so who here has beaten cobalts?



the redheaded step child SS with the 2.4 came in an automatic. not that that car should have been considered an SS.

I will draw the line here and just say in general both cars a great cars and pretty quick for their class. i forget that anything can happen when a car is modded, stock vs stock is what i really would compare and and ya the cobalt can win. When modded anything goes, i would like to get a cobalt since my bro just told me how great the cobalt is but there is not Automatic out there is there?

EDIT: You said a mouth full Stealthee, ill shut it before i make and even bigger fool of me self.

You can get an automatic balt.

Just find a 2.4.

Buy ZZP's turbo kit.

The transmission can take it.
 
Looks like I popped back in time for a good thread relevant to my interests. Owned 2 cobalts and a GP, had a base sedan Balt, a modded TC Balt that made 300 whp 360 tq on very minor mods and a tune, and a sedan gt gp. Grand prix was a good dd but the cobalt was a lot more fun to drive. Not only quick in a straight line, but they handle fantastically.
 


^^ i might be wrong here, but im pretty sure every set of headers available for w-bodies come with their own downpipe.

Thanks for the info, but i doubt having money aside to but a turbo kit but ive heard the kit can make the 2.4 a easy high 13 sec car, is true? Either way ill look into it, it maybe very cheap to buy im guessing the car that is.

EDIT: i found that the 2.4l SS can do 0-60 in 7.1 1/4 mile in 15.6, but its the manual. What would the Automatic do it in? Stock

Are you guys ****ing retarded? nothing replaceds a DP its kind of a necessary thing to carry your exhaust from the headers down the back of the engine to your cat, if you so choose to have one, and out.

Long tube headers = no need for a downpipe.

High 13's?

ZZP was cutting into the 11's on E85 I'm pretty sure.

And quit with the edit ricer math crap...I ran a 16 flat in my base Cobalt...with an auto. A 5spd car with .2 liters more displacement and most likely better tires and upgraded suspension shouldn't have any issue being faster than a 15.6...but meh, whatevs.

It was just seats and the badge. Knew a kid with a yellow one and paid the price for the badge and seats

And it had the suspension, bodykit, brakes, catback...it is basically the SS/SC without the blower and the boost gauge and the cool little SS gauge cluster.

I wonder why they didnt offer the sc in the auto? Someone earlier in the thread said the trans could handle it...

Well i look into it, Also did search for the 2.4 and only found one within 400miles of where i live and ya i think it might be gone by the time i have money to buy it. Either way thanks for the info that opens up another option when i go looking for a car for myself.
 
I raced my buddies ss/sc on the track here after my topswap. He couldnt get traction he says. I got about a 1/2 second better than him while trapping at least 3mph faster if i remember correctly.
 
Cobalt + wheel hop = true story.

Ingalls TD, Upgraded Axles, ZZP Solid Upper Left Mount, and Flipped Lower Mounts kill most of it.
