Newest replacement for Cobalt SS/TC!!!

So some of you may know that I was involved in an accident in the beginning of October 2009. Well below is what replaced my '08 Cobalt SS/TC and I can't complain. hehe

After accident:


And now replaced with '06 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR:



I was impressed with my cobalt, but still would prefer to drive my Evo. Cobalt was a good car, and gotta give credit to GM for the addition of the turbocharger. Biggest flaw, still fwd.

Didn't ask, the car only had 16k on it.

Don't have the stock seats from the cobalt. Do have Recaro Sport Racing seats available though.

Already been looking into them. I believe one of the only Evos to have that quarter mile time with full interior untouched and still street driven.

I was at that race in the vids (Beaver Springs, PA) and saw the car in person. The thing is just scary, only way to describe it, just scary. AWD and went sideways out of the water pit!

Well the power these put out only depends on how much you wanna spend. hehe. The list is endless of what you can basically do to the car.

Sick nasty...Im driving my friends Evo VIII right now as he travels the country while my SS/TC is jack stand ballin for some upgrades! . Just put a Exedy twin in it after the Quartermaster fell apart. Shifts beautiful. He has simple bolt-ons for now tuned to 22 psi. I was going to get a brand new white RS when I finished school, but then found out how much insurance was for these beasts (Im only 23, 19 when I was gonna get one) Look into tune/reflashes for yours, night and day difference since these cars are aggressively rich from factory. And screw David Buschur, buy products else where. Have fun with it! AWD doughnuts!

Insurance for me was only 50 bucks more from the Cobalt to the Evo. I'm also 23.

Nice upgrade. I've always loved the styling of the 9 over the 10 and the STi. Also check out STM for a lot of other goodies for your car. Their test Evo "Ricer" is one sick car. I believe they hold the stock block record (with full interior) and over the last few months its gone on a nice diet and is having a little motor work done. Anyway, gl with the new car and have some fun.

Why was your SS/TC a write-off? It doesn't look that bad.
