Some red turbo S action

[VA bugn]

Not my listing, but just passing it along. Nice looking ride.

My heart skipped a beat! I thought you had purchased a TS, I was thinking man, everyone is getting a TS but me

[VA bugn]

LOL. Seems we're one of the only ones still driving a 2.0 also . That one looks to be a great ride, just a tad pricey I think. But, for someone not too concerned with $$, it will be a fun ride.

Actually I thinks it's priced pretty decent for the mileage. If it were black or silver I would consider looking at it.

Oh I would love to jump on it! I say yes, but the wallet says no. LOL. Hope someone here would consider giving this baby a nice spot in their garage

Price is not bad for what I have been seeing. I am still waiting for some one to give me a platinum gray ts with Beautiful red and Orange flames and brand new wheels and tires (and oxygen sensor), maybe the owner would have a long beard. I think there might be some one that fits that description

I need to ask PG how much he got for auctioning off the wife and kids? I do have that option yet.(Mrs. gonna kill me when she reads this tonight! )

The red ones always get shunned!

I don't have a TS either. A RED one. Wish I had extra ca$h for it.

As much as I love the styling of the TS I would not give up my 2.0 for it .... maybe I can have a 2.0 TS ?

The reliability of my car is amazing! Almost 4 years and no major issues! I don't know of any turbo that can claim that without significant preventative maintenance and monies spent.

I think if you drove one you might change your mind............ And as far as preventative maintenance, even your 2.slo needs the same preventative maintenance as a 1.8T. Now I know you love your 2.0, but not half as much as I love my TS.

I drove this (WOW! I drove this today.. 375HP) and I prefer my 2.0. It all depends on what you want out of a car. The way I drive my 2.0 the only real practical advantage of a turbo be it TS or 1.8 on everyday road is a faster take off. I'll stick with my 2.Slow. Hehe.. I dont have to fix a turbo

... creeping up on 4 years and loving every slow moment!

Off topic but to follow up on your mopar experience, the original hemi 426ci produced a whopping 427 hp... imagine that, right off the assembly plant.

As far as the TS, I don't want to give up my 2.0 but I want a TS and that's the end of it.

You really cant put the Hemi Challanger in the same class as a NB......... The advantage of a turbo can be used in more then just the take off. Passing cars, climbing hills, merging into highway traffic, is all done a lot easier, and a little safer with a touch of boost. IMO

....
..more power to the TS!

OK... I'll behave now.

your not alone , i have 2 of the 2.0's

This was 1 of my last cars (not this exact one but 1 of the 500 made) and my TS is ALMOST as fun to drive as that car was. If I would have heard myself say that 3 years ago, I would have said "commit me now"!
