I'm Really Temted To Trade My Sc In
But I Really Don't 5 Yr Payments And Re-buying Mods
I Don't What To Do

 

^^^ do ittt

 

To those thinking about trading up. Let me remind you of a few things...

1. Same car.. Different engine, wheels, brakes
2. Direct Injection. HARDER to tune then LSJ's fuel injection, No one knows how much the stock fuel pump can support, No fuel upgrades.

IF you want a turbo then swap over to a custom turbo kit. Costs less and will make better power.

 

^^ true but i kinda rather just start over with a turboed car that is under warranty.. for me theres just way too much at risk to ****** somethin up after the turbo is installed then ill be fucked. plus i'm looking for a fwd daily driver with a few mods here and there that is goin to be pretty damn fast.. and im startin to feel that the s/sc's arent goin to be looked at the same after the ss/tcs come out

 

True, but I bet with an intake, exhaust and bigger FMIC you will see some nice power gains. How much who knows. I doubt it will be anywhere near what the Neon SRT and Caliber SRT push out.

GM is too dumb to produce a car like the old SRT-4's. lol

 

Totally understand but do you plan on modding it? Then there goes your warranty out the window.

I hope so but time will tell.

 

You know what a lot of people are gunna trade there ss/sc in and get nothing for them and have a car payment for the new cobalt around 700 dollars a month. I was calling dealers just to see what trade in values are on the the ss/sc cobalts they are saying aution price since the new ss/tc are coming out. My car with 13k miles i was told i was luck if i got 13500 from 4 dealerships.

 

yea but nothing major. if would happen to get it.. i'd just throw a gmpp exhaust on and probably an intake.. and a stage kit if gm were to come out with one.. everything else would be minor appearence mods

I think that GM has a stage kit in the works. It ups the hp to 290 and the tq to 310. But will it be available for the Cobalt? My guess is yes because I think the Cobalt will be the biggest seller with the LNF motor in it. but this is GM we are talking about.

 

damnnnnn that'd be sweet.. i'm just goin by what johnny(admin) says.. it says in the lnf thread that gm has no plans for stage kits as of now

 

And hey, his word is probably more credible seeing how he was with some guys from GM with the new Cobalt. lol

 

There are NO stage kits planned for the Cobalt SS/TC

 

Maxed factory transmission to blame?

that the new car has barely come out and people want to already up the hp etc.. Can't we all be happy and satisfied? Understand I can say this cause I have a 2.4L.. <<ok maybe that made no sense?

 

well, we already can assume that the GMPP SS/SC exhaust can bolt up to it... i think! and there's bound to be a CAI out within a few weeks of the car's release. there's a few HP right there!

i'm interested to know how it'll stack up on the autoX courses, or what class it would be in. an LSD, 260hp, sport suspension and brembo brakes will be a formidable package.

 

It's natural for a true enthusiast to want to get the most out of it. At least there aren't too many complaints that the LNF isn't enough power. If I weren't getting a Camaro in 2010, I'd be considering a 2009 Cobalt SS with extensive mods.

 

I can't wait to see all the people that say they're getting a new camaro, have their hopes, and dream smashed by the corvette like price tag it will have. It's going to be in the low thirty's no doubt.

 

And that's gonna be the V6!!

 

it's still not on chevy.com for me...

 

Disagreed. Do research. Look at the lnf solstice and sky. That's all I have to say. This car is going to be garbage when it comes to modding until:

1. Full tuning comes available
2. People actually learn how to tune it
3. We figure out how to upgrade the direct injection

 

I am going to be contacting a couple of dealerships out here and work out the best deal I can for one of these SS/TC.
I have already told the wife that I want something easier on gas than my pickup/motorhome and my SS when it gets done.
I will trade in my Silverado and pull the rwd car to the track behind the motor home.
Of course I will be ordering victory red just so I can challenge someone on the road to go to the track, and show up with the RWD look alike.
I have also promised the wife that I won't mod the '08 SS, but this she want's in writing.

 

haha
