My mom's got an '07 Rendezvous with no special options on it and she likes it quite a bit.

Ze hair! C'est fini?!

Nike. Just do it.

Gloss black is boring in comparison to metallic or pearlescent black.

All I've gotta say is.. f@#k yes.

That would definitely be an HHR I would love to see out there on the road! Hope to see you (and everyone else) back again next time. Be sure to vote though, as that cost many participants points in this last string of voting! Thanks to all who entered! Be sure to tune into our latest contest and sketch up a G5 replacement, which just started. RWD? BMW 1-Series competitor? Ultimate electric hybrid? You be the judge! Just be sure to get your sketch or rendering in before the April 26th deadline! The 1st-place winner will have their concept featured on the Cheers and Gears homepage and Design Showcase! Check out the Showcase for all out past winners. Congratulations and thanks again!

Welcome to Sketch Competition #24! A couple years back when the G5 debuted, we believed it to be a stopgap to fill the spot between Pontiac's Sunfire and a new RWD entry-level vehicle. Well, the time to replace this vehicle is coming up quickly, but time is changing the industry even quicker as CAFE and the government rule automakers' say in what they produce. Will the G5 remain the same size? Will it become more aerodynamic? Will it even be RWD in its next generation? Why don't you give us an idea of what we could expect in a few more years. Should you accept, your task will be to design a next generation Pontiac G5. Right now all we know is that the industry is getting tight to make cars smaller and more fuel efficient... but what will Pontiac do since the G5 already is small and relatively fuel efficient? Remember, the BMW 1-Series was just released; will the new G5 target this car and go RWD like we're all hoping? Perhaps it'll be an AWD turbocharged rally-type car. You be the judge! Please include at minimum 2 (two) of the following: *3/4 Front View *3/4 Rear View *Interior View **Entries without two perspectives will still be accepted, but will incur a 2-point penalty at the end of voting** Remember, people will be voting based on the overall presentation of your entry, so the more views the better, including ones not specifically listed above. Aside from 800x600 size guidelines, remember this should be a Pontiac entry-level car. Deadline is Thursday, April 26th @ 11:59PM your local time. Good luck!

Meh I was hoping to see another entry or two..

I don't remember it...

That's okay. I'm really jealous.

I really can't wait to get my power mods installed on the Cobalt as soon as we've got a consistent 50+ degrees outside. Hopefully in about a month! And in about a week I'll be installing a whole new sound system that I can't wait for. Then it'll be going back to school and, as soon as the weather breaks, getting to play and get drunk on the volleyball court (we just redid the vb court and front deck at our fraternity last spring and it's awesome). Also, vacations. I'm not sure where I'll be working for my summer work term... possibly SC, FL, or Detroit again. However, I'll probably be going to the Upper Peninsula with my two best friends and some others to camp for a few days after I get out of school for the spring (sometime in June) and that should be a whole lot of fun!

Nice catch, Mr. Doane.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1554882 Badass restore! Too bad it's not a '68-72

http://matt.undiagnosed.org/Black70.html That's what I found. Pretty good coverage of exactly what he used.

It's a completely different engine w/ about 60-70 HP difference.

LS1tech is a damn good source.. Found basically exactly what I'm looking for. Awesome!

haha I thought you meant General Motors Institute for GMI.

Wrong you are. The LSJ and LNF pistons are rated right around 300 HP. The 5 speed in them are also very weak and just about at their break point.

THE 6.0 LS2 IS OUT OF f@#kING PRODUCTION. IT'S NOW THE 6.2 LS3!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I had to get that out. I'm looking at: 3.6L -- 250-260 HP 3.6 DI -- 320 HP 6.2 LS3 -- 430 HP SC 6.2 LS8 -- 525 HP

Alright, I was just speaking in favor of keeping threads where they go. But here is fine.
