but I wish it had a bit more low-end torque and, somewhere in the power band between 50 and 70 mph, I'd like it to be able to get around those semi-trucks just a little bit faster on those 2-lane roads. I also wish it wasn't so white, but I wanted the 5-speed.I think I can live with everything else. Any mod suggestions would be entertained.2-tone Vibe'06 Frosty/gray claddingBase w/manualno mods yet

eh 06. but nice price tag. not bad for sure if you only wanted the 6MT. 163 bhp? just get your I/E/H/Unichip and you're there.

You can *definitely get from 55ish to 80+ in a hurry.

IHE and Unichip will get a base Vibe to 160ish hp? Is this true?

do some research. you will be very very close. regardless, you will be just as fast as a stock 06 GT imo.
