B-Spec Kit on crateenginedepot.com

[lattyd]

I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere, however cruising around the interwebs i stumbled across this page:
Sonic Performance Parts

It looks like they have place-holders for most of the B-Spec Sonic gear.. including a re-calibrated ABS controller and ECM.

If this is a duplicate discussion, feel free to delete but i wasn't able to find it via my site search or Google search.

Thanks

I like that they picked the wrong picture for the upper strut mount...confused the hell out of me for a minute.

I'm curious what the shocks will cost by themselves....probably overpriced vs street kits like other b-spec stuff tends to be

If any of it is released for sure. Might not be.

I was doing the same search the other day. The photos are from the Chevy's performance website. Basically copy and paste.

Be interesting to see what the bspec ecm is

It all has to be released if Chevy wants to compete in b-spec

from some random likely to be not trustworthy blog:

"GM also announced it would sell a special kit that can be used to transform the subcompact Chevrolet Sonic into a race car. The B-Spec modifications will be sold in the first quarter of 2013 at Chevrolet Performance retail locations with pricing starting at nearly $3,000, said Jim Campbell, GM’s U.S. vice president of performance vehicles and motorsports."

That would be surprisingly low for including an ecm and abs unit edit: the stock ecm and abs module are $100/130 respectively? wow nevermind. I love how cheap parts are for this car.

What I find interesting is the shock mounted coilovers. I think we are being cheated.!

 

[firstorbit84]

Why are we being cheated?

 

[$ub$onic]

So a abs re calibration kit... wonder what that will do

The photos are from Chevy's SEMA display for the Sonic. I remember seeing them up close. Basically double copy and paste....

 

[firstorbit84]

Probably disable all traction control without disabling abs, or disable everything with a switch instead of pulling a fuse

 

[$ub$onic]

Might b worth it

 

[Inferno]

Shock mounted coilovers would be a lot more stable and go moar lowz

CED is going to be the best place to get this, when it is released.

It will be released in 2013.

I had dinner the other night with the guy who *is* CED, and he was trying his best to get me to be the first to pick this up. Funny, funny man he is. Not gonna happen. I don't need two racecars. But will be a pretty sweet package for those who still need their first racecar.

How will the suspension ride on the street? Is it dampening adjustable?

 

[wingman]

Sounds interesting. I would like to see some testing.
