rallispec Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Out of curiousity, has anyone gone head to head with one yet? I was riding along side one last night but neither of us were really looking for a race. (to many cops out last night) But it got me thinking on how it might do against the LGT. just for reference, motortrend got almost the exact same 0-60 and 1/4 mile times with the SS as the SRT4. http://motortrend.com/roadtests/coupe/112_0505_joysticks/index5.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-2.5-GT Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I've actually read quite a few different numbers which have been posted. Not sure which ones to believe. Mag #'s are over exagerated sometimes i think. Most of the numbers i have seen have been mid to high 14's. There is also a 4 door SS which does not have the same engine and is not supercharged.

mmm def Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Those things are moving, 99.3 is a fast trap for a stock SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I actually did have a little back and forth with one on the road a couple of weeks ago. The guy driving it seemed unimpressed with stock SS power, although he still had the 30-day tags on it. Said he was going to drop a new Vette engine in it??? Goin' to Carolina in my mind...and in my car on the 16th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Moving just as fast as the SRT-4..........TO THE SCRAP HEAP:lol: Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutter2k Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Said he was going to drop a new Vette engine in it??? WTF go trade in for a GTO, otherwise Whats that project run $$$ ??? fitment $$ fwd vs rwd fuel mods $$ tranny $$ If he wants a little more, he would be better off just doing a pulley on that supercharger.

rao Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I've done engine swaps myself and they are a lot of fun, but I doubt that particular swap is ever going to happen, and that this guy will actually do it is even more remote.

I figure stock MT SS vs stock MT LGT, would be no problem, I bet stock AT vs stock MT SS would be a good race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghat Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I have seen a Ford Focus with a 5.0 (302) and it was rear wheel drive. Unless you looked at the rear tires it looked stock from the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I saw a writeup on one of those, despite the power the numbers werent as good as a MT LGT, but there was an RS8 (?) Frankenfocus with the Cammer crate engine in it and that thing was walking Lambos !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 There is also a 4 door SS which does not have the same engine and is not supercharged. What makes it an SS then? Sounds like a Cobalt sedan without the SS motor would not be an SS. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

D-2.5-GT Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 My mistake....Post edited... There are actually 3 SS styles.... The 4 door SS will be a 2.4L ecotec with somewhere around 170 something horses...Not available untill next year. Then there are two different SS coupe versions...There is the SS supercharged and the regular NON-supercharged SS as well...getting pictures...

D-2.5-GT Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 The notable items include: * SS coupe and sedan models (2006) with 171-hp (128 kw)* 2.4L Ecotec VVT 4-cyl., 17-in. wheels, FE3 performance suspension, unique exterior and interior appointments * Model lineup includes LS coupe and sedan, LT coupe and sedan, LTZ sedan, SS coupe and sedan and SS Supercharged coupe Biggest differences between SS and SS S/C are obviously engine, but mostly body cladding and rims...these pics are hard to tell the difference, but the one with the lip spoiler is the SS S/C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-2.5-GT Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 no the one with the lip spoiler was the SS S/C which comes with aweful spoiler. This was from some dude who replaced it. IMO it looks MUCH better without it. I can't stand the spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitestar Pilot Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Well, look on the bright side. These are the fastest Cavaliers Chevy has ever built. They've left the Sunfire in the dust this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
