My car is supose to have limited slip but i swear it feels like im doing a 1 wheel spin on a wet road in first gear. Are both wheels suppose to spin? I bought the car used from the dealer, maybe i should have them print me off the factory options from my vin

 

g85 have limited slip, you will tell based on your seats and everything in the interior looks bland.

 

g85? i don't get it?

 

sticker in the trunk under the mat, look for G85 if you got a ss s/c...not sure about the t/cs. G85 is the name of a code on the build sheet I believe it is called?

The G85 is a ATB diff from quaife (ATB = Autmatic Torque-Bias) - Different way of saying TBD.

Take a look here for more info: http://www.quaifeamerica.com/differentials/diffs.htm

 

g85 is the package type that has the limited slip, it has different interior, is your interior a solid color or does it have inserts that are the color of the car

 

Thats the option code look under you trunk mat in the lower left or right corner and g85 should be somewhere on the code if you have a LSD

 

all turboed ones are limited slip

 

He's talking about the supercharged version. Yours is turbocharged I take it, since you posted in the turbocharged section.

G85 is the package that used to include several upgraded options on the supercharged model, but on the turbocharged model like yours and mine, it means that you have the limited slip differential if you have this package. The easiest way to tell is in your trunk, believe it or not.

Pop your trunk and lift up the carpet on the left side inside the trunk. Not too far from the subwoofer there will be a sticker stuck to the metal of the car on the "floor" of the trunk under the carpet. This sticker lists all the options and packages your car has. Find "G85". If it's on there then you've got the LSD. If it's not listed, then you don't.

 

No, Limited Slip is a 495 dollar option on the cobalt ss tc

 

limited slip is a $500 option on the chevy site, ill go check my codes.

 

I think there was talk about the 2010 models all having it standard. That might be what's causing the mixup.

Honestly, it should have been standard from the get-go... but alas...

 

i didnt know that, i was told by a dealer that they all have it when i went looking, them sons a bitches!

 

Maybe all the ones they had had it.

 

Yeah when I called about one at a dealership before I got mine, the dealer said "yeah it has the limited slip, I'm looking at the window sticker right now". I drove over to the dealer to take a look and LSD was not an option. I asked him why he told me it did and he was like "it has traction control, isn't that the same thing?" So car salesmen pretty much never know what the hell their talking about.

 

ok the sticker is sort of worn out but i do see G85 on it. So i guess i have LSD although it doesn't really feel like it.

Yea mine is 08 turbo.



While closing the trunk i noticed that the gaps are not equal on the left and right side of trunk. Not even close. The left side is raised and the right side sits down below. Its sort of slanted. Ugh I wonder if my car has been in an accident

 

thats good old lordstown quality..........there is complaints about stuff

 

Yea i think i may take a trip down the the chevy dealer and show them why domestic cars are not so well built.

 

its a plant by plant issue...are u satisfied with your build...i pm'd u but u didnt get back

 

Wrong

Wrong

Dealers/salesmen dont know crap about cars. Do your own research

 

 

PM or post the VIN I'll get the build sheet and prior warranty history for u if u want.

 

Everything you have said in this thread is wrong.

 

Aww cmon. No need to get like that. And try some of the stuff they use to clean up pet stains. That may get rid of ur BF's butt juice in ur seat

 

Either that or you need to tone it down a bit so she doesn't get so excited when she's in your car.

...for the sake of the seats of course...

 

this is not true.

LSD was an option on my 09 SS/TC.

lets not pass around false info please.

So you bought a newer used car ( assuming you bought a used 08 or 09 SS/TC) and you didn't ask for a free carfax report?!!?!?!? ahhahaha honestly, that is your bad.

I wouldn't ever buy a used car without seeing a carfax report.

All used car dealers usually print one off for you without asking, and if you do ask, it usually isn't a problem.

Post purchase is not the time to be wondering if the car has been in an accident.

Was it certified used? or as is?

Dude, these cars are put together ( for the most part) by humans still, sure, robots do some ****...

yeah guys, remember, when buying a car like a cobalt SS... obviously, since your going for the SS, YOU probably know about the car a lot more than the dealer.

The dealer has many other models of cars to sell besides the cobalt SS. I love how people expect most dealers to know all the specs on every car they sell ( really, they should, but not needed)

Its not a cobalt SS dealership ya know. even tho that would be sweet!

I mean dude, its research. I was lurking on CSS.net many months before I ordered my 09 SS
