15 second aveo?

[thehunterooo]

i know, he does not have anything listed on there right as of 4pm today though lol

i was looking at removing the airbags later on and getting the hub from him too, save on shipping :P

since your running small wheels and tires, you should buy coilovers instead of h&r springs and slam it like me..

[thehunterooo]

that would be JDM YO

im debating it

[reddemonx92]

lol coilovers is the way to go man. adjustable height is good

AWD is the only thing I settled on when I bought my Aveo. Funny my "summer" car is AWD and my daily and winter car is FWD.

Turbo would be a great swap if it would work. Might be harder to route the plumbing though.

[thehunterooo]

tuning and reliability would be my biggest issues, look at my boy in canada, his super cool aveo sits in the yard :P

if I were not sooooo busy and had a second car then I might do some crazy swap though lol

I would figure out ecxatelly what kind of money for the SS engine/tranny swapp, after all u may be better of geting a diferent car for about the same money without all the headaches/down time of the converstion, I know this will piss people of but the Aveo is great for a cheap car, car be supped up for little money and its very good looking and reliable but not comparason to a older model better car that cames already set up factory like a used Nissan 300,350 or Mitsubishi GT VR4 or etc... maybe be a better option.

[thehunterooo]

you arent pissing anyone off around here

if i didnt owe so much on it i might have very well bought something else, but for a couple of grand the aveo can be a good car

cant beat the insurance prices either for myself :P

14.7 with this??? And 135 whp??? You gotta be kidding me man, let's be realistic here!

My friend's Mx-3 powered by a KLZE 2.5L V6 engine (200hp stock) at 8 psi of boost could only crack around 13.7 - 13.9 and that car's roughly only 200 pounds more heavy then the Aveo. Another one of by buddies had a H22 inside a EG hatch (lighter then the Aveo), that car was quick as hell, and even with slicks on he managed high 14's, no 135 whp Aveo would even touch his car.

Hell i probly cant even reach high 14's with my turbo 2.0 at this time and its way more powerfull then anything you can put into the 1.6 prior to forced induction.

My N/A 2.0 was pulling consistent 16.9's on the quarter with excellent take offs and that alone was quite a lot faster then the 1.6.

A Mazdaspeed 3 does low 14's, turbocharged Cobalt high 14's, both cars heavier yes but alot more powerfull as well... and you expect a 135 whp 2300 lbs car to do low 15's and high 14's....

i REALLY would have to see it to believe it to be honest, it just doesnt make sense.

keep in mind its the gearing and when the hp reaches peak in the gear , more so than hp to weight, that keeps these cars slower.. even though the car has 150-200 hp, it might not have the hp until redline.

dragsters are built with 1000hp so they have 300-400hp (probably better now) off the line at lower rpm.. a design point of stall convertors etc, is to get going at a higher rpm for more hp BEFORE the car moves.
