I think you are confusing a tuner car with a sports car. They are not the same thing. Most tuner cars for the last few decades began life as small low powered commuter cars.


What he means is, stop putting dealership rice on them.

no lol i meant exactly what i said, if its meant to be nothing more than an "Economy" car, why even bother putting stuff on that makes it look fast or seem neat to the tuner crowd?

The very same could be said about the Z24 or the LS: 16" alloy wheels, spoiler, different bumpers and side skirts. Neither car is fast, so why should the rules be any different for us?

Mr.Goodwrench-G.T. wrote:The Cruze gets the 42MPG rating because the it has the low rolling reistant tires, active aero shutters, and belly aero mods. But Sonic has the same 6th gear ratio, but with also a taller final drive than the Cruze Eco, combine that with a set of L-R tires and with its 200-300lbs lighter weight, I am willing to bet you will pass the Eco Cruze's 42mpg rating. Sonic has potential in that dept.
I am curious why they wouldn't make an ECO model in the Sonic, though. If you think about it, someone who is looking for the best mileage is probably also looking for the lower price tag. Also, having the steeper FDR in the lighter car is odd. The higher gearing should be in the base model, and if they decide to make some sort of sport model, that one should have the steeper gears for the performance. At any rate, bang for the buck, I'm still actually considering a Sonic. I like the Cruze, but for the commuting that I do, I'm looking to save myself some money. Making the savings up in a car payment would be counter-productive. I'm curious if it's possible to get the ring gears from the ECO. I wouldn't mind making that upgrade myself.
