2014 Chevy Sonic Turbo

Post by sonicboost14 »

I'll volunteer as a guinea pig! I've got a '14 Sonic Turbo hatchback 6 speed manual. Its 2wks old with 400 miles. I talked to the your rep at the Super Summit show on Saturday and was interested. There is a large community of Sonic and Cruze owners looking for options. We only have the Trifecta tune and Vtuners right now. Options are good!

You may have to pull a Lebron and come to S. FL LOL. It won't be any help if you are in Ohio or even if you have a dyno by you. They normally keep your vehicle for a day or two for in-house testing.

perfect timing....we were just discussing these cars :)

Can you give me the VIN so we can get the files from GM, and get prepped to get you in here for some dyno time?

Yup, free tune, free tuner ;)

Whats the big deal about posting it? I've never understood that. Same thing with the license plate. Anybody who ever sees the car can get both just by looking at it.

I'll post mine; WBAKC8C51BC434352
2021 BMW M550i xDrive
BMC Drop ins, JB4

2010 Nissan Murano beater

we'd like to get going like yesterday, but we have some things to catch up on as far as the engineering/tool side to get ready, and of course stuff like the new 8 Speed C7 showing up, but we are on all of it :)

We're looking towards later this week or early next week to begin tune development on this. Are you still wanting to be a part of this?

Being present for the dyno is a tough one, as insurance issues prevent us from allowing non employees in the dyno area.

We usually try to have the car unstrapped and ready to go when its picked up, as we usually dyno and then do some street testing to verify everything.

We will shoot some good HD video of the car on the dyno and put together a nice promo video, and we'll gladly share that footage with you!
