Well I took my car in today (06 SS/SC) to have the sunroof fixed as it no longer closes all the way. I was supose to have it by end of day, but instead was told its all apart and wont be fixed till tomorrow. Atleast they gave me a rental. What was my rental you ask?
05 cobalt LS 2.2.
Now at first I thought this thing was gonna be a slouch. Boy was I impressed. This little 2.2 blew a few cars doors off today. Older sunfire, S10 pickup, and my bro's GF 05 Civic w/ VTEC.
It just kept putting car lengths on the civic. I mean, I had an SE-R 04 and IM sorry, but this thing feels faster then that. The civic above has a CAI too. My bro's girlfriend was filming, and she was in the cobalt, where my bro ws the only one in the Civic. I had extra weight and sorry bout the camera woman. She missed the dig race all together, and cut the other vids off early, but bottom like is the Civic never had a chance, the Cobalt PULLED EVERY and ANY WHERE we went from even a dig.
The hole time my bro was talking about how the Civic, was going to win. LAWL.
Enjoy!

Yea I wasnt expecting it. To be honest, the reason I bought a cobalt SS/SC was because of a Cobalt LS. ORT will tell you LAWL. I had my 2004 auto sentra SE-R. I saw ORT (didnt know him at the time) and we proceeded to race. Bottom line is his Cobalt LS beat the crap our of my SE-R. Not by a whole lot, but enough to make me sell it within the next few weeks and buy a Cobalt SS/SC. Lawl. Funny huh?
its got some mad pull. Could only imagine what it would be like if it was a STICK and w/ a few mods :)

I had one as a rental to. I could do burnouts with it. When I braught it back the lady checked every inch of the car but not the tires. haha dumb bitch. None the less I had lots of fun beating the piss out of one. Then they made a mistake of giving me a brand new Grand prix hehe.

its about time someone appreciated the car as much as us 2.2 owners. everybody else who gets one as a lease just bitches and complains about it. but nice to see you had a fun time man. maybe some of the races the 2.2 people win more of you will start believeing. :cssNET:

My car is still not fixed. its been in at the dealer for 2 days now because of the sunroof not closing. I guess I will have the LS for another day.
In my SS/SC I can never find races. This LS is a magnet for races LAWL. IM bout to buy one and Turbo it :D

Cause it says "road racing" :) As I said I was half awake, I guess I meant to put this in War stories. Sorry (

Yeah, the 2.2L is definitely no slouch. Wish I had a decent digital video cam so I can get more action shots of mine.
