Lets give this a shot!
March 2022, was looking for a comfortable economy car. Happened to find this 2011 Cruze RS with 148K Miles, for ~$4K.
While the fuel economy was great ~33mpg highway ~28mpg city, I quickly began to realize the lack of "guts".
Down the rabbit hole I went, nothing crazy, but enough to make the car more drivable... Based off what feels like limited info, id like to shoot for about 250HP at the crank.
