What are the 2 holes on the top cover on the back of the car?...Should i wait to get the redline?
My Apologies I am new to the forumandrewplanet said:The two holes are where the roof latches into the top when it is up. I recommend you search the forum next time as there is a wealth of information that has been already posted. .
Me too. With the 250+ HP numbers that are rumored, I am concerned that it may be very peaky. However, it really depends on the displacement, size of the turbo, and how quickly it spools up. If the engine makes decent torque just off idle, and the turbo is small enough to quickly spool up, lag should not be bad at all. Lets hope!SkyHawk said:I just hope the Red-Line's engine doesn't have that gawd-awful turbo lag.![]()
Why, lag can be good. If you want to get better MPG you just stay off the boost. I prefer the boost to kick in at about 2500-3000 RPMFformula88 said:Me too.

Ah come on man, are you really going to believe what a magazine has to say. That's almost like believing a dealer. :lol:Delnari said:Motor Trend has reported the new turbo engine for the Redline and GXP version with be a 2.2L engine. Take a look at the new 2006 EVO IX, it now has 286 hp and 289 ft. lbs of torque from a 2.0L engine. Hell, if Japan can boost this much power from a small 4 cylinder engine why can't the largest car manufacturer in the world?
The Mules exist, weather or not they are going to go into production is another story. There are rumors now even of a 2.8 V6, basically the base CTS/9-3 Aero Drivetrain, which isn't too shabby. Especially if they throw a turbo on it like the Saab 9-3 Aero has.brentil said:Ah come on man, are you really going to believe what a magazine has to say. That's almost like believing a dealer. :lol:
We've officially got zero official information about a GXP/RL even existing at this point unfortunately. Only things we've seen for sure are the modified Solsti and the prototype looking turbocharged version. Hoping we get some bones thrown our way at SEMA this year, but I'm not expecting anything official till NAIAS 2006.
Making more power is such a simple thing that a small child could do it -Delnari said:Motor Trend has reported the new turbo engine for the Redline and GXP version with be a 2.2L engine.

This is the most errored description of hp and tq I have ever read.kingarthur said:"you get HP but its the TQ that gives you that stuck in teh seat feeling."
So many people don't understand torque or horsepower. Horsepower is
a unit of work, torque is a unit of force. Torque is measured at all RPM levels, and horsepower is calculated from those torque values using
the formula HP = Torque X RPM X C (a constant).
The rated horsepower of an engine is the maximum calculated
horsepower. Obviously, the maximum torque will be found at an RPM level less than the RPM level where the max horsepower is found. For two engines with the same horsepower, but one has a lower torque, that engine will make less horsepower than the other at most of the RPM levels lower than that at which max horsepower is found. Engines in which the torque and horsepower
are nearly equal are characterized as "peaky" engines, with a relatively narrow power band, and one that is found at high RPM levels.
I agree. You measure horsepower but you feel torque.SkyCaptain said:This is the most errored description of hp and tq I have ever read.![]()
You really need to take a step back.
