wingless also makes the back window look like it way too big for the car.

 

I was talking to my g/f today on da telephone (nifty invention I must say)

her: "eww thats an ugly car"
me: "what is?"
her: "A cobalt" [she hasn't seen my car yet, but knows I got it]
me: "ha ha, very funny, no, what car?"
her: "no, a cobalt for real"
me: ""
her: "its got this really ugly spoiler"
me: "does it look like a someone placed a park bench on the trunk lid?"
her: "yea...exactly"
me: "ok, good, I don't have that version, you had me worried for a second"

 

its funny because its such an old joke.

but the really funny thing is, people think they are making fun of fwd cars with wings.
but in fact, they are merely showing their own ignorance to what a wing actually does

 

yea, it's funny how the info goes around. one person says it, someone else reads, doesn't know better, so they repeat, and the cycle goes on. before you know it, people call you an idiot if you disagree, meanwhile they're flat out wrong and just repeating bad info.

 

so true.
i will admit that i have found things ive read many times turned out to be way off base.

it certainly happens.

 

Not to thread jack, but where did you get the front SS emblem an0malous?

 

Its not thread jacking if the starter wants to know too!

 

part number for SS badge: 10336980

list price is $9.39

edit: that is the badge that comes stock on the Cobalt

 

Close Jason
the high wing adds 20 to 25 lbs more downforce. It was on the car that Heinricy used to set the Ring record.
If your the drag racing type get the low wing. If your autocrossing or road racing on the weekends get the high one.

Good part is the high wing bolts into the same holes as the low one so you can get one and swap it back and forth if you want.

 

the ss badge i have is from Australia.
it is the 2006 SS badge found on V8 holden commodores.

a few people have found them on ebay.

 

no wing or High rise low rise looks like any other cobalt out there

 

Thank you! It looks good!

 

I'm old ( 60 ) and I haven't bought a SS/TC yet but here's my opinon, no high spoiler.....no sale....the high spoiler makes the car. IMO

Later,
Al

 

haha! good for you man!
way to stick to your guns on what you like.

 

Did you guys see that Autoweek article that quoted the larger wing produces 27 lbs. of downforce at 70 MPH, but the lower wing allows the car to go 5 MPH faster top speed? I thought that was pretty interesting, and would have been useful data for one of those wing vs. no-wing threads a while back.

 

Glad to see that I am not the oldest one here.

 

high wing all the way it just makes the car!

 

High , low , wingless... if we all liked the exact same thing cars would be boring.

 

wingless FTW!

 

^My Feelings Exactly!

When buying my SC, I walked away from many of them just because it didn't have the hi-rise.

I've posted info from the Motive article more than once on this forum already.

But people don't seem to want to listen to what the hi-rise can actually do.

Yup. But me being 48 ... you're 2 years older than me!
