There is also one in California. Guy is really nice. Done business with him a few times.
Believe its Ott's Auto.


I would love to have a Saturn parts place...My backyard doesn't count.

Hey Charlie, congratulations on selling the house and the impending move. Wishing you a smooth transition with no drama to mar it. Keep us posted on how things go, and I'll have to see if you're near anywhere we might travel for a meet-up! Safe trip!

Thanks Ginny. We're kind of off the beaten path, but if you go to Orlando, Tampa or Clearwater, we won't be that far away. An hour and a half or so to any of them.

Dave, Port Charlotte is still in the area of Punta Gorda, so what's another couple of miles? LOL Anyway, once the business is up and running, if I need another vehicle, I think I'll contact them and see what they have. If they've got something I'd like at a good price, I'll go check it out. Thanks again for the information!

Aww, I'm gonna totally try and blow his doors off(all five of them)... If he has a performance pack GT, I may have trouble though...

By all means, please post pics of your PT, Rube...

Looking at the specs of an 05 Cruiser GT.
Not bad at all. 2.4 turbo'd. 220/245.


We just weight a little less. Your 0-60 is 7 seconds, our is 6. Guess it would come down to the driver.


Seems to be that you guys only get 8 pounds of boost stock?

Yah, I'm not racing anyone until I get the time to do a little work on it. I need to go through the front end. I think it's got a few items that need replacing, like tie rod ends, end links, sway bar bushings and struts. Not sure about the ball joints. It's too damned hot here to fool with right now, but I'd like to do a tune up and research about how to get a little more boost out of it. Money is very tight now. Anyone want to donate? I'll try to get a few pics up in the next few days. It ain't pretty, but it's paid for and it's MINE!

For more power(when you get to that point), look for the Mopar "Stage" kits... They bolt right into your GT cruiser, and increase boost, etc... Those turbo Mopars are one of the few small cars around that I won't mess with...
