Don't forget to include the LNF's taller gearing into the acceleration equation.

/beginning of never ending LSJ LNF comparo

 

This guys dad is in my car club and his dad has it as a test vehicle for 3 months to give his thoughts/ write up on it. check out www.seecarclub.net under photos it should be in there.The kid has a LS 2.2 convinced his dad to get it as his next car from GM

 

he speaks the truth. i have sat and rode in that car. thats the kid im talking about (james a.k.a. delta2.2) who i "called" when i rolled up in my driveway and saw the other ss/tc.

 

i intend on getting new wheels and tires but intend on keeping the wheels. the tires on the other hand can be yours for the right price.

 

Less time lost during shifting.

With a more tq offered lower...this car in stock form will be doing 13s.

Then the no lift shift...the only people who think the SS/TC will be slower than S2 SS/SC are SS/SC owners...

 

i wanna know if the steering wheel has the gold bowtie or the SS stamp on it. these small details matter ppl!!!

 

Although the SS/TC will be dominately quicker than mildly modified SS/SC's, I dont think people are going to get a whole lot out of the TC's.

I was at work today and decided to test drive a Solstice GXP (Same motor).

Although she scoots, ive been in SS/SC's that seem to pull ALOT harder.

The turbo assembly is extremely well designed, however I think that this is semi a bad move into the genre. Why?

Think about it.

Cobalts came out with very little aftermarket support. It was well over a year before we saw stage kits, and aftermarket upgrades. Plus, so many issues with the cars.

Now they phased out the 2.0 LSJ. Yes, the 2.0 LNF has been out for years, but not in this setup. It will be the same game for aftermarket companies to see how well the LNF cobalt sells for, and how many of the people are interested in tuning them.


Im sure HAHN is doing backflips now that the 2.0 LNF cobalt is coming out, as he has built MANY fast LNF solstices.


But in reality, I dont think people will get as much out of them as they want for a reasonable price.


You can pretty much expect stage kits to run well over $1k, as the turbos in them are relatively tiny, and that would be one of the first major upgrades.

 

nope it has the emblem. the hhr ss/tc has the ss in the steering wheel though.

 

brand new the ss/tc and ss/sc are basicallty the same price. as far as hp/tq numbers go a stock ss/tc puts out around the same as the average modded ss/sc. i think right off the bat its a good deal at a reasonable price. little mods and stage kits would make the ss/tc surpass the modded ss/sc numbers. so in all actuallity you will end up spending the same money and getting more out of it.

 

Just the fast ones.

 

damn i hoping on the ss emblem

 

that bastard!!!

 

I certainly hope you're not talking about me.

Because I never once said that a ST 2 SC would be faster than a SS/T.

It's definitely gonna be close though, as some ST 2 SC's have also run 13's.

 

this gonna get interesting now

 

i knew from the second i posted this thread it was gunna get interesting. i also expected it to move off into a completely different direction than what it was originally posted for. haha so far im 2 for 2

 

why the slow down?

 

lol maybe they got sick of bitching about the same thing that has been bitched about in 50 other threads.

 

just when i thought it was gona get too.
