Couple quick Q's

[Joel]

IMHO, a bonneville won't be fun... Ur not gonna be gangstah leaning in a bonneville, whether is supercharged or not,... more of a grandma car...
It might be a little faster but its still auto, and 4 dr. Try Honda?

haha that is for sure

Werd, Not really lookin to be a "Wangsta" to tell you the truth. I think what I am gonna have to do is bite the bullet and just buy something to drive for a couple of years until I am out of college...I guess if I wait long enough, something will show up...

If the SSEI is a 96+, BUY THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RidinRails]

the new SSEI's are nice as fuck ...but yeah its a 96+ buy it....get different pullys and it'll be quick as hell for a big car.

[JN607]

How much would that be as far as buying the pulleys goes?

[PSiedTSi]

Pulley kits are like $80. The motors are stout as hell too. There was just a TT Grand Prix that ran mid 9's with the stock long block...

[inspector01]

Trannies are the weak link of the ssei from my experiences.....pretty shitty but that was in a 93

[PSiedTSi]

They have the "HD" version, but yeah it is generally considered the weak link. People have stockers into the 10s but at that point its a guessing game.

[JN607]

How much would a HD tranny for an SSEI?

[PSiedTSi]

The HD is standard after like 96...

My buddy up in aberdeen has a avenger and damn for an avenger wow

17 inch wheels
carbon fiber hood
lowered 5 speed
can (exhaust)
looks fuckin nice

performance he has heads and car intake i believe and some other shit not sure tho its nice and well its actually pretty quick too

[beachbum_jon]

yeah its pretty rice, it think you can get a 5spd sebring tranny, same motors i beleive but dont quote me. i know they had 5spd trannies for sebrings tho for a fact. and both cars are 2.5L...and something most people dont know about sebrings and avengers is that in 1st they will shift to 2nd by them selves redline..

[JN607]

I went to test drive it yesterday night and it's pretty nice. 6K for a car with 54K miles. Not to bad, in my book, that is still getting broke in. They said that the car was serviced every 2500 miles whether it needed it or not, and I slammed it down a few times, and it goes pretty quick. I am going to go try and test drive the bonneville today and I will let you all know what I think. I really want the bonneville, but in all practicality, it might have to be the avenger. I'm not made of money...although I wish I was...lol

[PSiedTSi]

What year of bonneville were you looking at? I know you can find yourself a GTP/Regal GS/SSEI for cheaper than the Avenger...

[inspector01]

It is a domestic tho, that is towards the end of its life.......

[JN607]

The bonnie I am going to go check out is an 01'. It's really nice. Black with a HUD. It's a sick car. They want 8950 for it which kinda is a stretch for me. Tell me about that other bonnie though..

[PSiedTSi]

Oh damn, 01 is pretty new, have you checked out carshq.net or keepitlocal.com yet? I bet you can find somethin there. If not try, autotrader. A little bit of distance is usually worth a lot on the price...

[JN607]

This person did alot to his Avenger...

Looks like a lot of money to me..

[24valvenotak]
