So. Nice to meet you. Love the 306 Gti's, always have had a soft spot for them once I saw a pretty impressive one with ITB's on youtube. Love the styling and the attention to detail some of you guys put in your builds.

I have a 2006 Cobalt SS/SC with a factory supercharger (Eaton M62) with a 2.8 pulley running arounf 18 psi, with supporting 60 lb/hr injectors, Trifecta tune, downpipe, 3 inch CAI, Front mount heat exchanger (air to liquid heat exchanger so no IC), catback exhaust, blah blah blah...lowered on Eibachs....blah....

Stock they are rated 200 hp/200 ft/lbs. With my mods around 250 whp or so.

Working on some pics (even though mine has a bit of front damage (bumper) I am working on fixing.

So.....sup?

Welcome!

An American with an interest in 90s Peugeots? Now that's rare! LOL

You didn't get any more Peugeots over there after the 505 did you?

Of the car? sure. Of me....nope. I feel this would degenerate into some sort of rant ala clarkson about all americans are fat, violent, assholes....which might be true of all of us.

Me? Not so much....though I could lose some weight.

Certainly would be quite a strange car to have in the States. Always thought it'd fun to drive about in something like a properly sorted charged 306 or maybe a Bowler Wildcat in the States for giggles.

Anyway I know you've got plenty of my current car (volvo V70) out there as loads of tuning parts come from the US. Gimme a shout if you ever see a cheap IPD rear roll(sway lol) bar.

I agreee - James May FTW!!
