Just wanted to give everyone a nice hello. Im new to the forum and just received my black 2010 cobalt ss turbo and i frickin LOVE IT!!!! amazing car!!!! i couldnt believe the gas mileage on these cars. i mean im getting 34 on the highway and thats calculated not by what it says. The torque and horsepower are great too. I wanted a car with good gas mileage, quick, handles well, reliable and looked nice but not too flashy (i already have a crossfire that people and cops stare at enough haha). the cobalt was perfect. no other car for the price i got it for can compare especially since i got it equiped with the rpd unit and G85 ofcourse. How is everyone liking their turbos??? anything to look out for????

 

yo, welcome.

 

thanks. looks like this site is quite useful. benn looking around on here and finding some nice info.

 

whats up i just got a 2008 cobalt 2.4l a week ago and i love it!

 

welcome

 

Keep an eye on the rear brake pads. On some of these cars, they wear out really fast. hell, I would recommend just changing the pads before you ruin the rotors.

 

thanks for the warning. will do. I just love this car its just everything i wanted. i love it way more then my crossfire. lol.

 

yeah, this site is very helpful. the search button is your best friend. anything you want to know, just search and 9 times out of 10 you will find what you were looking for.

 

I can't see the pics. I'm at work.

 

what all is done to your cobalt ss/tc?

 

welcome!

 

well sayin he jus got it.. prob fully built pushing 30 lbs and 300whp

 

its bone stock lol. its a 2010 coupe. rpd unit, LSD, sunroof, blah blah blah (same stuff as everyone else lol) and black. smaller spoiler (not a fan of the bigger one). just all stock until warranty is up. then ill start the fun. plan on jsut intake, full exhuast, and tune. my goal is roughly around 320whp and 330tq. and running low 13s possibly high twelves on a well preped strip. nothin much just wanna show these sti's and evo's around by me a thing or two lol. a 2009 wrx pulled up next to me thinking he was such hot stuff. if i didnt care about breaking the car in i know i would have killed him but im taking it easy and want to break it in right.

 

Sounds like you have good plans for it though.. your lucky you have the ss/tc lol

 

trust me i know. the deal i got on it was amazing! and the trade in offer they gave was ridiculously great. i got 4000 for a 2002 cavalier with 94000 miles on it and it was scratched from previous owner lol. i think the sales manager was on something lol. and thats just the beginning. i got 3000 from gm and another 3000 for having a gm credit card with 1500 buck that they topped to 3000. and on top of all that i haggled lol. it was their last one too. hey ya gotta do what you gotta do.

 

wow 4000 for a cavalier! lol i got 2000 for my 1995 civic with 120k on it and it was barely running at the time i traded it in to the dealership lol

 

yeah like i said the sales manager had to be on something. the kbb is only like 1700 but i wasnt going to argue. lol. i pretty much stole this car from them. but all in all i just love driving this thing. how long is the break in for the LNF's. like 2000 or 3000 miles? just curious.

 

Welcome! Black is definitely FTW (when it's clean)

 

Welcome to your new addiction

 

very very nicely put LOL

 

lol yeah this car is addicting as hell!! funniest thing happened to me today. an 06-07 sti pulls up next to me today reving and asks me "hey is that the turbo or supercharged cobalt ss?" i replied "its the turbo. why you ask?" sti replies "....o ok...never mind" lol. o and i saw this quote. thought some csrt4 haters would like.

"dude your a stupid f**k who drives a CSRT and you look like a soocer mom takin her kids to practice. You need a local middle school sticker on the back "my honor student goes to"...lol maybe that can be ur next mod. hahaha"

thats gonna be my new sig lol

and for the record. im not bashing any cars. i love and respect all cars and their potential. just think some of the trash talking is funny. lol

 

^^^Haha that was me lol, but I do respect CSRTs but some d-bag on streetfire pissed me off so I went off on him

 

hahaha yeah that was you! haha that made me laugh so hard lol
