camaro ss vs cobalt ss

[SilverTurtle]

a six speed 1SS Camaro is going to beat any Cobalt SS that is stock... no matter whether its a SC or TC model... the Camaro has more engine, more chassis refinement and its designed to be faster... its just that simpe.

my dad has a basic cobalt, manual everything, and it's alot quicker than i expected. I can't even imagine what an ss cobalt with a stick would feel like...

Compromises, compromises...

I like the interior of my Cobalt. Nothing wrong with it, sure it's not 'fine corinthian leather', but it is functional, comfortable, and well put together.

As for failing at RWD, IRS, its a different design not a failure.

Back to the original question, since this is in the 4th gen forum.

A stock Cobalt SS will hang with and can beat a stock LT1 Camaro SS.
A stock Cobalt SS won't hang with a stock LS1 Camaro SS.
A stock Cobalt SS won't hang with a 5th Gen Camaro SS.

I cant wait to see what numbers the cobalt SS/TC will get when the GMPP stage kit comes out. GM is willing to warranty some pretty good numbers. The kit is already out on the LNF solstice/sky and HHR.

•2007 & 2008 Solstice/Sky Manual 290 Hp @5200 rpm and 340 ft-lbs @3600
•2007 & 2008 Solstice Auto 290 Hp @5200 rpm and 325 ft-lbs @3600
•2008 HHR SS Manual and Auto 290 Hp @5200 rpm and 315 ft-lbs @4800

340ft-Lbs under warranty in a car that light is nothing to look past. At the same time though, i'll never buy another FWD car.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Cobalt SS is the fastes FWD vehicle around the nurburgring. It is nothing to scoff at. That being said, Camaro SS>Cobalt SS

P.S. I was also looking at some statistics in the car and driver magazine and on a racetrack the cobalt ss showed better performance against both the new STI and EVO

Is it really in question? It shouldn't be, the Camaro SS is up the ladder from the Cobalt SS and will perform at a higher level than the Cobalt SS.

Your P.S. though is a different question. It's unclear at this time how a Camaro SS will stack up on a road track. I've only seen rumors and nothing confirmed. The rumor I saw was 8:19 at the 'ring. If that's true, that puts them pretty close. We'll see soon enough.

i like the Cobalt SS. If i was buying a smaller car like that, hands down a Cobalt SS. No comparison to the Camaro SS. Your comparing apples to oranges. Raced a new tc cobalt ss with a couple mods and i still wiped him up badly. I had American Racing Headers though.

2 year old thread. lol

Cobalt SS stands no chance.

I have no idea what you just said. And now a sudden urge to put a palm on my face, or gun in my mouth. Whatever it takes to forget that you seriously just used "Maro" AND "house" as a verb in the same sentence.

And all the while, sporting a gross exaggeration. Whaddya know?

I owned a heavily modified 07 Cobalt SS/SC and I could keep up with C5 Vettes all day. I know we're talking stock here, but don't think for a second that those SS Cobalts are slow. I've surprised a lot of people with mine.

I used to own a 2008 Cobalt SS/TC and when I traded to the camaro V6 i was thoroughly DISSAPOINTED!!!





My Cobalt SS was taking on V6 5th Gens and Challenger R/Ts and winning!!! miss that carrr!!! 320WHP and 355WTQ

I first posted that you need to get an SS.
I'd probably be a little disappointed with a V6 Camaros performance after owning the cars I've also owned the past 10 years.
H/C LS1 z28, Stage 4 WRX, Stage 2 STi, H/C 05 GTO, Cammed, stalled 06 GTO, and now a bolt on 10 Camaro SS.

But I see you now have an SS. Time to start modding and hopefully you won't be disappointed anymore.
