tell me something, do you always follow the rules? no. if you can't have alittle fun every now and then, what's the point? to drive from point A 2 B and then after 8 hrs B 2 A? sounds like loads of fun to me, where do I sign up? when's the last time you toped your car out? do you even know the top speed of your car? when's the last time you took that big turn alittle faster than you were safe with and relized that 'hey, that was fun, I think i like this car, lets do that again'? when's the last time you get to know your car and your car got to know you?
When you've lost friends and family in car accidents that should not have happened for some stupid reason...this being one of them, you try to make it a point not to do this kinda thing. No i dont follow all the rules, i am human, and i have toped out a car, just not my economical Caliber. I toped out my last car, Cobalt SS 2.4L, at 131 MPH....ya know where that was?? at the track so dont patronize jerk, Obviously you wont learn and to tell you the truth i could care less if you learn the hard way. So i am done with you sir and this subject, good luck shortning your life in the dumbest way possible

I just dont grasp the concept of why a topic created to give us some cool info on what the caliber can do, regardless of it bustin the internals or not, who cares, its at the drivers expense.

The guy just wanted to give us some fun information, (and I do know alot of us appreciate it...I know I do) and you guys decided to turn it into debate, which was alright, then it changed into an argument which we do not need. As you said Texas, the topic is over!

I do understand where you're coming from Texas, because the loss of a loved one can change you drastically but after awhile you have to realize its life and its gonna occur whether you like it or not.

I lost plenty of loved one's myself, due to them not following the rules and sometimes following the rules to the t. like you said that's life, you have to take it. and I appoligize texas, because I know I sounded like a jerk. forgivin or not, I will stand with what I said

If you do it right, you can drift your AWD car. its nothing sideways but you are sliding. My friends were impressed that I could slide an AWD car. Give it a shot
Do you have any performance mods that help the car get started drifting?

No, no performance mods. Just the R/T with autostick. I might shoot a video when it warms up here in MN.
