ok honestly i never heard of the g85 package until yesterday...are they that much better? which cobalts are G85's? and how can you tell?

 

recarros and lsd

 

that works for 05-06s and early 07s however any 07s made after sep 06 do not have the recaros but have the lsd with the G85 option

you can tell by removing the spare tire cover and on the drivers side theres a sticker with all the codes its the 3rd or 4th line down but pretty much if theres a G85 down there it has it

 

thanks! dammit i have no idea, i bought my 07 used so idk if its an early 07 or not. damn i hope its a G85!

 

If you want a build sheet , PM me your VIn and i can run it threw GMVIS. It will show the option's and any warranty work performed by GM.

 

Hey would you do that for me too lol

 

Sure , post or PM your vin and i'll do it .

 

thanks man, i looked today and its not a G85 :'(, that suckss

 

We carry the Quaife LSD on www.TurboTechRacing.com which is the same LSD as GM puts in the car

 

isnt it hard as hell to install?

 

Cool thax yea the vin is 1g1ap14p757575555

 

Have to pull the tranny, so if you do a clutch at the same time, IMO it is a perfect time to do it.

 

yeah. well ill keep that in mind if i still have this car in a few years.

 

IMO? what is that?

 

in my opinion

 

lolz, jeez i feel so dumb on this website. everyone knows so much more about cars than me. im trying to learn though!

 

thats good. but just be aware tht this site can be like the wild and you are not safe at anytime so watch what you say and what you ask and be prepared to get crap from ppl for it if you do state your opinion.

 

ok man, thanks for the warning. what do you mean by not safe??

 

internet acronyms lol

 

i mean. you are never safe from flamers or trolls. i mean flamers as ppl that will bash an opinion or thought.

 

There is a tag on the top of the trans, you need a flashlight tho. It can bee seen from under the hood, not hard at all to find. You will see numbers and a barCode. If you dont see LSD...then you dont have it

 

NOPE , no G85. But Arrival Blue makes up for it, i love that color.

Lol cool thax damn I was hoping the previous owner added the lsd lol

 

So cant u just tell if u have the G85 Model if you have Recaro's in it?..lol..Cuz i have recaro's.

 

Yes, 99% of the time Recaros = LSD. I say 99 because they could have been added aftermarket... but if you have an '07 all bets are off because only early ones had the Recaros. They kept the LSD and are still called G85 cars, and that LSD continued into the SS/TC.
