Bought a new ‘05 Malibu hatchback. Splurged and got the SuperSport addition for less than 30K just before oil prices went up. It’s not the prettiest car but it is fun to drive. It has awesome handling and powerful acceleration.

At some point I would like to try putting either a turbocharger or nitrous system into it.

My only complaint with the car is that at 130 mph it’s got some serious vibration. :)

hahaha nice!

I actually like the looks of the new Malibu; it somewhat resembles the Acura (TL?).

My weapon of choice is my ‘97 Z28...I’ve hit the 130s in it...she actually shakes slightly at 95, starts calming down at 100, and is frighteningly smooth from 110 on...I love it!
