This is mine so far, I miss the Honda scene a bit but I love the new ride as well.

Its stock except for the shorty antenna, 20% tint, Eibach sportlines, K&N drop in filter and a Trifecta tune.

Will Dyno in 2 weeks updates to come

Please comment! I'd like to hear the reception from a generally non-domestic crowd.

[DavidYeh]

I've seen you on cobaltss.net.. never met you i dont think... haha pics up on there as well.

[Harvey Specter]

Looks mean, I like it.

[twitchyzero]

[eurochevy]

yea, high wing is factory option...low wing is standard...but the supercharged ones was the other way around..low wing option high wing standard

[mpower]

what is it now? 250hp? they've upped it from 200 in the earlier SS models.

[Nvasion]

i like

[124Y]

Lookin' good!

[Wykydtron]

I REALLY like these cars. Not completely sold on the appearance, but took one for a spin, and it drives so incredibly nice.

[Great68]

Has your intake charge piping broke yet?

Or have your rear brakes worn out yet?

:p

Looks good in black.

[Black SC2]

260.

I love it. If I could justify a new car right now, that would be one of my top pics.

[time_traveller]

I hear these cars are great bang for your buck, but I feel they look way too generic. Curious that you want to spend your money on a dyno run, why not put the money toward a real intake and exhaust system before hitting the dyno?

I'm also not familiar with what a "trifecta tune" is.

[Shun Izaki]

looks pretty good in black.

just don't put a gawdy kit on it and you're good to go.

[DavidYeh]

Thanks for the good reception!

These cars drive pretty good, as for the problems ahah, well my brakes are fine, my plastic charge pipes are good, never came off or broke or any of that.

Car is at 260hp/260tq stock. With the trifecta tune, cobalts are putting down between 290whp/300wtq to 310whp/320wtq depending on the dyno they are running out.

The trifecta tune for some reason does not like aftermarket intakes such as the Injen/Hahn or Dejon powerhouse, (brands that cater to only domestics for the exception of Injen) so I was asked to keep the stock intake until a company developes one that wont interfere with the tune. Im debating between an exhaust or just throw out the factory restrictive downpipe because I dont want the extra noise.

Ya, im pretty bored with the generic looking exterior, but Im not going to do anything more to the exterior because it'll look really ricy.

Rims/clutch/charge pipe/ downpipe are to come in that order

[!Yaminashi]

Looks good so far, just get some nice wheels

If you dont mind me asking, how much did you get this for?

Put it this way, i don't really support domestic rice either :)

but, if you do your car in a simple manner, put down the numbers that you like. That's all that matters.

While I absolutely despise the interior of the car, everything else is pretty good. I test drove one last summer and it drove great. Lots of thrust from the engine and plenty of grip. I drive a 2007 Civic Si, so the abundance of torque was a welcome change. Although, I still love revving up to 8300 rpm :P

Have fun with the car, looks great so far.

thats useless if theres no power though just the fact that u can say u can rev that high lol, but yea ss/tc is a pretty easy 300hp/tq with just tune ..new factory gm kit brings it up to 290 hp with factory warranty

[q0192837465]

looking good. Black's a good color

[Adsdeman]

Not bad for a domestic. One of the only american cars i would consider.

[albert116]

nice ride man

Always been a fan of the Cobalt SS since they came out a few years back.

Come to think of it, it's the only Domestic vehicle that i would consider.

Regardless of the power, I still find the Si more fun to drive. Part of that fun to drive factor is the invigorating sound and feeling of ripping through the gears at 8k+ RPM. Like I said before, I test drove the SS/TC and it was a good performer, I just didn't find the overall package appealing enough for me.

[ToyotaPowah]

YoungGunna, if you don't mind me asking, what was the OTD price?

[shenmecar]

is this a old pic? where is there still snow?

[77civic1200]

Cypress

[Leopold Stotch]

i won't make judgment until i drive it.

cause no GM car i've driven, (not that i've driven anything remotely nice) have i liked.

fast car though. keke and easily faster than most cars on the road with a few mods.

[kumbo1]

I like the way car comes from the factory. Only thing I hate is the 4x4 suspension from the factory. I like your suspension setup. Did you put in aftermarket struts/shocks?

[!Aznboi128]

I drove one of these before and I love it!

[DavidYeh]

Thanks for all the support guys, I really didnt think this car would get any positive comments at all.

The OTD price for me anyways was 30,000 I think.. somewhere around there maybe a bit more. 0% fiancing over 5 years so I cant complain, I didnt get a great deal on the car in my opinion but it wasnt a rip either.

Toyota Powah, I agree, reving to 8300 is awsome, the sound, the feel, I love it. I cant stand my 6300 redline, so during my tune I asked for a 7G redline although it doenst make any power up there so I settled for 6500 so when Im ripping through the gears, it allows me a bit of room if I happen to get a bit rev happy.

No aftermarket struts, just springs, I figure this, if they blow, which they are supposed to be tons better then that 05-07 SS supercharged, then I'll splurge on some coilovers.

I hated the interior options as well, the red/black combo was too cheesy, and the white/black looked cheap to me, I settled for the black/black interior, it seemed a bit less plastic, but is still nothing to be proud of except I absolutly love the seats and how they feel.

[maxx]

looks allright. Gotta get some eyelids, those headlights look like the car's eyes are popping out. Same thing was with the pre-facelifted 3 series. Only in the facelifted models is the googly-eyed problem cured.

When you break in the car, tell us how it handles 260 horses on the front wheels

[03aspec]

nice choice, one of these beat an is-f around the ring.
