How to convince your wife to let you get a turbo...

Okay, deal. You buy the Mallett car, take the hood off and keep it for her car and I'll come haul the rest of the leftovers away for you. :judge:

[DamnYankee]

Sure, since his stuff is soooo cheap....

That little ricer is fast , I can vouch for that. It's still hard to believe you never have to lift foot out of gas to change gears.

[RedHeartbeat]

Not for 100,000 miles.

Ok, I am going to have to teach you dumbasses a few things (surprisingly Kurt is not considered a dumbass in this situation because he already knows what I am talking about):

The new turboed GM cars (Cobalt SS, Saturn Sky Redline, Pontiac Solstice GXP, etc) have a new 'Launch Control' technology that is a stability system that features four modes: on, traction off, competition mode and fully off. In comp mode, the limits of the yaw control are higher and launch control is enabled. Launch control will hold engine rpm at 5100 when the throttle is floored at a standstill. The clutch is still driver-controlled, but a nice quick smooth release will produce about 3 ft. of scratch at start.
The car also allows a no-lift shift — in all gears, any time the car is at full throttle. Near the 6300-rpm limiter, simply shift without lifting off the throttle. The system will selectively cut spark and phase the variable camshafts, thereby holding boost pressure and rpm. The ingenious anti-lag can be maintained for roughly 0.2 second. A single pop! from the exhaust is the sound of a quick shift. Pretty cool stuff on a $20k car, right? If you master the art of shifting on this car, you can cruise to a 5.5 0-60 sec time and trip the 1/4 traps at 13.9 secs...

that is cool tyler but her car is not a turbo jackass... do the non-turbo's still have this technology?
