LOLL
for the nissan , we all know the fiability. i remember , 3 years ago , i bought a nissan sentra E 1992 1.6 twincam 16valve manual 5 speed. paid it 275$ !!! the body was full of hole ( lol ) but under the car , no 1 fu****** spot of rust very clean. engine has 547 000km. i rided it to around 650 000km. engine was still running like a new one. the seller told me to change the clutch but i was stupide i never care about it. so the clutch goes to the sky. as i was looking for a chevette , i didnt changed the clutch . i sold the car without engine 75$ to someone and the engine 450$ to a friend ( he installed a turbo pushing 7 psi and changed nothing ). today hes still running it at drag race. 700 000km and the engine just start saying " hey soon i will die but you can still run me long time " . a record ? no i don't think but its rare.
anyway its a 92 not a 2008 thats why hes still running LOL.
come back to the chevette... 1 year ago i asked GM if chevette part are easy to find. they told me yes but the car is becoming rare. so i asked to a car collector if chevette was so rare , he said YES chevette are in the top of the most searched car list since 2006.
hum.. yes chevette automatic had a hole somewhere to drink gaz like that LOL but manual one was fine.
for the horse power , yes its very very slow ( 1min 12 sec 0-100 km/h lol my brother owned 4 chevette ) . but i think thats why its impossible or so to beat a chevette engine ( 1.6L at least ).
so if they wake up and remake chevette , i hope they are not going to make it like 140 hp lol nothing to se with chevette.
chevette need to stay slow ( but capable to do 0-100 at least in 12 sec ).
if its too slow , poeple will swap the engine.
or at least an option for a v6.
2 hour ago i talked to a friend , another chevette lover. hes 100% with me for the idea of a new chevette but only if they don't ruin it.
i think the price for a good remake dont realy have big importance.
i mean if its a GOOD remake , the price can be 27 000$ , ill buy it.
chevette 86 in good condition can be selled around 3500$ EASY ( 2000$ without engine ) .
in 1994 , my brother boughe his first chevette. 175$ 2 chevette . one in pretty good condition but dead engine , the other bad condition but good engine. he changed the engine and 7 years after the chevette got killed in a accident be a stupid civic guy with only a p-flo thinking he can beat a ferrari ( like 90% of kid with civic ) . 26 years old , and 2 week crying his chevette .
anyway...
enought story for now :P
let's dream about a chevette remake soon , a good one
peace
