it makes me want 1 so bad.

 

Um where did they get this info on the S/C SS:

"The 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS uses up just 5.8 seconds accelerating to 60 mph, and it goes through the quarter-mile in 14 seconds flat at 103 mph. This is a night-and-day improvement over the supercharged Cobalt SS, which couldn't break 7 seconds for 60 mph and ran a 15.2-second quarter at 95.6 mph."

That is a pretty crappy 0-60 time for the SS S/C.

 

I Want One Right Now!!!

 

Yeah I read that too. Edmunds just has some shitty drivers.

 

they test some cars much slower than they are, the ss/sc being one of them

 

Yeah I sent them an e-mail about that.

 

wow pretty good review......they really down talk the SS/SC pretty bad

weak

 

yeah I was thinking the same thing. I think they used the numbers from the '07 SS N/A, maybe?

But stock I was able to get a 6.0sec 0-60 and and I know plenty of people on here have gotten mid 14 seconds and lower stock.

 

ya cuz it says 15.2 for the ss sc in the quarter but i ran 14.6 and im all stock

 

I think they got those numbers ffrom the 2.4ss cause almost all the times i've seen are around 6 sec 0-60 and 14.4 to 14.6 1/4mile.

 

Um 15.2 In The Quarter, They Suck *****

DOES THAT MEAN WITH A BETTER DRIVER THE 08 WILL LAND LOW 13s?

 

I want one, but i know better than to buy another Cobalt SS

 

I ran 15 on the 1/4 mile....but I was spinning HARD off the line. And my 60ft time was almost 3 seconds!!

They are as bad as me!!! LOL

 

I hate it when respected informists give false information. Simply because they are exactly what I said, "respected". As if people out there weren't missinformed enough about our cars. Now we're gonna have ricers telling us our cars are REALLY slow. And we all know there are a few ricers that drive cobalts, so I know it's only a matter of time till we have to put a few cocky '08 SS owners in their place.

 

that article made me sad about having a ss/sc, i love my car and i just like the fact that i have a supercharger and not alot of people can say that, those numbers are def wrong, i hit a 14.6 1/4 when my car was stock and I never drag raced before.

 

yup car and driver has tested the ss/sc from 0 to 60 in 5.9 seconds and 1/4 at 14.3. were they they get 7 sec fromand 15.3 from. that means the new civic si are quicker than ours. they probaby do this on purpose. they just hating on our supercharged cars.

 

Nah... it just means that any fool can drive an SS/TC to it's maximum due to the launch control and no-lift shift....
With an SS/SC you have to be able to drive to make it perform to it's potential....

Edit:
So throw the phrase 'driver race' out the window... cause the computer is pretty much taking care of the hard part...

 

lol good call

 

hmmm, now how much will will insurance be for a 21 year old male?......

 

Here is the email i sent to Edmunds, i'll let you know if i get a response.

 

you tell em......prolly a conspiracy GM is just payin them to say that! tryin to get people to go buy the new SS/TC instead of a used SS/SC

 

Those 60' times are from morons, not Edmonds. For the SC I ment.

 

my bud ran a 14.1, STOCK, does an areoforce count as a mod? lol

 

I love this quote:
"To ensure the clutch has a shot at surviving the five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty period, the GMPD engineers tell us that they installed the largest, most robust clutch that would possibly fit and even downsized the flywheel to accommodate it. The engineers also did 600 launches on a single test car to verify their work. "
