Shoot me if this is in the wrong section. New here.

Alright well anyway.. I currently own a Scion tC as a daily driver but I plan on buying a 2009 Cobalt SS/TC as a track car. Before i make my decision i wanted to know what performance parts are even out there for this car. I've done some research but haven't found much.

I haven't even found any forged internal parts for the block.
Only thing on this site that had caught my attention was the Trifecta tune.

Can anyone tell me where I can find some decent parts so I can finalize a decision.
Move this thread if it is in the wrong section. I'm a little dumb sometimes.

 

what kind of tracking are you going to do?

 

The only forged parts we really "need" (if you want huge power that is currently unattainable with the fueling setup) would be pistons. But like northvibe said...what kind of tracking are you looking into?

 

If you're going to use it as a track car (I'm assuming auto-x), check with your local track before you start modding.

Some have restrictions on what is allowed, and what isn't.

 

Not auto-x i meant Drag Strip. Here in jersey we call it a track. Us stupid Jersey people.

 

no, you're not stupid

just the english language

 

tushay

 

No, I agree with stupid,Why would you CHOOSE a FWD car for a "Track car" when there are better RWD options.If you said "DD and track car" absolutely.Go get a 5.0 Mustang or an LSX car.Even an SRT6 is better.

 

All points aside. What parts are out there that will increase performance on the SS/TC

 

Really?You just asked that question?Read the forums for about a half an hour,you'll be amazed how much you can learn.But, I'll bite, against my better judgement.What is your goal with the car?Long term and short term.And how much in mods are you willing to spen?

 

long term i want to have the cobalt in the low-mid 11's

 

You're buying a new car just to run at the drag strip? I'd look at the neon srt4 since it can be had for dirt cheap or a dsm, or of course some older v8's.

 

ZZP has put their car in the high 11's with a tune,downpipe,ported head and 15 inch slicks.To get th 15's on there,they took off the Brembo's.Cmiller has gone 12.2 on aTrifecta tune,catless downpipe,charge pipes and slicks on 17's,which fit the SS and I believe are still for sale.If you want 11's you'll need aturbo swap,but mid to low 12's are possible for about 1000-1200 in mods.

 

Buy a used Evo 9.

 

I don't like Japanese cars which is why I'm getting rid of my tC

 

dude your only problem is going to be fuel. but i mean if you have enough money you could have that solved

 

bigger turbo, cai, charge pipe, bigger intercooler, slicks, TUNE

 

CSS makes me chuckle, well the members do. Stop being retarded and answer the question like the two posts from Billy and KILLIN.....


And let's not say search function, let's think about it if someone posts a re post or a similar post... who cares gives CSS more hits and keeps it up and running.....well when it's running.

 

What tune is good out there.

 

hp tuners on a dyno is good I have Teifecta,and so does Cmiller,fantastic bargain for the money.

 

Don't include me in this.

Strip is in E-town/Atco

Track is in Millville.

 

well for low mid 11s you would probly be north of 400whp. So for that you can do a simple trubo upgrade with a supporting manifold and dp. Something like a 30 or 35r would do the trick.
A clutch to hold the power would be a must. Along wiht a custom tune.

It's a non issue. I know of 400whp out of stock LNF w/a 35r with more to go.

 

There isn't much room after that.
