My friend gets mid/high 20's in his and he is about 100whp past what a stage 3 could hope for.

I was actually on my way to buy a srt4 and stopped at a chevy dealer first. The cobalt felt more put together. I'm also going to be auto-xing the car and didn't want the turbo lag, then unpredictable wheel spin when the turbo spools up. Plus the cobalt handles a lot better stock. last but not least........ cobalt giant gay wing>srt4 giant gay wing.

I would rather drive a beat up SS any day over a front wheel drive econobox. But to each their own.

well if you're happy, thats all that matters.

but suggesting an srt-4 should be mutiny.

the reason why i ditched the ss was because of driving it through the winter, it gets annoying with lots of hills and inclines and declines. to each there own, why post then? Its not like I was asking your opinion.

lol...there not bad cars, I just can't see myself spending that kind of money on something that has roll up windows in the back, it wouldn't be as bad if it had it in the front too. I just loved the power of the srt4, but am definatly happy with this, everyone should go test drive them, on the street its way more then enough.

No, a cavalies is ugly too, but at least the Cobalt looks pretty good, has a nicer interior, and as stated is made by GM. SRT4's just don't seem as cool. Maby if it was a two door. And yes I know, Evo's and STI's have four doors, but they seem to pull it off better in the looks department. But this is just all my own opinion.

Glad your happy with your purchase.

Cobalt SS/SC sounds like a real nice car.
However, I would have went with the SRT-4. I love them.

Anyways, enjoy your car... keep us posted over time.

My friend races SCCA and does extremely well in his big-turbo SRT. By the numbers an SRT4 handles VERY COMPARABLE to an S2k.

BLKWS.6

Quafe diff.
Tokico struts (Illuma 5-way on the ACR model)
Sachs clutch
Auto-meter guages (which my friend verefied with his live-display tuning software to be DEAD ON).

ect. ect.

The SRT4 is basically an aftermarket creation put togather by SRT.

i woulndt have traded the ss but as long as your happy its all good

TORK?

Heck, I'd do it: decent fuel economy, good looks, and good performance. I haven't driven one, but they look like fun little cars. Not to mention the hassle free living of a 10k mile 1 y/o car vs 100k mile 6 y/o. Decent feul economy, good looks, good performance. Sounds like a good pick up!

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, the parts on them are awesome. But I can't get passed the fact that it's a neon, but thats just me.

I test drove a cobalt ss and it felt way slower than my camaro. Its a very nice car though

CobaltSS > SRT-4
Looks better, can be made just as fast as a neon can, 2 door, not a Mopar

Your SS must have been a turd? I can't see a cobalt being as fast as a good running stocl ls1 (ps I'm no ls1 fan). I do however hope you enjoy it.

The 08' caliber srt-4 is 300hp/260t and doesn't look too bad.

less neon looking.

high 90s compared to 104-106mph (common stock trap speeds for an LS1) are not even close in terms of SOTP feel. My TPI car trapped in the high 90s, it felt dirt slow for the second half of a 1/4 mile compared to a stock LS1.

Either way, the Cobalt SS/SC is a pretty cool little car, if you're into that. Main thing is, it's a GM. Big plus in my book. Have fun, that's what it's all about.

I would of brought one and kept my SS. If I had to live with only 1 car and it was fwd I would go crazy. I'm glad you got a good trade in amount for your SS
