So its a supercharged turbo engine (pics only show a supercharger), Automatic tranny (pics show a standard), says the pioneer system was installed after purchase (comes stock on the SS/SC). This is retarded! lol

ugh, well. Its technically a "Superturbocharger", but everyone calls it a Supercharger for short. But yes he or she must be an idiot. I gave my stock exhaust for my 2.4 to these people that put stuff up on ebay. They listed it as such " Stock exhaust for 06 Cobalt 2.4 ss, only 900 miles on piece, no defects, clean, not supercharged." It could be a dealer or something.

Yeah definitely dealer BS. I bought a POS beater civic 99 LX with 99k on it. But apparently "This car isnt even broken in yet".

hopefull no one, i just set his a** strait...i sent some questions that will appear on the page for all to read. they included things like "the pioneer system came stock..", "all i see is a supercharger...", and "what is your idea of broken in, because your the only one who thinks 39 k is barely broken in".

Hmm, how come my ss/sc doesn't have power seats like this one? Also, anyone see a disc changer in the trunk, or are they looking at the subwoofer?

That site sucks, notice the roots blower turning the wrong way in the video?

Edit: and looking on the second page of that site, they got the description of a roots blower completely wrong.

It is probably a dealership selling it on ebay. My freidn traded his car in to a dealership. A month later he found it on ebay. It was claiming really stupid things like "never been smoked in" and no damage meanwhile we smoked in the car everyday and there were two quater size dents in the rear bumper.
