Default Re: Review: 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser is a tarnished Golden Oldie

What hurts this car more than anything else is the fact that the turbo has been severely downgraded in hp, and saddled with an automatic. No wonder its less than impressive these days. The lackluster performance reviews would read MUCH differently if they still had the 230 hp H.O. turbo and 5spd manual.

'00 Jeep Wrangler Sport: 2" BDS lift and swaybar disconnects, 32" BFG a/t's on Eagle 10-hole wheels. Fabtech front bumper, K&N cold air intake.

'03 PT Cruiser GT 5spd: removed muffler and airbox silencer future planned mods are K&N typhoon intake, 2" rear lowering springs, hopefully some kind of old skool mag style wheels, and possibly at least a stage 1 turbo upgrade. Oh and i GOTTA get rid of those $#@!'in flame decals!
