How does the Cobalt SS match up with the SRT-4, please...no biased oppinions. Have any of you been on a test drive in one?

 

Like I said online 205bhp. Lucky if it puts 190whp. Cute looking....wayyy too much money for the lack of power. a Cobalt SS is an easy lunch for an srt-4

 

Most likely about mid 14s except for exceptional driver, about 6ish 0-60. Fit and finish a hair better, body rigidity the same. Enough to make up for the lower performance at the same price? Personal choice. Right now GM is talking up kits like we have, but all we've seen is a list of internal engine parts and the name of parts to (hopefully) be supplied by aftermarket suppliers. No way to tell til it happens or not.

 

Oh, and sexy, amazingly, they so far are actually seeing about 205-210 at the wheels. Still not quite enough, but nice to see whp for a change.

 

Yeah from what I read before they weren't getting too much out of it in the production stages. I just think for over $26 grand...why bother?? Same thing with the Ion Redline. They're more expensive than we are...yet we put out so much more. And personally, I feel we look better too.

But still 210 is weak. For a car that costs that much money.

 

i read that they are 21,095 or something

 

Base is $21,995.

I built a "fully loaded" one.

Funny thing is...you have to PAY to add dual-stage frontal airbags....wtf is that?? Thats a bit ghetto. They do have an STS stock, and 18s though. And I added the onstar because if EVER I got a chevy or GM (which I wouldnt) I would have the OnStar in it. When I detailed for Chevy I would sometimes be in the truck/car when they were setting it up for a customer. Once I was in a Hummer that was burnt orange. And the OnStar guy asked the sales person what color it whats he went "uhhh". I said "Its the most HIDEOUS burnt orange you ever did see! WOW!" And the OnStar guy started laughing his *** off. Its pretty cool to talk to your car LOL.

The first two images are NOT SS Coupes. Their LS's the blue with the sport appearance package.
They copied Dodge with the available colors:
Black
Sunburst Orange Metallic
Ultra Silver Metallic
Rally Yellow
Victory Red
Arrival Blue Metallic

Only difference being that all colors are available in all years. Unlike Dodge which kept the Standard SRT colors (Silver Black Red) each year and added one extra (or in the case of 04 two, with EProduction Solar Yellow)

The warranty they have sucks.
In addition to the standard 3-year/36,000-mile (whichever comes first) New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Chevy Cobalt comes with a 5-year/60,000-mile (whichever comes first) Powertrain Promise Limited Warranty.

BWA HA HA 7/70 OWNZ JOO! (if you have an 04 SRT)

If you wanna know anymore....head here to Chevy's official site, I pretty much summed it all up for you. Early next year we'll have some new cars to eat up on the roads and tracks. http://www.chevrolet.com/cobalt/index.jsp

Here's some better pictures. Personally I don't like the back AT ALL. I think the fronts okay though, I would consider it a "cute" car....girlie almost. Just like the Cavis are and were. But it seems like every damned picture I find is of the *** end of the car! [>:]









Still don't know if I like it, or if its worth almost 25 grand (after tax title and reg) But to each his own

 

To me it looks like a Tiburon rip off. The Cobalt SS is in no way competition for the SRT-4, it's more for what it seems to be a rip off of, the Hyundai Tiburon.

 

Nope....no competition at all. People are gonna think it is though, cause the general consensus is still "its just a neon" Oh well more fun to eat up on the streets.

Now a question. I know **** about SCs. Isn't a TC'd car much easier to modify than an SC'd car? I would think a TC'd car would be better than an SC'd car as far as what you can get out of it and make it do. J/W.
