difference between a 2006 ss and lt/ls/ltz
Could somebody pin point this for me. A friend and myself were discussing this matter and he claims the ss is a normal cobalt...just badged.
Now....I'm not a man of arguing so I just said... "really..." I just got this car (ss) and I thought the difference was that....
-different front and rear bumper
-Chrome exhaust tip finish
-2.4 engine instead of 2.0
-ss suspension
-leather wrapped steering wheel with controls
-17 in polished wheels on perellis
The 1st 2 are obvious, but am I right?
And the supercharged version came with...
Leather upholstery + seats
Lipkit
Supercharger (of course)
And hi rise spoler
Tell me if I'm right/wrong. Thanks.

SS/SC 2.0L supercharged 4 banger 205 hp 18 Wheels leather seat but with g 85 have cloth recaro seats
SS 2.4L 4banger 17"s Wheels
Lt/LS/LTZ i think had the 2.2L 4 banger hub caps or 16 aluminum wheels i believe
Aint sure if they had an 06 LTZ

the SS/NA came with 17s SS rims....thats why they fit on the SS/TCs they are also 2.4 171hp i believe whereas LT/LS/LTZ are all 2.2 145hp the SS/SC comes with the lip kit an 2.0 supercharged engine makin 205hp with 18s SS rims there are slight differences an if you know them you can spot what it is right away the SS/NA can come either manual or automatic whereas the SS/SC only comes manual YEA!
an to answer your question all cobalts are unique IMO but SS' are 2.4 where as LS/LT/LTZ are 2.2 all in all 2.4(171hp) > 2.2(145hp) plus the SS' just look better DAMN!

The LS LT LTZ and XFE all have a 2.2l engine
The SS/NA has a VVT 2.4l engine
The SS/SC has a 2.0l super charged engine
The SS/TC has a 2.0l direct injection turbo charged engine.
the LS LT and XFE have 4 bolt wheels where as the LTZ(i think thats what its called) and all SS's have 5 bolt wheels
SS/NA's have 5 spoke polished 17's
SS/SC's have 5 spoke polished or gunmetal 18's
SS/TC's have split 5 spoke silver 18's
the SS/SC and TC are available with LSD transmission
The SS/NA and SS/TC come in bot coupe and sedan where as the SS/SC only came in coupe.
The SS/SC and SS/TC only come with manual transmissions(for now)

really????? That would be great. I test drive an HHR Turbo automatic last night and really like the LNF--and it worked well with the automatic.
I'd love a daily driver with power

Probably should mention the SS models all came with 4-wheel disks and not rear drums like the others.

What do you mean that is the base (factory under rating?)Yes, some have more and some have less, what I mentioned was rather "average". I would bet no SS/SC has been on a dyno that got a WHP that would equivilate to 205BHP on a correct reading dyno.

Ya, he mentioned all that in the first post. I was just mentioning one major difference he forgot.

i never under stud why the called the ss/na a ss... it should be a Z24 thats the way did it back in the day. then again they did have the ss and the ss/rs, but they also had the z28. right.
Maybe its saves a few bucks to just have 1 badge style

I think just about everything is different.
pertaining to the ss/sc compared to like an ls,
Engine: 2.0s/c vs. 2.2
twin cam, others dont
lsd transmission
tighter suspension, stronger brakes
thats about it performance/wise, unless u note that ss s/c was only manual and 2 door wich saves weight
exterior:
all other cobalts look like **** compared to the ss, ss has 215/40r18 wheels, whole ground effects package, sits lower, and has that pornographic spoiler (usless though it is being fwd), also they came in fewer, but better, colors. i think the taillights look slightly different from the other ones too, but could be wrong. and the exhaust tip. whole exhaust, actually. Also, i don't THINK the other cobalts come with moonroofs, maybe the XLE or w/e
interior: ss comes either with ss stiched seats or recaro stitched seats. mine are 2 tone. ss emblem on the dash, overall just a little nicer than the regular one. and u can't forget the nice little stock boost gauge on the a pillar, it kind of adds to the whole experience lol
thats about all i can think of, but overall, minus the headlights, the ss is a COMPLETELY different car. i wouldnt b caught dead in a different one
