272 Cobalt SS
http://forums.gminsidenews.com/showt...8&page=1&pp=20
I found this link at another site. The car is supposed to have 270hp which isn't bad but the hood looks really gay like GM pasted it on there so it looks cool. The wing also is not helping its looks either.

if the engine isnt forged, atleast to the point that its neon competitor is, i doubt it will sell very well. on the other hand, who would have though that the civic would be a huge success?

Ditch the wing.. the hoodscoop isn't too bad, but I'd prefer it gone as well.. and give it a forged bottomend.. and put it under 20k, and I'll buy it for a daily driver
Peace,

i think 270HP isnt stock from the factory, i think thats the most you can get out of it without upgradeing the bottom end, and you will need a smaller SC pulley to make make more boost, ill take one for a daily driver minus the body kit

I'm with ya on that on that one. The hood scoop needs a little more thought but it's a nice little pocket rocket. It's my understanding that the Cobalt is much better built than the Cavalier was . Finally , GM is starting to see the light on the import craze. Some guys are gonna want a 4cyl instead of a V8 , don't understand that logic but whatever yanks your crank ,I suppose. Too bad they're about 5 years late on cashing in on "The Fats and the Curious".
