TheClassicCarKid · 06-20-2009, 01:00 AM

you've summed it up pretty nicely, now what do we discuss? haha

GatorBlue371 · 06-20-2009, 01:51 AM

And its a wrap boys. Time to kick it at the thirsty clam.

The Cobalt SS is a badass little car straight up.

Wesman · 06-21-2009, 07:52 PM

I would love to have an SS/TC for a daily driver. Can't beat the combination of practicality, price, and performance.

Not to play devil's advocate here...but wasn't the SS/TC faster around the 'Ring than the Camaro SS??

69Firebird · 06-21-2009, 09:46 PM

I think the Camaro ran an 8:20, at least thats what this article says:
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=129586
And the Cobalt ran an 8:22.85:

The Camaro probably can't corner as fast, but must blow it away in the straights.

Mosher · 06-21-2009, 11:14 PM

I think a production SS actually did it in 8:19. That's still only 3 seconds on that long track. The Cobalt SS's 8:22 is the fastest production FWD to circle the ring that I know of....

TJ91 · 06-21-2009, 11:42 PM

love the cobalt SS, amazing car

Mazdaboi318 · 06-23-2009, 09:16 AM

I want a camaro ss.....

Hell I am already paying 365 a month for her!

But idk. I am guessing insurance would kill me.... :/

I wonder how the race would go against a Camaro SS though

*Camaro_Corvette* · 06-23-2009, 09:21 AM

Ahem, The Cobalt SS is "destroyed" by the Camaro SS... Me no think so

The Cobalt is definitely a force to be reckon with. Heck I still want one!

Mazdaboi318 · 06-23-2009, 09:24 AM

annnnd i want a camaro....

ill drive her to you!

MrIcky · 06-23-2009, 11:46 AM

I love my Cobalt its an awesome little car, bang for the buck off the chart. I'd rather have a Camaro lol. I hope this doesn't get back to my Cobalt- for me this whole site is sort of like loving my wife but looking at porn.

chrisgalles · 06-23-2009, 12:19 PM

I had the pleasure of testing driving a Cobalt SS/TC a few years ago...needless to say...I got pulled over during the test drive. Salesman was like, "Don't worry, it happens all the time." It definitely is a fun little car. Hopefully GM will make an SS/TC Cruze...Fingers crossed!

LOL, always some CSRT4 guy

.

You know what's cool about Cobalts though? They can turn. Crazy huh? JK,

to you CSRT4 dudes.

Supercamaro64 · 06-23-2009, 02:20 PM

the cobalt ss is an awesome little car, and i would love to have one, but i wud rather just save my money up to buy a camaro

mrgm · 06-23-2009, 02:29 PM

- man I'm gona get beat down.

Most of the autocross listing Ive seen around Texas have the CSRT4 above the Cobalt in ranking. But these are not the large courses.

---

Agreed, I personally would stick with the Camaro

but its soooo ugly! The cobalt is definitely a mean lil piece of machinery... only thing that really kept from looking at one more seriously was the interior. Camaro just blows it away on every level, so meh. Would definitely be a great car to build into racer though

Chris@Livernois · 06-23-2009, 02:54 PM

I have a Cobalt SS/TC for my daily driver and it's definitely fun for what it is.

It has no lift shift and launch control from the factory and makes almost the same amount of power as an S197 Mustang GT from the factory and weighs much less

Stock, mine made 251 WHP / 258 WTQ and with only a tune, it made 279 WHP / 321 WTQ.

Brokinarrow · 06-23-2009, 02:55 PM

28 HP off a tune? wow!

( i have no idea if that is good or not, but it sounds impressive to me! )

It's a turbo car, so it picked up a little bit of boost too, but at 2,600 lbs. and that much down low power, it's a fun little car. It's the increase in torque that made a huge difference. I like picking on other cars, because they just don't expect it

I wouldn't buy it over a Camaro, but it's a fun daily driver...

Here's a few videos of another one we did just a tune on.

These videos and going for a ride in this car are what made me buy one for a DD.

2009 Cobalt SS turbo, stock except Livernois Tune.

(Slight work warning for language)

There's a light chirp as tires scratch for bite. Then comes a sub-5.0-second sled ride to 60 mph. A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
