good luck!Sorry guys everybody talks about the ecotec, but I have to say my SRT runs 24-26lbs boost all day long when I want and no problems....GM shouldve gone the extra mile with this car and done more
Axles, trans, head gasket, valve springs, all shouldve been higher perf ones!

Sucks dood. Most rental car companies REQUIRE you to be over 21 to rent a car. Thats the first thing they asked when I got mine for my sunroof being broken. IM now on Day 11 and still have this damn rental car. If I was 19 or 20 I wounldnt have gotten one. Actually when I was in my sentra and under 21 They gave the rental car to my mom and I drove her car LAWL.

the SRT has no internal mods and runs like this all day long...just says who did their homework, dont get me wrong, love the eco, has sooo much potential but you have to change 1/2 the engine to tap it...

when one is broke they look to free solutions
I still have to buy plates and pay my first car payment again lol
