Funny NYS Fair story

So my wife , My buddy and I went to the fair yesterday. So we were walking around and came upon a Chevy display with different cars Malibu, Impala, Vette, and 2 Cobalts. 1 of which was a base model and the other being a SS/TC. SO I go over and check it out. Red tint coat metallic. My buddy opens the door to check it out and sits in it. So i say pop the hood. He does....I open it and just as I do....a small group of people came over to check it out....So these two 16 year old dudes come over and start talking about how the Supercharger is the ****....I overhear this and say its not Supercharged, The kid is like AHhhhh yea it is....I am like no...and point to the new motor that says "TURBO" on it. I said its turbo. The kid is like all SS's are Supercharged, I said no they are not. This is a TURBO, I should know...I own a SS/SC!!! Oh when did the switch to the turbo???? I said this year...I shut the hood and walked away. There some older guy also who was bitching about the lousy gas mileage the Cobalt gets....I didnt even bother.

I have no idea what dealer it was that brought the cars..... There was also a 2009 Chevy Traverse there too.

Another thing.....when i sat in the SS/TC there was no boost gauge....it was a square monitor with a screen on it.. Does anyone know what i am talking about???

I have never seen one inreal life but it looks like a nice deal.
I'm working on a 2008 SS/TC for a guy that does track days at Watkins Glen.
He will be at the track Momday and Tuesday this week.

be careful what you say, those 2.4L's with a few bolts on's are pretty quick cars.......the few who have done s/c or t/c conversions on them, from what i hear, they couldn't be happier.
