Anyone see the commercials for the new Chevy Cobalt RS package? It's basically different wheels, chrome door handles etc.

Oh, one more thing, there's a fancy RS badge on there.

 

Someone already made his own

 

Oh RS? you mean... Really Slow?

 

yeah they make it in a 2.2

I about fell out of my chair when I heard this on the commercial.

 

havent seen or heard anything...I have, however, seen new badged cobalts at a dealership, not RS though.

 

I believe thats called an LTZ...not an RS.

 

So theres that X-Ray package, and now an RS??

 

Yeah, I've also seen the Cobalt "SST" floating around, especially at the dealer where I got my SS/SC from. In fact, I traded in a silver SST for the silver SS/SC I have now. Basically, they're 2.2s with an overpriced visual and tire package. So they look good but... well, you know.

 

Yeah... me.
They are all vintage Camaro pieces (67 & 69), added my own spiffy wheels, having the headrests embroidered with a bowtie with "RS" in the center. Mine looks neat.

And besides, not everyone wanted or could afford an SS. At the time I bought my car, i was not financially solvent enough for the pricetag and my insurance agent had a coronary when I mentioned Cobalt SS. I have always had Cavalier RS or Type 10 and felt that since Chevy didn't make one, **** it, I would.

and the 2.2L is not a bad engine. There's no need to go and get all elitist. If I really want to, i can turbo it and go supercharger hunting.

Instead of paying $240 to GM for some emblems and decals.
I bought 4th gen Camaro RS emblems off ebay, $14 shipped.

But, this summer is going to be great, because I'm going to get custom upolstery done to my car.

Do you have pics of your interior?

 

As a matter of fact, I do... but, the headrests aren't done yet. i'm having a hard time finding an interior shop here in my rather rural neck of the woods. Most people are just happy if the car runs... they look at you funny when you start looking for custom interiors or places to paint and install bodykits.

Or you could just keep the model you bought and quit pretending you have something else?

 

Who's pretending? It's what I wanted... GM didn't make what I wanted so I did. Who the **** are you anyways? What does it really matter to you what someone else does with the car and why the **** do you have to dump on it just because you think its stupid? People like you need to be either castrated before they can breed, or outright executed for stupidity.

haha, I think the RS is alright, at least it comes from the same brand. Just please don't put a vtec sticker on it!

 

Exactly......

 

haha.. don't cry

Yeah, I think i'm going to go out to auto zone and see if I can "make" myself a new brand of Cobalt. Maybe some turbocharged stickers and a nice Greddy BOV to go with it. You know since they didn't make those or anything.

I didn't dump on it anyways. I said why pretend we have something we don't?

 

haha ownt!

 

I seem to be missing something. Whats wrong with making your car YOURS? He wants to spend his money doing something to his car...oh wait, most of us on this site have spent money on our cars in some form. Just because he couldn't afford the S/C one at the time doesn't make your car any better or any worse than his. I couldn't afford the S/C one at the time, and I've put blue neons under my dash...Any way, He can make his car how ever he wants to. And there is no need to crap on him for it.

 

haha What's wrong w/ blue neons in your dash.. Also what does that have to do w/ changing the whole description of your car. IMO.. I think it's tacky. You don't have to agree w/ me

 

I think people make fun of others who CALL their car something else (a.k.a RS Cobalt), not the fact that they fix it up. An example would be V6 camaro guys putting "SS" emblems on their V6, or V6 mustang guys putting Cobra badges on their cars.

 

Here's a little input. Um, not everyone is into setting the fastest lap at Laguna Seca, so speed/performance is not important to many. Also, some may not want to pay the payments or insurance for a SS/SC. And beisdes you also have to pay for premium gas, so basically its really financial decisions.

I don't know why customizing your car to your liking is wrong. Many of us non SS/SC owners may have not been able to afford the SS/SC. I also don't know why some SS/SC owners think they are better just because they have Superchargers and more HP and TQ. In reality, its the same freaking car, its just a different motor and other different various things.

There's my two cents.

Cant we all get along?

lol I'm not angry about fixing your car up. I'm all for that. I just don't see in calling your car something that it isn't. phxss summed it up perfectly.

 

Don't forget about Super Slow?

 

hahah.. Yeah but that doesn't really work so..
