205 hp 200 ftlbs stock, looks like some nice mods to install including that pulley!

Don't think they had an LSD factory, but it uses the same basic trans as Saab 9-5s, which have a ton of cheap torsen type lsds floating around on eBay.

I like them a lot, I think they are pretty comparable in setup to the Cobalt SS. From what I understand the suspension is set up pretty well right out of the box. I don't know too much about that powertrain though...is a head gasket failure common on these engines at 86,000 mi?

This is a crazy good deal. I'd love to pick this up. Do the head gasket and this thing at least doubles its resale value.
