So i guess after reading all these reviews, seeing our car always come in last/second last...

The overall negative attitude towards our cars...

Im going to... keep the ****** after the lease is done. thats right, i'm going to buy it out. I love this car. People may rag on it, but its unique. I dont know about you guys but my friends pissing and moaning because he hates his cobalt (2.4L) and wants a mazda speed 6 (which is slow as snot haha ive yet to be beat by one of those) and i just love how different our car is. Nobody ever sees any of them around, but they know what they are.

I dont care if a turbo model comes out, i like the supercharged one.

I was thinking of going to a wrx but i sat in the interior of one and just shivered.

The only thing i want to know, can i add the LSD (i didnt get the g85 package on mine) to my ss/sc ? (06 model)

so umm yeah....

 

Ya the package can be added, but dont quote me, I think its like 14 bills, pm victoryredss, he went with a better aftermarket one at a better price

 

cool thanks bud

oh yeah, im sorry guys for the stupid thread, just ive been MIA on this sight for awhile (been pretty busy at work) but im back

 

Glad to hear you're keeping it. I have no plans of getting rid of it. I love this car and in a few years after I'm done showing I'm going to retire it to daily driver and get another show car. I may keep this car forever, it's the first fun car I have ever had and I don't want to be someday telling my kids about a car I used to have I want to show them.

I would get an aftermarket LSD instead of the one that comes with the G85.

 

i feel the same way... this is my second Cobalt and it's the most fun I've had in a car since my 1984 Capri RS 5.0L... this car is an absolute ball to drive and in the 3 months I've had it, I've racked up almost 8000 miles just because I love driving it.

I'll probably keep this one for a good long time.

Dont worry apex im with ya on this one!

the difference between you and me, is im going to give mine back and get a new one. With all the bells and whistles that i missed in 05

 

Well for me the plan was to give it back. It took a month and 5000K (yep I put on 3500 miles on the car in the first month I owned) and decided I will buy it out. Then I started modding. I plan on buying it out and keeping it im my garage always. Some of my friends have said why? just get a v-8 and go nuts on that building it up. I feel where's the challenge and what is wrong with small displacement. My choice of crotch rocket is a 600 as well. they are so flickable and go just about at good. I not on a track with it.it is the fastest car I have ever owned and it does not cost much to buy out. I then am planning on leasing a Jeep Rubicon Unlimited Wrangler and buy that out at the end of its lease. Great winter and offroad fun. I will be done buying vehicles for a long time then.

Edit - LSD - I dont have it but will. you buy the LSD have transmission pulled and put it in along with a possible gear change if you want and a lighter aluminum flywheel and two disc clutch. done. My power levels are intended to be 400HP but what ever it is it will be achieved with the S/C. I love that sound, power coming on with no lag, and the pull it has. it will just get better as We build these.

Note: I have seen pricing on LSD for 1500 but then you need bearings seals and labour to take tranny apart. A tranny with LSD in it is $2000. so just R&R it and sell old tranny. you will be further ahead IMO.
