Aw well....:(
So, I'm assuming your '08 Cobalt doesn't have it? Sorry for being a smart ass, but if you've never driven a Camaro with it, you just don't understand. I'd say my annoyance with it was solely due to my muffler delete, but for me it's not the sound, it's the vibration. When you're driving at relatively slow speed, say 40mph, and push on the throttle ever so slightly to maintain speed on a slight grade, those poor 4 cylinders make the whole car shudder trying to make 3,900+ lbs. overcome gravity....very annoying. For now I'm ok with the tap up-shift and the consistantly precise rev. matching downshifts, but doggone it I paid for an automatic and I'm sure in the future there will be times when I'll want to be lazy and just let the car do it for me, but......
Like others have said, if it didn't kick in 'til 55 it would probaly not be a problem.

The day they (the GOVERNMENT) does all that then I might just worry about my little carbon foot print. Get bent EPA
Yeah, Ice Man, us motorheads aren't exactly the biggest green offenders. Oh, but wait, there are sooo many of us. I suppose the optimistic way for all of us to look at this is to realize that the demise of cars like ours is probably in the not too distant future and be happy with what we have. Good 'nough?
