Ok so needless to say i search high and low for any new information. I found a little article in the "ROAD & TRACK" magazine. The cover states 'New cars of 2005'.

In the article it shows a picture of a red SS and give a little discription of the car. Listing its stats. Other then not no other mentioning of the car was done.

Has anyone else seen any new PRESS info?

 

If there was, I bet Jonel would be on top of it and post it in his press release sticky thread. But, personally..no. I went through most of the articles Jonel posted..lots of good information..but it soon becomes redundant. For now, the only new/old news is when the damn car will actually be produced. I hope someone can find out for sure soon.

 

For sure! Jonel is all over it. And like you said, Its all redundant. I agree. I was just making it know that the cobalt is making it into the news now. Not just from the Internet.

 

Aww I got all excited when I opened this post….I figured its something new. But yea, I did see it. As you guys said, it’s redundant and not worth posting same info and pics.

Keep looking Well eventually fish something new

 

I read in C&D this month about the Redline.... 14.7 quarter, 6.1 0 to 60. Those are the best times I've seen so far I think. Hahahaha SCC SUCKS !!! The only managed to run a 15.3 with it lol. What a joke of a magazine.

Given that the Redline and Cobalt are running the same powertrains, and the Cobalt is about 70 pounds lighter then the Redline (according to the Redline's soecs in C&D and the Cobalts on gmcanada.com) the Cobalt is looking to be pretty damn sweet.

 

Plus the fact that almost all the cars magazines get are not broken in.

That should make it a bit quicker still. 8)

 

Exactly, their cars always run faster after they have them for a long-term test. Should be easy to run low 14's with only mild bolt-ons, and 13's could be achievable with some boost and ECM tweaks.

 

I don't know if Jonelz posted this already or not, but aparently the aug. issue of HCI built a 2.0 and dynoed it; they said with a flashed ecu and pulley they were making 265 at the wheels... not bad at all!

 

What do you mean by built?

 

Wouldn't have to "build" the internals anyways, they should easily hanldle 265... I guess that is getting closer to 300 crank though. Sweet!! I want that!

 

by 'build' I mean they made a 2.0 from a 2.2 - destroked it, etc; apparently the specs were very close to the LSJ.

I didn't get a chance to read the article, so this is all third hand knowledge though.

 

i hope mags keep running 15.3's so more people are surprised when they get beat..

 

hahaha yeah, nothing more fun than running a second under what the bench racers think you'll run.....
