Help me decide On what to do with my 2.2

Well guys, after seeing all the ss/sc's are the maryland meet yesterday... i cant stand driving this 2.2. Im torn on what i want/should do. I would like to get a new balt in teh spring. A 2.4 or a 2.0 not too sure. Dunno if i want to sell all my parts i have on my 2.2(injen intake, dc sports catback, 17" rims & tires, strut bar, rear sway, sportlines) and save up for a ss/sc or 2.4, or jsut keep my 2.2. Currently im paying 272.27 a month for my 2.2 and im down to around 9k left. some input please thanks

you won't get your money back out of the 2.2... your best bet may be to wait for the end of the model-year and see if GM brings back 0% financing. That's how I traded up for the SS/SC without paying any more.

In the end,all three are caple of the same numbers via turbo,but the 2.2 have to upgrade rods and pistons is all that would be diferent

i would not now how to take care of my car if i got it turboed. no clue haha. i jsut LOVE the look of ss/sc. I might keep most of my parts since they can be put on the ss/sc besides rims & intake. I would also like to get my payments under 300 a month but i dont think i would be able to do that if i trade my 2.2 oweing 9.5k. Might be better off selling it on my own. then buy a cheep cavy for the winter and then go look into a ss/sc

That sounds like a lot of work to get an ss/sc pluse if you find some body panels like what im looking for it will look exactly like a ss/sc look on ebay and see how cheap you can get an m62 (same as on the ss/sc) there only like $200 shipped

so ss/sc bumpers and a m62 you will have a 200 hp cobalt ls/sc.
