Build your own SS/TC!!

That's right, you can start building your Cobalt SS/TC on the Thorobred Chevrolet website!
Of course there still isn't a price available, yet. But once you finish building, you can offer a price for the car, along with your contact info. I'm awaiting a return email to find out any more specifics on the car. This is where I bought my LS, just over a year ago, and I might have to make a trip back to AZ this summer to trade up.

I'm sure all the AZ guys will appreciate this.

I wonder if you can order it Wingless... because that small wing KILLS top-end aerodynamics.

Yeah, Thorobred has always been good on keeping up to date on all the cars. For instance, when I purchased my Cobalt a year ago, in their showroom was 5 different Corvette Z06's all in different colors.

I'm just curious, did the previous years of Cobalt SS have power front seats? Because this shows manual seats.

And what the hell is a Rear Head airbag?

And did the previous Cobalt have a leather wrapped steering wheel?

I think if you could order the car without a rear wing, they would have had an option on the page for a spoiler delete. So my guess is no.

Oh yeah, and I punched in my info for a black ext with black and red int, and G85, that's it. Oh yeah and I offered 23K. Heheheh. You know, try and get them to come down to me.

I knew they'd back out on white ...even after they stated white as a option in their own press release .

Nice find .

Talk to the new car manager and see if you can trade it on a base model trunk before you even pull it off the lot. The dealer I went to offered me $300 for mine and would swap the trunk for free.

They are having white as a color option as well...and they have 225 section tires...not 235s...you will however be able to run 235s because the new rims are 7.5 inches wise.

And yes they killed SBO

Brembo breaks are interchangeable

I see the G85 pkg is just the Diff this time around, and all the SS/TC must come with the nice seats!

It does say 225, but they might have that wrong. At the very least, I'm sure you can dealer install a set of 235/40r18's before it leaves the lot.
