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

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.

Long tube headers = no need for a downpipe.

You read my thoughts.

Are you ****ing rearded?? You think you have to sit here and explain what a ****ing downpipe is, really?
Come on ya noob. Go get a reading mod before trying to teach people about there exhaust.

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

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...

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.

They do wheel hop, but the should MPH the hell out of a S/C 3800 in the 1/4. Dude needs driver mod.
