OK got me there, the Cavalier has sat in my driveway for 6 years getting nothing but upkeep maintenance, I don't even think about it in term of cars I have because it is mostly around because I cannot bring myself to get rid of it.

OK so I looked into the DSC and that does not cut the ABS but cutting DSC and TC does, in fact it looks like its the TC system that adds more power to the ABS system causing this problem, hopefully there will still be some ice on my road when I get home so I can test this out.

Well considering the fact that I have not had a car without ABS since I was in high school (good ol' 89 ford escort gt) and every car I have owned since has had over 280hp with big brake setups I in fact can knock the far too over-sensitive MS3 ABS system, it seems to have gotten so safe it has...

Well I am ordering some snow tires today after I check if my Cavalier steelies will fit over the calipers, the main concern I have is the extent to which the cars computer kicks in the ABS, I have never been a fan of performance cars that have so much computer interference but what are you gonna...

If the car was sliding I would have never posted, the car is 1 month old and everything is still stock at this point, I understand that the tires will cause sliding and terrible handling in snow, especially with performance dry weather tires, my complaint wasn't that the car was sliding its that...

So I had my first experience in the snow with this car and the ABS scared the living hell out of me, I was coming to a T intersection at 25mph and went to apply the brakes (yes gently of course) and the brake pedal went in maybe a quarter of an inch before the ABS kicked in harder than it has in...

I compare my MS3 to a 1999 orange Lamborghini Diablo GT and cry myself to sleep at night.

well obviously someone cares or these types of threads would not exist, a lot of people want to hear that their car is faster than XXX car, makes them feel better about their purchase. Unfortunately a lot of those people end up being the ones that have to insult every other car out there, SRT is...

I Just got myself a MS3 2 days ago, I took a jump from a highly modded NSRT4 to Cobalt ss/sc to this, I got all the WTF posts too, good to see someone coming over here, thats a real nice car you had. BTW, it looks like the folk at PTperformance may be onto what is causing the engines to blow so...

the SRT had a 3 year production run and MANY of the mods out now did not appear until the production had ended, people with turbo cars tend to spend a large amount of money for a long time getting to that next level of speed so companies are willing to spend the R&D developing new products well...

They kept the car basic because the SRT team was basically making a point, they managed to pack a LOT of HP into a reliable engine but cut a lot of comfort features of the car to save money, you can push almost 400hp on that engine without replacing stock internals, if you look at the original...

I really dig what you did here man, I HATE the flying M emblems but that makes it look pretty damn nice. Not to derail but has anyone come out with non Mazda emblems to replace the stocks yet? If not I might end up doing a white with black stripes for my car.

I just got my 09 MS3 yesterday, I had a silver 04 SRT-4 HEAVILY modded, then went to a 07 Cobalt ss/sc moderately modded and now this car, my SRT-4 was WAAAAAY faster than this MS3 but the aftermarket is ridiculous for that car, getting 300whp is cheap and easy, I made it over that with no...
