Well from what I hear. Whatever you put on this car like full bolt-on's the ECU will still make the car run at 260hp. So if you plan on doing anything to the car you really can't because of this.That is the stupidest thing GM does was dumb crap why would you make a ECU do that if you are putting out a tuner car? Really don't make no sense what so ever. So there is no point of even buying this car if you plan to Mod it. Its just a waste of money. So this car is pretty much stock even if you but full bolt-on's on it will still only make 260? That's because of the ECU and you can't buy anything to crack that and GM is not going to sell a ECU where you can mod it. This is a joke. How do I contact the GM performance division?

 

lol, this is the same with any car until tuning software is available. u will always be able to go standalone. chill out brotha.

 

ummm HPTUNERS is already working with a beta version of tuning for the LNF cobalt

 

really?? fricken newbs

 

just checking my gf traded in her 06 SS/SC has a SS/TC ordered. Just checking i have no idea about these cars I drive something way different

 

but....but...but....I want 500 whp for $500 with no reliability issues!!! RAWR!!

 

lolzzz. This site just keep drawing in the idiots huh.

 

Just stupid

 

phhhreakin noobs

 

wow.. how little about cars do you know... I mean really... Epic n00b!

 

Ban this guy please.

 

Wow. The car is not even out yet, so there will be no tuning until the car comes out. I've seen on the GXP and Sky redline forums they were still able to hit 300+hp/tq. So just give it some time.

 

ya...OP...tht was a pretty epic fail lol.

 

Like I said man i no nothing about these cars. I am an F-body guy

 

LMAO at "how do i contact GM performance devision" they would have gotten a good laugh

 

no, it's not. you can get power from bolt ons with pretty much any car. not this one though.

let me say it big: it's not the same stop comparing it to the redline/gxp. not the same at all. without a tune all mods will be worthless. they will be expensive noise makers, and that's all.

 

subscribed to see where this goes... im not talking anymore in this tho... maybe

 

then you should know better, if you want excessive amount of power build up an LS1 w/ some LQ9 heads and an APE twin turbo kit

want a daily driver with a decent amount of power, cobalt SS/tc

 

So if GM don't come out with something about the ECU then getting one from HP tuners or somewhere else with just throw your warranty right away

 

yes, messing with the ecu is a big warranty no-no.

 

You're discussing altering the programming in your brand new cars' (that you don't even own yet) ECU... and you're considering your warranty in the same sentence?


Good one.

I never said they were the same. I was just saying that the gxp/redline were still making power without tuning and no one [SIZE="5"]REALLY[SIZE="5"] knows if the ss/tc will be able to make power until it comes out.

what you dont understand, or what it appears that you dont understand anyway, is the car comes stock doing 260HP, and with full bolt-ons and being in -20*F weather, the ECU will STILL only make 260HP the HP production is directly controlled by the ECU. So increasing air intake will not yield even small HP gains. Understand now?

 

ill like to race this tc to see what it got against my raw intake and gm s2 and magnaflow exahaust.
