New here - Dropping Some Pics of the New Cobalt SS

Hi to all the Cobalt NATION!

My name is Andy Williamson, and I manage and help run the www.gmtunersource.com site. My company works for GM - as we handle a lot of the Youth Automotive Efforts etc.

We work with GM Racing - for the Ecotec Racing programs like the Drag Programs and Drift Program.

We also work with the GM Tuner Tour - that makes its way around to the HIN and other shows.

Enough of that stuff.....

We just got done with the GM VIP Party tonight here in Las Vegas. We are out here for SEMA - and I can tell you this, SEMA is happening!

GM Tonight officially unveiled the new Cobalt SS for 09, which will go on sale sometime in 2008 late in the season.

This car is amazing. There are some really nice upgrades, that a lot of you will like - Im sure.

Im beat... been up for 24 hours.... But wanted to toss out some photos for you to check out.

Photos aren't the greatest - but will do for now.

Oh - and yes this Turbo motor is to die for! Sick front mount from factory and all!

Hope this was a good first post. Love the site!

Enjoy the pics....

Thanks for having me!



Here are some more...

You said photos, I only see one. I would like to see some pics inside the engine bay and also the FMIC. Looks good though!

EDIT: I spoke too soon. Sorry.

It is a 2.0, the valve cover is different than the LSJ cover, just looks like a 2.4

Are you ignorant to the fact that the LNF 2.0L has VVT and has a similar valve cover to the current 2.4L's that also have VVT?

I personally like the LSJ's valve cover better, and its missin' an SC.

I'd like to know if the door inserts are the same material as on the 05-07 cobalt ss sueprcharged. If it is, I'm buying those ASAP!

Also, are the stock brembo's the same rotor size as the Cobalt SS Supercharged's and are they a direct replacement? I may pick some of those up too.

The cobalts internal's aren't weak. The fuel rail and inefficiency of the stock SC were its main problems. You've seen it. Turbo your LSJ, over 300whp, no problems....the cobalts internals are similar to that of the SRT's if I am not mistaken.
