My Metro likes to chill out when it goes up the hill. You know... to enjoy the scenery. |

Ah, so my Metro is a sports car (does not struggle to get up anything I've thrown at it so far)

Any car that has to be floored and usually downshifted and can't really accellerate because of a small hill isn't a sports car. Hell, my 2003 Chevy Cavalier coupe struggled up hills. |

Well, yeah, I did down shift to climb the 7%-8% grade, it's 5-6 miles long. I was doing 60-65 (70+), ahead of the Audi and F250, with power to spare, ie pull away. I don't think they were getting 50 mpg any part of that day. Ah, the limits of having just 3 cylinders. I'm going to go out and do some drifting after this.

Audi A4 is the best car blah blah blah i can get 1,000,000MPGS and everything is better than a metro. You will never pass my A4 ever up a hill.

I go up a small mountain going to and coming home from work using 1/4 gas pedal in a 96 5spd 4 cyl Metro in 5th gear, if I want to I can accelerate by going to 1/2 pedal on the grade, and I have passed cars such as Mini coopers on said mountain in 5th gear @ over 70 mph. By your stated definition, I have a sports car, I've never had to either downshift nor floor my gas pedal to get over a mountain, never mind a small hill. Maybe its my big block making all the difference

Maybe the point was missed. I was saying bullshit to what I was saying. |

I really hope to meet you one day. I swear, every thread I read where I have something important to add... you get there right before me and make the same point I was going to. Other times I post my important info and you come along and corroborate it. My first Swift GTi had the springs torched before I bought it. They were mangled. Hell, 2 of them actually didn't do anything. I could reach in when the car was on a lift and rattle the springs around because they were off both of the perches. Honestly, yo could do a lot to the springs on these cars and they'll forgive you. It was weird ordering "lowering" springs that actually raised my vehicle ride height... Also, if B+G still makes springs I'd recommend them. Great performance and they were powder coated bright red. |

Yeah Woodie is the shit. I met him and we talked geo and drank many beers. He informed me of many things that I had no clue about such as why our seatbelts are so long on 90-94 metros. |

Yes, I missed the point. Totally, My apologies, 944door. I edited my original post. I get it now! On topic, again, I would lower my Geo except for the header and Cat. are only giving me 4" of clearance and there are some pretty deep ruts in the snow around here.
