It's my understanding that there are adapters for our manifolds too no?

The reason that my car is selling is because I do shows every year. I love the look and feel of this car. I get plenty of old guys that say "That is the cleanest Cobalt I've ever seen." My passion has been and always will be restoring a 1991 GMC Syclone from the ground up no matter what the cost. I will always love this car like my past 1998 SVT Contour and 2003 SVT Focus but times are a changing and cars always will too.

GTI has the nicest interior for under $20k! As for performance its not bad, but no SS/TC! The build quality on my car sucks. I bought my car practically new and I found loose bolts nuts and various gaps in panels etc. The car feels cheap. It just the truth. Not saying its not reliable because word around here is the GTI is the same as the SS just $300 more to do anything minimum.

My opinion is my love for my car is renewed. I am happy with it presently. Sure I wouldnt mind something nice like an EvoX or 370z but the Balt is a fast car that seems to have treated me good.

There's too many GTI for sale in Colorado! There's a 2010 with a Stage 2 APR, TBE, Rims, intake, lowered, after market hood and only 20k miles for $20,900. I know $21k but close enough.

One of my buddies have a evo 8. Engine blewn, he just got a built one put in. Another buddy had a evo x and the motor blew on that due to a recall on their fuel relay but wouldnt warrenty it because of cat delete. My brother has a 09 wrx and wishes he got a cobalt ss after driving mine. Cobalt ss is better than all imo. Just sayin.

I think it's pretty clear that you'll always want what you don't have. I want that 135i.

I don't understand it why people buy a car to portray a certain image of themselves. Long story short I'm only 23 and make six figures. I have nothing to prove to any one so I buy a car because I love that car. I have a cobalt ss tc, corvette, and just bought a cts-v sedan(supercharged). Why would someone say that ohh it's a little boys car or a poor mans car? For example, an evo, sti, srt4, as well as ss can all be had with a 20 dollar an hour job but the majority of the people I know that drive these cars make much more and have other cars than just one of these. They may all be considered "econo boxes" but I think there all a blast to drive and will continue to drive such cars for as long as I can because there so much fun.

Evos and stis are fkn expensive atleast for me they are. Only way to get a good evo or sti is to buy it almost if not new. Other than that most of have been beaten/driven hard. Where I live (Chicago) most evos and stis are over priced and have a bunch of miles. I was going to get one but went with the tc ss. As for interior the SS SC had a pretty crappy interior but the SS TC is another different story it is 100x better.

Man my interior on the SS SC was so fkd up, that's why in my opinion I say its 100x better. But we all got different opinions and tastes. As for evos and stis if I had money like that I would have prob. gotten one too, getting my tc cobalt was not a bad decision at all though.

you have no idea what you're talking about. I know a lot of guys running 400 awhp on completely stock 6 bolt engines. Not to mention a guy making over 600 awhp on an engine that has over 80k on it. I drove my gsx for years with no problems at 25-28 lbs on a s256et. A little over 400 awhp and guess what... No blow by. The stock pcv system can't handle that high of horse power/ pressure but all you have to do is add two catch cans one with a check valve and your done. I never had to add oil and once the pcv system was working properly never had any issues. Do some research the 4g63 is an awesome engine. The only problem is they're in old cars now and young douche bags get them and don't take care of them. They blow up and blame it on the engine. I never had a problem with my car. My buddy had a 1g gst as a dd that had around 300hp and 250k miles on the engine. The car litterally fell apart before the engine quit running. It's the same with a lot of engines of you don't take care of it you will probably have problems. If your not a tard then it will most likely last you a long time.
