Keep the SS/SC, but then I am GM biased. Them Si's are pretty sharp and do take well to mods though. I know of a guy with a new Si that has the M62 on it, and his car is pretty nasty

well, depends what you're looking for. performance wise, the cobalt blows away the si. better acceleration, better handling, better braking, etc. inside on the si is a little nicer, i really hate the digital speedometer though. if you have negative equity will absolutely not be worth it in my opinion. i would consider going from a 2.0 to a si a downgrade.

^ I too would consider it a downgrade. In my opinion the ss is nicer in all aspects. I like SI's though I just can't seem to justify trading the ss in on one.

Yes, the Cobalts are DAMN SEXY TOO!!! I have to say that everytime I walk out to my car, I have a smile on my face as to how hot that car is. My GF LOVES it too, which is always a plus.

Asking about an si on a Cobalt forum. I guess the answers here will be stay with the Cobalt. Pose the same question on an si board and see what they say. I bet it's "get an si"

If you really want a honda go grab the 08 accord

they're really hyping this one

when i was getting a new car i was stuck on this i really wanted a civic si love the way they look drove my uncles abslutely love the car...then i checked out the ss/sc cobalt that my stepdad actually told me to take a look at because he gets a GM1 discount. i also love the look of the cobalt the interior isnt as nice as the si in my opinion but i still liked the cobalts interior then i sat in one fell in love with the seats and how everything was positioned then i drove one haha and i thought the civic decently quick i got on it in the cobalt and i was not expecting that from a stock 4 banger a ss/sc is performance wise better than the si in almost every aspect its faster, handles better, stops better, ect. ect.
as soon as i drove the cobalt i was sold

in my opinion going from the stage 2 as a couple other people have stated would be a downgrade the only thing that is better on the civic is it has a nicer interior and better/more options...
on the other hand it is a really nice car would have been my second choice if no ss/sc were available and from what i hear around it handles mods very well...and honda/acura's last forever if you just take alright care of them...

goodluck and i hope your happy with what you decide to go hope i helped ya out a little

yea because it's got corvette engine options and a basically corvette drivetrain. Linginfelter will never use the cobalt sorry. That's like hoping hennessey would build an srt-4 setup LOL.

personally i would keep the ss until you find something better. IF you aren't absolutely sure you want to get a diff car, you will probably end up missing certain things about the balt and not being completely happy. Wait, save your money and when that one car that is PERFECT for you comes, jump on it.

i dont know why everyone is saying the si responds so well to mods...it responds decently, but not that amazing and for what you get with that car, its expensive.

lol no it wouldn't. You guys have to realize you can only take fwd so far before it is almost useless as a street car. if hennessey was told to make an srt-4 it would run 20's@150mph and two of the test drivers would die LOL. Hennessey getting ahold of an srt-4 would be dangerous to all of us. Kinda like stage 6 motorsports and their ford gt's. Ever thought about how scary it is that there are videos of these guys racing their gt's on the street with 1400rwhp?! that is just retarded someone will die.
