Bang for the Buck Thread

I believe it is for a clean EM1. I don't follow these too closely though.

It might be the cheapest car with 100 hp/liter all motor. I know how much you love that metric.

Verano Turbo probably can enter this thread. They are as cheap as $13k for an auto and $12k for a manual. That is a 2013 car with 250hp, good features and refinement.

Perhaps more interesting due to the price point: HHR SS.

2008 with 81k for $5,995, automatic

2008 with 155k for $4,750, automatic

And the winner, a 2009 with 194.5k, with manual and no picture, for $3,300.

Having driven an automatic HHR SS, you are getting a very capable and useful daily driver for pretty damn cheap. And don't forget about the GM Stage upgrade kit.

You go from 235-250hp, without the kit, all the way to 290hp, plus a very ''noticeable'' increase in torque

The First and Second gear is the greatest noticeable improvement here. The boost is no longer restricted like it is stock in these two gears. It really changes the character of the car.

That thing probably does burnouts for days with that if you want it to.

GM Turbo upgrade kit for LNF
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Perfo ... h3&vxp=mtr

$577.99. That is money well spent.

You do have to get it reflashed but a voucher for that is included with the kit.

0-60 in 5 seconds for $800! http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/5752710155.html

it also has an overdrive which takes it from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds

[kevm14]

That car probably can't even do 0-60 kmh in 5 seconds.

File this one in the if you dare category: http://columbia.craigslist.org/cto/5756823281.html

Guess what? All three of these are gone already. I knew they were a good value.

Less than $50k for these. Trap 130, stock.
