Chevrolet Announces Pricing for the Turbocharged Cobalt SS
A Compact Car That Delivers Fun, Performance & Great Fuel Efficiency
Oshawa, Ontario (April 22, 2008) – Powered by a 260-horsepower (194 kW) turbocharged and intercooled 2.0L Ecotec engine, the Cobalt SS coupe delivers a balance of track-proven performance capability, driving refinement and premium features. Offered exclusively with a five-speed manual transmission, it is also an efficient performer, delivering an estimated 6.6 L/100km in highway driving – the best among top competitors.
That combination of performance, efficiency and features comes with an MSRP of $24,995 and arrives at Chevrolet dealers next month. The Cobalt SS is well-equipped at that price, including standard air conditioning, side-impact air bags, Pioneer premium sound system, remote keyless entry, StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, and OnStar. SS-specific features include distinctive exterior and interior treatments such as new front upper and lower grilles with diamond-mesh appearance, rockers, body side badging, bright tip exhaust outlet, SS-embroidered sport seats with suede-like Ultralux inserts, a specific gauge cluster, A-pillar-mounted turbo boost gauge and specific shifter arrangement.
Popular options include a sunroof ($1,100), high-wing rear spoiler ($275) and a limited-slip differential ($645).
Maximum performance on the street or track
The Cobalt SS delivers a quick 0-100km time of approximately 5.7 seconds – thanks to the engine’s “no-lift shift” calibration – and an impressive maximum lateral grip of 0.9 g. This combination enabled the Cobalt SS to set a new class record when running Germany’s famed Nürburgring racing circuit, posting a time of 8:22.85 minutes.
Ride and handing are supported by an all-new FE5 Sport suspension, with specific stabilizer bars, spring rates and damper tuning – all designed to complement the high-output turbocharged powertrain. Driver-selectable modes help maximize performance whether on the street or track.
Four-wheel disc brakes with standard ABS help ensure the car stops as confidently as it accelerates and corners. The front brakes are from Brembo and have a performance-oriented, fixed-caliper design, which resists fade better than floating caliper designs; the rear discs are vented for better heat dissipation. Large, twin-five-spoke 18-inch forged aluminum wheels and performance tires are standard. They’re mounted on 225/40-series Continental summer tires.
General Motors of Canada (GMCL) is engineering and manufacturing advanced environmental technologies ranging from Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and hybrid systems to E85 biofuel and fuel cell vehicles – more than any other auto company right here in Canada. Headquartered in Oshawa Ontario, GMCL employs more than 15,000 people nationwide. GM of Canada manufactures vehicles, vehicle powertrains, and markets the full range of General Motors vehicles and related services through 732 dealerships and retailers across Canada. Vehicles sold through this network include Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, GMC, Saturn, Hummer, Saab and Cadillac.

You didn't "seen" anything you ignorant *******! Not to mention you seem to know nothing about brake systems...good grief...this thread is a pure failure!
