i want a slightly modded DD.
its a sedan and just about every SS/TC or SS/SC owner i talk to say that mine is not a SS/TC sedan lol
few exterior things i want to do and thats about it.

ive got 39MPG before with mine.
i was coming home from my cabin and usually when i start a long haul from my cabin (3 hour drive) i reset my MPG thingy when i start up my car to leave home from my cabin.

right now driving in the city in getting 29.7 give or take if i beat on it or not

I can't even see it, it's almost the same color, after dust/dirt builds up the finish just looks dull, then I just wipe em clean and good as new. Seems like aftermarket powdercoat cleans up better.

400-450whp and I'd be happy. That should be achieved in the next few months. Biggest prob is gonna be finding a lift to put my clutch in.

Yup, my goal for the sedan is a 450whp DD.

Intake, 22-23psi tune, DP, bolt-ons, E85, ZZP cams and springs, and the ZZP BW EFR drop-in turbo, and I should be there.

Will probably do sleeves and pistons in there somewhere, to make sure it doesn't tear itself apart. Oh, and a clutch (duh).

Then I wanna take off from that light and blow the same persons hair back and have them say " I didnt know a Cobalt could go that fast"

My goal is to sell my cat less down pipe, have my car physically completely stock, but have an aggressive, dialed in and dynoed 27psi tune. I need new tires after winter as well. So those two items are enough $$$ as it is lol.


Sleeper is my goal tho, definitely.


Assuming I end up with a good job in the next year or so I would love a evo =) I know the cobalt will need a bunch of money poured into it to keep it running good, so I'd like to swap it and keep driving a new car <_>

Hmm, then you should probably trade it in on a Corvette, tune it, and call it a day.

Only way you're going to get both of the results you are seeking.

For right now I'm happy with where I'm at (bolted from dp forword to fmic with stock tune) I ran e for a while but the price of it a month was more then I was willing to pay lol... I drive 45 miles a day so it was pricy even though it was like .65 cents on ave lower then 91 here in denver... so I put the stock tune back on....


Didn't see much from e85 anyways at the strip.... ran a 13.684 at 104mph on stock tune and on E I ran 13.42 at 110mph... this was on the same a/s tiers too. So it wasn't realy worth it to me as I hit the track a lot!

Is that color close to gunmetal? You got a close up pic you can throw up?

It is a lot more accurate on the TC because everyone has stock injectors and the ECM monitors fuel pressure as well.
