Stage kits..If you choose to belive me
Hey Guys,
I know in multiple threads people have said GM will not produce any stage kits for these motors but I have heard something different this afternoon
This information came from the same guy would said over a year ago the ZR1 vette is supercharged and was rated at 620 horse. And told me a year and a half ago about the HHR SS.
I am told because it it direct injection they will simiply have a flash tune to boost power to 290 hp however it will require premium feul.
I am amazing these cars will be able to handle this kind of power. I was thinking about buying a supercharged cobalt but it too many people are breaking transmission, axles, etc.. I want a fun economic 14 second car, but not one that will have many issues.
Welll...time will tell.... if this end up making production, I would like an apology from the disbelievers.

With the new Cobalt SS/TC you will have a fun econimic car that runs high 13s stock. It won't break if you do minor things and take good car of the car.

Because its used.
Because the reflash will be warrentied for 100,000 miles.
Because the SS/SC's clutch and tranny wont hold that too well.
Because the TC hangs with a Mustang GT stock for stock
I could go on for days...
I believe you, but i think the kit is going to consist of more then just a reflash.
An intake, re-flash, and some better piping would be a good Stage 1 kit.

I wouldn't mind buying a new SS/TC but my dad just got his used car dealers license so in the next couple months I will buy a 1 or 2 year old car for a great price. Last time I was there an 05 SS with 25,000 miles brought 10,800. So I was thinking over next winter with the turbo charged model comming out it would be a great time to get an 07 SS for around 11-12. But, I don't want it to become a money pit. I enjoy working on cars but doing repairs on a DD is no fun.

Stage kits on the 07's are rated for a 100k mile warrenty if I am not mistaken.
SS/SC and SS/TC trans are the same and will "hold" the same
Plus...easier to upgrade the LSJ as well.

Stock, you'll have more hp (fact), better suspension (proven in handling/slalom tests), and you won't have the tons of problems that people who know how to drive a stick are having with the clutches (historically proven).
I like my SS/SC a lot, but I'd advise you to wait for the SS/T (if they EVER start producing the freakin car!).

The Solstice/Sky reflash will work in the Cobalt but its not being marketed for the Cobalt under GMMP
The 08/09 Cobalt SS will only be on the market for 1.5 years , why would they go thru the cost of the certification for such a short run of cars .

On the show "Set Up" on Speed Channel, those LNF Solstice cars had GM stage kits. And the SS/SC actually beat the Mustang GT in the "Lightning Lap" competition at VIR. Check it out in the Car and Driver article here: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...ature/(page)/1

You're a retard. My mother has a 2006 Mustang GT with $10K worth of performance parts. She gets 400 at the flywheel; 320 at the wheels. I smoked her bad (almost 1/2 mile worth of distance on a 4 mile stretch) with my stock SS/SC. And it's not cause she can't drive stick. She can shift better than I ever will...

as for the stage kits for the ss/tc:
crate engine depot did hint that there would be stage kits for the lnf cobalt. since 8/10 ss/sc's have the stage 2, i would think GM seen the popularity of performance upgrades with these models and do the same for the newer cobalt SS model. also the fact that stage kits were made for the solstice/skye models i almost guarantee that the LNF cobalt will receive the same type of upgrades.

QFT ....there are exceptions but they are few .
The Solstice/Sky reflash will work in the Cobalt but its not being marketed for the Cobalt under GMMP The 08/09 Cobalt SS will only be on the market for 1.5 years , why would they go thru the cost of the certification for such a short run of cars .

I would think the cobalt would need a redesign in two years because it has been produced since what 2004(or 05)?
