Gorgeous 07 Steeda Mustang GT
There asking 26. But i got the salesmen down to 24,5.
It has 23k on the clock, overall perfect conditon car.
What you guys think? Jump all over it, or wait for the Turbo SS
Yes this post was re-done, because the poll is just easier

if your gonna compare trim for trim then compare the SS to a Steeda.
if your gonna compare car to car then compare Cobalt to Mustang.
Cobalt to mustang, a million of each on the road.
SS to Steeda, both pretty rare except when you see a group of them

I agree. Everyone and there mother has a Mustang but you could be one of the few people to own a ss turbo. i really dont know of many people who know about the SS turbo unless they alrdy are Cobalt ownders themselves.

that mustang is pretty nice tho does it have any more performace then a stock gt? or is it just a lip kit and special badging.

Lip kit, shaker 1000 system, and some serious suspension and handling mods thanx to steeda

HackAbuse 05-01-2008, 01:08 AM The Cobalt is cheaper, has WAY less miles, more reliable, better on gas, newer, and has more features.
Did i mention that the Cobalt would hand the gaystang it's ass in the corners?

EceSSiveMod 05-01-2008, 01:12 AM i dont think u will c a cobalt with 250k in the near future like u will a v8
dont get me wrong i love my ss but the truth is v8s last longer....thast y stangs have a better resale value

Steeda full suspension and rwd will have no prob in corners my man, its just a lot harder to drive rwd but if you know how to, its the best set up. Aka why corvettes are the best cars on earth.
What possibly could the cobalt have that the mustang doesnt when it comes to features lmaooo.
And its only 3 grand cheaper.
what is special about the mustang besides a body kit? i've never heard of a Steeda mustang before
Steeda is a special builder and modifier a lot like shelby
There are plenty of diff models, from full suspension (like this one) too fully supercharged track fiends
Wow, and its 11-10 cobalt right now.
Unbelievably close.

not just because it would be funny to see hack leave the site because of it, but because it is indeed the better choice.

of course they do, it cost so much in gas for them right now people hardly drive them...keep that in mind
esfkotaro 05-01-2008, 02:39 AM i'd prefer the steeda bone stock motor.
perfect starting point. if they had that at my dealer, I never woulda walked away with a cobalt.
gas prices aren't as bad as people make them out to be. i got by just fine with my truck only getting 11mpg, on premium. and mustangs, if driven without your foot into it, get pretty damn good mileage too considering the fact that they're a v8.
Projekt 05-01-2008, 02:40 AM If the cobalt wins i am leaving this site :lol:
mustang FTW! the only reason i can see the cobalt being better is fuel economy
Mustang:
Faster
More Potental (SP)
Nicer looking
Nicer interior
More aftermarket (and will always be more aftermarket)
Better Resale
Cobalt:
Better on gas..
for the person that said "everyone and their brother has a mustang" have you never looked on the road and saw how many g5/cobalts their are..i bet you there is WAY more g5/cobalts then there is 05+ mustangs!
and hack have you ever been in a mustang? how do you figure a cobalt has more features?

v8 sports cars are not that bad, atleast they got aerodynamics, trucks get it the worst, and really americians have nothing to complain about..up here in canada we harvest 98% of our own oil and yet our prices are still higher then yours.

Ever go to the Caribbean? some places gas costs more per litre than it does here per gallon.
it's ridiculous. THOSE are bad gas prices. $4 a gallon? $5 a gallon? still very manageable, imo.
EceSSiveMod 05-01-2008, 02:46 AM lets not make this into a gas thread haha, the main point is there all fuckers and dont care about americans or anyone else. gas could b 1 dollar a gallon and theyd be super rich, anyways i think the steeda is bad A

if you bitch and complain about gas prices, then ease off your left foot, i drive very spirited and i pay for it, but atleast i get enjoyment out of my vehicle, and if i had to fill up a v8 every week and drop 80 bucks i would be a little mad, but at that point in my life if i am filling up a nice V8 sports car i sure as hell hope i can afford the 80 bucks in gas :lol:

agreed, but honestly is good business...they waited untill the mass population had something to "blame" the rising gas prices on (war in iraq) so they would have a scapegoat...
notice why thro the 90's gas prices would hardly raise, then all of the sudden, once americia attacked iraq the prices suddenly increased!
they where waiting for this...and now they will reap the benefits..good business on their part
ztbear13 05-01-2008, 02:49 AM I chose the mustang cause RWD>FWD anyday... The ss/tc is sick in its own right but its still fwd...

nope thats my buddy ryan, hes got HID's, im the other orange one..
my piaa's are brighter then stock a nice white that matches the projector fog lights very nice. 1 year warranty, had em burn out n 6 months and replaced em, great bulbs but once this set burns out i am buying H.I.D's

Yep, I wouldnt want the engine touched. I wanna do my own things, not rely on something that somebody prob screwed up.
Its so close. The deciding factor is if the ford dealer wants to do business...
If he's gonna keep his rediculous 26.5k price or bump it back to 29k (thats what it used to be)
Then its cobalt for the win. I can get a cobalt fully loaded for 21.5 and thats w/o my GM loyalty and trade in
21-17 cobalt right now
On the mustang forums its
42-14 mustang
On an STi forum its:
12-9-20 Cobalt, mustang, STi
^^^many kids say fuck it and get and STi but i dont want one.
Psykostevo 05-01-2008, 11:54 AM I drive a GT, and I have to say that the one you are looking at is nothing special. It has stock exhaust even................ I'd say go look at a different GT.
Magill8 05-01-2008, 12:12 PM I drive a GT, and I have to say that the one you are looking at is nothing special. It has stock exhaust even................ I'd say go look at a different GT.
Same price as a GT. Ill take the goodies that Steeda did to make this car handle over a car that can only go straight :twothumbs
Remember fella's this car was shipped to Steeda themselves for them to work on. Its not just lowering springs and a control bar.
Full Steeda suspension
I like the fact the engine has been untouched meaning un molested.
Big room for a big supercharger.
RedlineBrian 05-01-2008, 01:18 PM The Stang will hold it's value better. Just ditch that gay wing.
68nova200 05-01-2008, 01:19 PM mustang if you want performance, cobalt if you want performance and decent gas mileage
MfZx25z 05-01-2008, 01:20 PM You would be crazy not to get the GT... But a KB sc on that thing and ull be very happy
BH06SS/SC 05-01-2008, 01:29 PM Mustangs suck. If you choose the Steeda then enjoy your 255rwhp V8. ZzZzZzZz.
Wow, I didn't even notice the CF lip and the wing on the steeda. Are you kidding me?
Pyros777 05-01-2008, 01:31 PM All I know is one of my coworkers used to beg me to take him places on our lunch hour because his awesome mustang was always on empty. I know this thread "isnt about gas", but thats what it boils down to for the average joe.
If I were in your shoes I'd be all over the balt.

LE5CAV 05-01-2008, 02:03 PM Is It The Supercharged Model?
esfkotaro 05-01-2008, 02:42 PM "I hate Ford."
"Mustangs suck"
such idiocy.
255 rwhp is still better than the #'s i'd expect the TC to put down #'s to the frontwheels, while the mustang is RWD...an unmistakable plus...and is easily modifiable to a very driveable RWHP without a turbo or supercharger that exceeds any #s a daily-drivable cobalt can accomplish with a turbo OR supercharger. safely, too, I might add.
and i've spent more time behind the wheel of a mustang than anything else. and never had a problem with gas. the ones who do are the ones that can't manage their money, or couldn't really afford the car in the first place. (note, just because you can squeek by on payments and insurance doesn't mean you can afford it)
Psykostevo 05-01-2008, 04:23 PM Same price as a GT. Ill take the goodies that Steeda did to make this car handle over a car that can only go straight :twothumbs

Eh, steeda isn't even cool. It's like saying it's an AEM Civic Si....it means nothing.
As for Mustang HP, Mine has mods in sig and makes 298rwhp/325rwtq that's basically intake, catless pipes and tune.
Fernando (SRT-Killer on these forums) has the same mods on his GT, and a Shot of Nitrous and he made 475/525 to the wheels. That's just another $700 in mods on top of mine.
Dead Zen 05-01-2008, 04:26 PM 08 turbo balt. mustangs are just too.............. mustangy???????
SuperchargedSS 05-01-2008, 04:30 PM RWD V8 muscle all the way. If you like stangs go for it. I would. Put a nice set of headers etc and she sounds great as well. It all comes down to what you really want. I just put a bid down on a 67 vette myself

Umm FYI, headers on the new 3v motors make a whopping 2rwhp difference. Only reason for having them is sound. And even then the 3vs still sound wierd not very muscly at all.
SuperchargedSS 05-01-2008, 04:39 PM Ummm FYI , learn to read, I was simply referring to headers adding a great tone to the engine... 3v I heard with headers didnt sound that bad.. better than any 4cyl I heard that day
HMF313 05-01-2008, 06:37 PM I have a mustang obsession, so that's where my vote goes, especially in blue. Probably also why i own 2 mustangs and only 1 cobalt. lol
Magill8 05-01-2008, 10:26 PM A lot of hate and love on this forum. People seem to skip the fact that it isnt just a GT with a body kit.
changeit88 05-01-2008, 10:50 PM IMO if you are gonna go with a 'stang,......... come off the wallet and get a sherrod gt 500s
http://www.sherrodmustangs.com/mustang-gt-500s-features.php
or a shelby http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=105085
.............other than that..... I'd pick the 'balt just my opinion. Ooooh n btw silver with blue stripes looks great in person.
BeermanSSSC 05-01-2008, 10:52 PM MPG bro its $4 a gallon and rising
changeit88 05-01-2008, 11:18 PM MPG bro its $4 a gallon and rising
agreed, but this isn't a which car gets better gas mileage thread, it's a IN your opinion which would you pick thread
if it was a bettter mpg thread then the vote would be obvious and not as close as it is or has been.......
Magill8 05-01-2008, 11:47 PM 49-36 Balt right now
Atleast a lot of people on this forum know what there talking about, and dont bash anything.
A lot of mustang people are bashing the turbo balt saying it will be worse then the S/C lol. There are a select few on that site though that are silencing them saying our car is only .2 seconds slower to 60 and not to far off in the 1/4. Plus it handles stock for stock much better (not including steeda suspn.)
There are a few good people on that site, but all in all its a pretty gay site lol
unlike this one
InfinityzeN 05-01-2008, 11:57 PM I'd go with the SS/TC personnally. I don't really like Mustangs, not because they are not a good car, but because they are everywhere. Every day, I see more Mustang GT's then I see Cobalts (and I mean all Cobalts). Hell, most days I don't even see any other Cobalt. But I damn sure see a crap ton of Mustangs (at least 5~10 every day, I think my record day I say nearly 30. And that was just singles all around town).
I will say that I like the color and look of that Mustang, except for the lip kit and spoiler.

Psykostevo 05-02-2008, 12:01 PM MPG bro its $4 a gallon and rising
Real world MPG on my Mustang is 19-24. Real world on my cobalt was 23-28. Both use Premium despite Ford spreading lies about 87 octane.
Which one do YOU like driving?
Hands down, I like driving my Mustang. Cobalt has nothing on it from the driver's seat. It feels better, drives better, Good God it shifts better, and you can get the back end loose.

What, you don't like the balts awesome first gear? lol Gotta love the 1-2 shift... not.
I have to constantly clean my maf, injectors etc to avoid the chug a lug shift that many experience. Re adjusting the spark plug gap did wonders too. The balt is very finicky, well, my 06 is.... I am picky too, I need my 1-2 shift to be like butter..
btw - That stang above is just sick looking. Badass.
Magill8 05-03-2008, 01:48 AM Cobalt just took a huge fucking lead lmao

SSSCEnthusiast 05-05-2008, 11:39 AM Normal GT, get the cobalt, but steeda, come on guys, you can't even say an SS Turbo is more rare. LOL. I mean, sure, right now it is, but when they get some good production runs started.
Magill8 05-05-2008, 12:55 PM I've made my decision
Cobalt SS Turbo is the winner.
Reasons:
Both use premium gas and thats already over 4 dollars a gallon. Obvious winner cobalt.
0-60 in 5.5 vs 0-60 in 5.3 for the mustang. (Its a drivers race)
1/4 mile at 13.9 @ 102.5 vs the mustangs 1/4 mile 13.9 @ 101.7 (drivers race again)
Cobalt throws out .92G's on the skidpad, while the mustang throws out .87
The only thing mustang really has over the cobalt is the mustang name, and its aftermarket support. But in reality im not doing any real tuning until the warranties would be up on the cars, so therefore cobalt will have plenty of support by the time i hit 100,000k
Imperial blue SS, with 35% tints, maybe some blue ambient lighting inside. And 15" Polk Momo's, is going to be effin sick. Plus HID's is a must.
Any cobalt kit from the past should fit just fine for that.
And one more thing, the dealer wouldn't go any lower on the mustang. (25,000) I can get a fully loaded cobalt at 22,000
And thats before the GM loyalty incentive.

And one more thing, the dealer wouldn't go any lower on the mustang. (25,000) I can get a fully loaded cobalt at 22,000
And thats before the GM loyalty incentive.
i chose cobalt before. but this is a god point:cssNET:
Psykostevo 05-05-2008, 01:52 PM I've made my decision
Cobalt SS Turbo is the winner.
Reasons:
Both use premium gas and thats already over 4 dollars a gallon. Obvious winner cobalt.
0-60 in 5.5 vs 0-60 in 5.3 for the mustang. (Its a drivers race)
1/4 mile at 13.9 @ 102.5 vs the mustangs 1/4 mile 13.9 @ 101.7 (drivers race again)
Cobalt throws out .92G's on the skidpad, while the mustang throws out .87
The only thing mustang really has over the cobalt is the mustang name, and its aftermarket support. But in reality im not doing any real tuning until the warranties would be up on the cars, so therefore cobalt will have plenty of support by the time i hit 100,000k

You are right. The cobalt will be cheaper to buy and get better gas mileage. And if you are going to leave them stock then get a brand new car either way. For me insurance was WAY cheaper on the Mustang $94 vs $143 for the cobalt. But I pay for it in gas each month. Skid pad really doesn't matter to a daily driver, and since you are leaving it stock it will be doing daily driving.
Gotta get HIDs! I have them in my headlights and foglights on my GT and they are rediculous! Also, depending on where you read, the GT has a 0-60 of 5.1 sec. I think the 5.3 was for the auto. And I read that the SS/TC was a 0-60 of 5.9 seconds. But it's all just paper anyways. Gotta get them on the streets to compare.
Normal GT, get the cobalt, but steeda, come on guys, you can't even say an SS Turbo is more rare. LOL. I mean, sure, right now it is, but when they get some good production runs started.
Steeda is an aftermarket company. It doesn't make the car more rare.
Magill8 05-05-2008, 07:14 PM Motor Trend numbers is where I got my info.
There the only magazine that ive read of late that aren't extremely biased (like caranddriver with bmw) and post pretty good stats. (The only mag that took a stock saab to 60 in 6.4 sec, just like i did)
So in my book there pretty reliable. But with rwd I'd hope the stang is a tad faster to 60. But you gotta love the 13.9 1/4 mile they both post :cssNET:
drslash 05-06-2008, 11:52 PM I had a cobalt ss/sc. Now I own a GT.
- I get way more comments on my mustang.
- Better quality interior.
- the ladies like it more.
- will likely be quicker(not faster) than the new turbo.

I am not telling you not to go with the cobalt, but you are way way wrong.
My GT use regular gas. I pay 35 dollars less per month(year ago) with my stang even though it gets bad mileage. I have never used premium and the only difference between regular and premium is a little knock every once in a blue moon at 2800 rpm.
I can do 0-60 in under 5.5 seconds on it. Here is a video of me doing it while holding a camera:

13.7 is easy in the stang, and fastest stock is 13.4.
Magill8 05-06-2008, 11:55 PM I thought the V8 would need premium as well. Oh well ill still get much better mileage in the cobalt to negate the price diff. lol
Good runs with the stang man. my numbers were motor trend numbers. There very good but never the best one can do with them. I always go by there's because they always seem to post very good ones unlike other mags.

I'm with you on the ladies part. Ladies LOVE mustangs, it's to the point of being embarrassing. It's like the only car they all know unfortunately. I do get some comments on my GT, but nothing like when I had mt GTO. People used to get out of the way of my GTO and then tell me how badass it sounds after I parked. The interior is comparable to the Cobalts quality (i.e. they both suck).
I use Premium now, because I modded my GT and retuned it, but it's worth the extra 43rwhp to pay for the difference since I can't use regular gas with my mods and tune. My mods are modest even. I am really tempted to bottle this car and use Nitrous, but when and why still escapes me.
I have never been to the track with my GT to say how fast mine is, but I know that it feels fast enough, and I'm not scared of it like I was with my GTO.

The base GT are just a 4.6 f-150 motor(uses 83oct) in a mustang with some tweaks
but when you go to a saleen or GT500 it will be 92/93 oct
