It helped me make up my mind a bit, but was not the main reason. Far from it.

Other factors. I wanted to move on.. etc.

If u think this was an easy decision, you are mistaken. Trust me.

Yup, plan on it. All documentation will be included with the car.

I took some goodies off that I will be selling shortly.

I doubt it was an easy decision. What are you thinking about moving onto?

Thanks!! Hopefully it finds it way to someone who will take care of it, and leave it as is.

The new owner is getting a prototype supercharger, rare ported head, cams, valve springs, etc.

All with 100% reliability!!

It's a tough decision man. Trust me.

but once you're ready you will know.

I never thought this day would come. I have watched cars come and go on here for 10 years, and always questioned what they were doing.

Sorry to hear that staged, you have one of the nicest cars on the road.
I have already decided I'm not losing my ass selling mine and at some point it will become my everyday vehicle ( still park it in the garage when rain is forecasted and don't drive it in the winter). Everyone keeps asking why I'm driving a teenager car. I would love to have a scat pack challenger or new SS but man are they expensive. With all that she still puts a smile on my face driving and parts are cheap. This sight has died off and as you say a lot of the new owners went to Facebook, and I can't stand to listen to most.
Good luck with the regal, we have a 2012 that is my wife's car ( non gs) and it's been a good vehicle. Hope you stick around this sight.

Thanks man

Yeah, I had no problem driving my teenage car at 33 years old. I'm just slipping out of the sport compact phase. I'd love a new Camaro or even the Scat pack, but they are just not practical for me right now. I'd loose my ass selling out right or trading the car, because no one will pay what you have in the car. I know I would have got low balled left and right, and for the dealership to give me a high trade in value (for a Cobalt), I took it. I also couldn't wait much longer and risk loosing the opportunity of getting this GS. It really is mint and has enough power to put a smile on my face. Rides amazing and handles just as well as my SS. The Brembo's on the GS grab and stop on a time. A little better stopping power than my SS/TC brembos, but the rotors are larger on the GS so that prob has a little to do with it.

I will be sticking around here. Don't worry!! The LHU in my GS is essentially an updated LNF. Lots of good info on here to use still.

That's how I was this whole car season. Back and forth with the idea.

Then I took the test drive with the GS and the Turbo really put me in the seat and moved out nice. Def will keep me happy. It doesn't have the top end of my SS, but the low end is fun for sure.

Staged you shoulda sold it to me

I'm in the car shopping boat now too but not by my own choice. I'm seriously looking at a Scion FR-S with 41k at a local dealer, but also tempted to wait for the right GTO or G8. I am renting an Ecoboost 2015 Mustang right now and I love it. I thought I'd hate it but in sport+ mode it's really great. And unlike the focus/fiesta HPT supports it.

My neighbor has a BRZ with lots of mods (pretty much everything but FI). It is a great setup. Then I asked about when he plans on changing the spark plugs

I'm really tempted by it. It's an excuse to learn another tuning software down the road. Or lsx swap instead people are picking on me saying it's as slow as my base model but meh. There's also a v6 camaro here I wouldn't mind molesting the VVT tables on

Has anyone picked up a set of ZZP new high voltage coil packs ? I saw a review on here from earlier in the year where ZZP had done a recall on them for overheating However according to ZZP they have released a new batch that so far hasn't had any issues. I'm due for a new set of plugs so I figured I would take out my OEM coil packs & throw in a set of ZZP high voltage coil packs for my LSJ but I wanted to see if anyone else on here has had any experience with them yet & if so I would love to hear what you think about their performance

I have heard the lsj cars like them. Lnf not so much, but I guess Lnf cars kinda already have them from factory.

They are fantastic, and I'm selling mine actually cuz I'm trading in the car.

There was never a recall on the LSJ coils. They were flawlessly.

They only have maybe 1k miles on them.

Keep a look out for my for sale thread.
