panamajack Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Cool cars. I want one. Too bad they have a solid rear axle, but on the other hand tuners have been able to make them handle very well with little modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I want a Saturn Sky RedLine. Now those are frigging awesome!!! Wait, I don't mean to hijack - I'll start my own thread. Back on topic - Cabalt SS's are cool little cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'm just wondering how they supercharged a 4 cylinder car and only got 200 HP out of it. What did it start with..... 50 HP? _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

bradlgt21 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 there is no new SRT-4. well at least neon that is. there is the srt-4 calibur. Its 300 hp but its one of those half car half suv things and it is just as fast as a stock neon srt-4. But way heavier so not as much modding potential.

ChruiSSer Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'm driving a Cobalt LS right now while my car is in the shop. It's not that bad. It has decent power for what it is, and I'm getting 30mpg beating the crap out of it. On a side note, last year I raced a black Cobalt SS on the parkway and boy was I suprised. He must have been modded, because I was running my STi swap. From about 70ish I would be in 4th and wail it. He would immediately pull about 1/2 car every time, but then I would reel him in till about 90 and then start pulling. I was suprised though. For the money, it's not that bad.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I do like the sound of the s/c though. But like someone said, 200hp? That's all they can get with a s/c? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I don't particularly enjoy this little runabout's looks, but it's hard to deny that it's got some potential - and is definitely, so far (until that shoebox from Dodge steps up), one of the best little affordable pocket-rockets around. Now from the standpoint of a guy who grew up with DSMs, it's hard not to love. Isn't the Cobalt SS, with factory backing, doing pretty well in the road-racing circles? And I though that with the same support, it's also won several "tuner shootouts," correct? ^ Genuine questions. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 OK.... As far as Performance goes I know quite a bit about these....they are very popular @ the local meets. Chevrolet offers Stage kits....that are covered under the 3/36k mfr warranty Stock 205hp Stage I 230hp Stage II 245hp They do not have what you will call a stage III, but one guy I know has several mods on top of the stage II kit such as... Honed manifold Cat-Back Billet Crankshaft The dealer installed ALL of the parts & told him they would bump the hp by another 25 bringing him up to 270. He had the car dynoed on a Mustang in Orlando, it was putting down 248 @ the front wheels. I do not remember what he said his Tq figures were:rolleyes: Now listen to this.... Grand total for all his mods..................**including Labor** about 3,500 That is on top of a 24K purchase price....so he now has a very quick Cavalier that is almost 30K:eek: I will say this.....we ran once. It was a very close race if it were not for my launch he might have won....I had him by about a car when we shut down. **Get a Mustang GT MT 24,500** Headers/Throttle Body/catback/STS/Cold air intake/tune........1,900 There....now you have a car costing about the same that will put down about 325hp & 350Tq. It will get about the same gas mileage also;) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. http://www.grandamerican.com/Events/SessionResults.asp?SessionID=669 http://superstreetonline.com/eventcoverage/130_0511_timeattack/ But according to that video on streetfire its not the best street racing car so it must suck And the car may only be 200 hp stock, but the Ecotec has tons of potential.

deimos Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yup. http://www.grandamerican.com/Events/SessionResults.asp?SessionID=669 http://superstreetonline.com/eventcoverage/130_0511_timeattack/ But according to that video on streetfire its not the best street racing car so it must suck And the car may only be 200 hp stock, but the Ecotec has tons of potential. The cobalt SS is underrated, many dynos have shown power to be in the area of 220 fwhp, 190 trq. Some guys are pulling low-low 14s stock as long as they have the LSD. That cobalt in the vid must have some nawzz or something, if not it sure is a runner Still, awd ftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euclid Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 The Cobalt is not a Cavalier. It's a completely new design from the ground up. Why they thought it would be a neat idea to not give the new platform IRS, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
