Yeah. I think I'm going with a Cobalt still. I'd like a turbo one but those are still about 2k over my price range.

i know its out of your price range but its so worth it to get a turbo one. better brakes, suspension, and their stock dyno numbers are higher than stage 2 ss/sc's.

Yeah, that is true. I do like the turbos a lot more. There's aren't that many around my area either. Depending on what I can find this summer I may be able to get a loan. We'll see what happens.

Thanks for the info guys!

I got rid of my 08 GP GXP because the trans started to feel funny and I also loved the G8's when they came out.

The grand prix is a better highway cruiser. cause its smoother than the cobalt though.

Plus you wont have tranny problems.
