Just seems like a whole lot of work to be at a disadvantage from the start. I'm not saying i wouldnt have one as a sporty DD but I wouldnt go beyond a tune a bolt ons either.
Absolutely correct, that is why I never went as far with the cobalt. Plus a FWD chassis just doesnt handle that kind of power well. The motors in those cobalts are 'daily drivers' but most have multiple tunes and don't run at that pwer level all the time. But having almost 400whp with my E85 combo tune was sweet.
