. But no information yet.

Important note, no other options may be ordered with the Z0K-Club Sport.

Also keep in mind that one will need to keep an eye on wheel constraints, since only the base wheel is available with this new option.

MSRP for the package is $1,095.

Actually, I did have a Honda for a bit about 4 years ago. I just kept quiet about it.
