Would you trade your Sonic for a Code 130R?

[firstorbit84]

Was the Camaro new off the lot? The 130r with a 1.4t will be quite a bit quicker than that Camaro.

No, this was in 2000. It was 5 years old with 26k miles when I got it.

I've never owned a new car. The sonic is the closest with only 9600 miles when I bought it

Both the Tru140S and the Code 130R would have the 2.0Turbo if they ever go into production, just FYI to all yee who lack updated info.

I'll be trading this autotragic for the Tru140S, I'll be first at the dealership.

Well I would have to have a Sonic first....so the answer is I don't know.

If by the time I'm ready to buy my Sonic, they announce this instead...forget the Sonic.

If I am all ready in my Sonic...probably not. However I may have to demod the Cobalt, sell everything, and the car, and pick up the 130R as a 2nd vehicle.

I'm in a position where the 130R would be more to my liking right now. My son will be 5 next summer...he's all ready for a booster, but I still have him in his Recaro car seat. He's able to get in and buckle himself so I don't see a need for 4 doors any more, but the insurance is definitely cheaper.

So, "It depends..."

If it didn't look so much like a mini camaro, possibly.

No way. I personally hate camaros so there is no way. The rear looks too much a slomaro. My. 002¢

A "slomaro" will cook your rice-burner any day.

I didn't know stock 12 second quarters were slow.

1. Haha
2. Define rice burner. I didn't know Chevy build "rice burners" ?! So noe all 4 bangers are rice burners? Wow. Lol
3. It may beat my American " rice burner" but they sure can't build a slomaro to beat a coyote. Good 5.0!!:banana:

Funny that the Camaro does the quarter in 12.4 and the Mustang takes 12.7.

1/4 miles will change with the driver. The 5.0 is a epicly amazing motor. I'm recently a big fan of there new 6.2

 

[Eric Smit]

quarter mile times also change with the car. there is a reason I pulled two articles from the same place, so that it was comparable. the camaro was faster.

[$ub$onic]

They are still comparable

Both URL you send were camaro and says 12.7
So i found a article that says the same on the mustang

Its sad that the camaro motor is 1.2 litres bigger but making about the same as the 5.0
Not a ford fan but always been a stang fan

Small and same power

 

[american_tuner]

Small and same power

Not saying the chevy isn't a good motor im just amazed by the coyote. Hellions turbo kit added 6 psi twin turbo to a stock motor and make over 600hp insane

[rdss]

And a twin turbo on the 6.2. A measily 625hp/trq...lol

Stock dyno time around 1:30
Twin Turbo dyno around 5:00

Based on what I'm seeing....I'd keep the sonic....the 140 looks pretty cool though. I'm kinda with swordsmith on this one. I was looking for a bad a$$ hatch and that's what I got. If I wanted a coupe then I more than likely would've gotten a scion tc. Had an xb for 5 and a half years until it got totaled in August. GREAT car.

 

[american_tuner]

Back on topic i am pretty happy with this car. I got it for gas mileage and its been good. Ive racked up the mileage as well. Only downside so far has been the water pump. I do apologize getting off topic. This 130r just doesnt do anything for me.
