My "New" 07 Gt

[07GTDriver]

Greetings all,
Just joind the Crusier faimly and wanted to say hi. I sumbled on a 2007 GT 5-speed still sitting on a dealer lot. It only had 4700 miles on it. They had the thing priced almost at fire sale prices. I couldn't pass the price, that and my other car literally died in their lot and they woldn't take it as a trade. I already snooped around here and have been taking note of a few things. I do want to mod the engine but there's not a lot out for the 07 model. It's stock w/230bhp. I want to chip it but it sounds like s1 might help me. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Welcome.....

We always can use new blood here!
I was told that if you had a HO Turbo 5 speed ...the stage 1 only kicks it up about 10 hp....not the 60 they say.....that only happens on the regular turbo esp with the autostick....

Enjoy your new ride!

You got 230 hp and want more??? I'd kill for even 175. Maybe on day...

Thanks for the welcome.

I like what you did to your PT. What year and is that and is it a functional ram air hood? Are the vents on the side of your hood cosmetic or functional?

Stage 1 adds a boost of 10HP at the peak output level, but let me tell you that it is a night and day difference throughout the rev range. Stage 1 is the best bang for the buck out there. It also crisps up the transmission shifts for the automatic folks. Yes the turbo lites go from 180 to 240 so they see the biggest increase but don't let the written specs fool ya!

Stage 1 is a great, factory engineered upgrade! Get it!

Also, check out pynner's post about "Stage 1 done..." in the Stage Turbo kits section.
