Today when i was flipping through channels I saw this one show on speed tv called Street Tunner challenge. They get 3 different cars and three different teams to rebuild a car and the chevy cobalt ss was one of them. it was cool seeing what this did to it. they stripped everything and built a roll cage and re-built the engine and got it down to 2300lb. they also did way more stuff but it's too much to explain. and the best thing about it was that the team who was building the cobalt, were GM prefomance engineers.

Has anyone else seen this show? it is a 7 episode series or smthing. it was made a year ago or so and it not on anymore, they have a different car i think actually.

I have one seen the first three on ondemand w/ comcast cable under the speedtv section. but i have seen the final cars on the website http://www.streettunerchallenge.tv/oldsite/main.html

It's a bad ass show and it is cool to see our cars on tv because this doesn't happen much.


here is the finished cobalt.


has anyone else seen this show?

 

yep its been discussed on here 1000x... they show reruns all the time & usually i can find an episode or 2 on my Speed On Demand channel

 

oh. sorry

 

its cool... I still watch them every once and a while just to see it... but sometimes they make me think WTF why would they do that that way

 

that's cool i havent seen the episode..

 

Wayyyyy cool yo

 

I never got to see the final episode, I watched most of the build though

 

nice find!
did you see they got the weight down to 2300lbs....sweet

 

they did that show in 2005, when the ss first came out.

 

Wow, they still air that show? That is old.

 

the cobalt was sick, but not conventional in any way. purely a race car. i like but personally would have liked something a lil more user friendly
