Interesting statistic, lol.

Look at what I just found on the autozone website. I wanted to see if they carried the K&N intake and I saw that that it tells you the percentage of turbo cobalts out of all the cobalts out there.

When you look up 2008 it says 95% were 2.2L 5% were 2.4L and it does give an option for the 2.0L Turbo but no percentage. I guess it is less than 1% LOL. Would not suprise me seeing as the 2008 LNFs were made for only a few months.

Yup just looked it up:

Available engines
4 Cylinders B 2.4L SFI DOHC (found in 5% of 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt)
4 Cylinders F 2.2L SFI DOHC (found in 95% of 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt)
4 Cylinders X 2.0L SFI Turbo DOHC

Less than 1% of the engines in 2008 were the LNF... What did they make only about 2,000 I think?

Yes, My build date was end of March (I believe I own one of the first 200 built)

Purchased early June 2008.

IIRC it is close to 1,300 total. I got mine in early July. That is when the first ones started hitting Florida.

It doesn't matter how rare your car is. It's still a Cobalt.

Wellll, in the defense of those cars/trucks posted up there, they were never called by the car/truck they were based ons name.

Buick Grand National or GNX was never called the Buick Regal GNX/Grand national.

Same for the cyclone, same for the EVO (in america anyways), same for the SRT-4, etc. Our cars are called Cobalt however...

Trans Am TTA... a ******* 6 cylinder trans am.... worth as much as a Gen 1 that has doubled in value since the late '80s when it was released, in good shape they now go for $50,000+


do I think these cars in worth will be the next grand national? of course not, but I know i'm not going to be running to trade my car in for $6000 a couple years from now either... believe it or not, if the new Camaro had HALF of the technology of this car, it'd be much better off... most Camaro enthusiast on other boards will tell you that as well

Got news for you, bud. I was in highschool when the GN came out, and nobody had anything bad to say about Regals to begin with. The Syclone came out when I was in college. Nobody joked about that one, either. This FWD turbo car, which many other companies are producing just like it, will not stand the test of time. When the GN and Syclone were made, there weren't any other cars like them.

p.s. My Father owns an '87 GN. Damn rattle-bucket but still cool.


Quick Reply: Interesting statistic, lol.
