Q : Is the cobalt ss s/c intercooled?
A : yes water to air intercooler
Q : where is the ss s/c intercooler?
A : its in the same area as the radiator and a/c condensor
1st Q: NO!!!
1st A: WE HAVE AN AFTERCOOLER!!!
2nd Q: IN THE AFTERMARKET DREAMS? LOL
2nd A: THE AFTERCOOLER IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE SUPERCHARGER AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD.
Calling them intercoolers has come to be accepted EVERYWHERE Randy so relax. All cars have aftercoolers if you want to be technical. Only twin turboed cars can have intercoolers and 99% of them don't, technically speaking.
He is right though about the location xskier it is located between the supercharger and intake. The heat exchanger for the INTERcooler is located between the radiator and a/c condensor.
(now back to the questions and anwsers)
Q: Where is the battery?
A: In the trunk
Q: What is that loud "bang" i get on a hard 1-2 shift, and is there anything I can do about it?
A: It is the engine slamming hard against the stock motor-mounts, torque braces solve the problem completely.
Q: Do I have a ghost in my trunk?
A: Possibly, but it is more likely that the sound you are hearing is the trunk latch doing a self-test.
Q: What is a good launch RPM on street tires?
A: 2-2500 produces the best results for me, when done while slipping the clutch just a little and rolling into the throttle.
Q: What's up with the "wall" i get trying to go into gear occasionally?
A: Synchro issues- can be fatal to the tranny, get it checked SOON or even sooner than that if possible. (How do I know you might ask? My baby is in the shop waiting for a new transmission because a roll pin broke the last time that happened to me, and turned the internals to powder)
FAQ: How much are your monthly payments? How much will my payments be?
ANSWER: This question is hard to answer since it depends on so many variables (amount, term, down payment, rate, etc.) The best thing you can do is use an online payment calculator such as this one: lendingtree
Note: The link above also gives recent interest rates

A: 14.3 has been the fastest so far. Was tofu stock? If so then 14.1

Q: Who makes a turbocharger kit for our car?
A: Nobody, yet. Many are in development. You can get one right away via a custom installation if you want to.
Q: How much can my car handle before I have to upgrade my powertrain?
A: 250HP is a very safe number. Either transmission is fine.
