Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Brian and I just traded my '04 Ion Redline in for a brand new 2006 laser blue cobalt ss/sc. I usually spend a lot of time over on redlineforums but figured I would register here since I got the cobalt now. Here are some pics.

 

welcome to the cobalt forum. Congrats on the new car. I like the color choice!

 

watch for meets in the area.....I have yet to see a laser blue SS/SC.... If Irwin isn't too far for ya, we are always at the car show in the Norwin Hills Plaza, lots of cars

 

Nice ride... I hope that... erm.. gravel is tightly packed. I would be hesitatnt to use the gas pedal when driving on that with my new Balt.

 

Nice balt. I wish I could of gotten the blue but no one had that color in the area...

 

Welcome! That's one fine looking Cobalt. I'm curious though, why did you decide to switch from the Ion to the Cobalt? Not that I don't agree with the decision.

Welcome to the community!

 

Nice car. I wish more people lived around me w/ ss/scs.

 

Welcome. you will love it here. Nice Car

 

You picked the right color,welcome to the site.

 

Welcome to the site...nice color choice. Any planned mods for it?

 

Nice trade brother

 

Are you Dan's (red Redline) buddy? I think I met you at one of the Monroeville (starbucks) meets a while back when it was freezing outside. I had the black Ion Redline.

I don't have any plans to mod anything anytime soon. I got the extended warranty so I don't want to waste that. I had too many little warranty problems with the Redline, so I wanted to make sure I was covered for a while.

The reason I traded the for the Cobalt was because that is what I wanted from the time I first started shopping. At the time last march, I couldnt afford the Cobalt payments but found the RL used with only 2k miles on it for $14.5. With the 0% financing and my GM discount, I could afford it. It was definitely an impulse buy. Decided to go shopping at 3:30 after work friday, came home with a new car at 11 pm.

 

I Love The Color !!!!

 

Awsome grats on getting what you wanted.

 

I competely forgot, but I did meet you once at Starbucks in Monroeville.....lol, my bad.

 

traitor!!

so I'm assuming you got a deal on this car too?

 

Short term memory, much?! I was there too, Brian, with the blue SS/SC. Nice trade!!!!

 

welcome dude..

great color choice,, hrmmm perhaps i am biased tho..

 

Brk how do the two cars compare.

 

Welcome to the site. I love mine.

 

As of right now, I'd have to say the RL felt like it had a little more power. I think the SS just needs to be broken in a bit. I am not taking it over 5k rpms so it really seems to lag on the 1-2 shift right now. The SS is much easier to drive. I think its the difference in the tune from '04 to '06. must be a little more refined. Handling is the same. I do miss my Recaro seats from my redline though. The SS seats are nice but definitely don't hold you in the twisties as well.

 

I remember meeting you there, too. The one other SS that I remember was the N/A laser blue. I'm assuming that was PpAzz or whatever his name is on here.

 

Can't wait to meet ya at on of the meets. We get together quite a bit so I am sure we'll see ya again soon.

 

Yep, that's Dan.

 

nice lookin car...congrats on the purchace...its just a shame cuz when i get my turbo ill be passin you ss/sc like your sittin still...
