You started it. Lol. I would have never came back at you if you hadn't "thought" that a stock ss/tc would be a good race. It's not, it's an ugly race. It's like racing a bolt on civic si, lol.

well said, and that's exactly what the dealer thinks as well. bravo to you man!

I never said I was better than everyone else, you just jump to conclusions to fast.

play nicely you two.

yes ralli bested your time by over a second and a half. yes hes modded, and yes your still stock. we can see both sides of this arguement.

ps, warrenties are way overrated anyway.

it wouldn't take "many" mods for a ss/sc to beat a stock ss/tc. LOL. And any mod on a ss/tc won't do anything without a tune, and if you get a tune on the ss/tc, you have no warranty.

Now on the ss/sc, it'd be MUCH easier to get away with mods.

I still have a warranty, but I don't let anyone touch my car from past experience. I've had some extremely dumb dealers just about **** my car up really bad. I refuse to let anyone touch my car without my supervision, and I would rather just do the work myself. This car is super easy to work on, so no biggie.

You need to step down from the "ss/tc is high and mighty" attitude. The car is slightly better stock for stock, but it doesn't take much at all for a ss/sc to be even or better and still maintain a warranty.

your join date has a lot to do with a lot. you obviously haven't read many threads of mine and don't realize that I've been around since the beginning. My knowledge far exceeds yours when it comes to cobalts. Plus, you are now going on a rant about some dumb **** and you also think your car is superior to whatever. Sounds like you are the one that needs to grow up.

In your other thread, you also are personally attacking other people that are trying to help you. I suggest you get a reality check and chill out.

see, you clearly are the one that needs to grow up. lol. Come down from the LNF bandwagon before your head explodes.

Thumbs up

lol, good luck with the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. I am still amazed people still think its the magic bullet to claim warranty work. Most power mods are actually sold as "racing application only" (meaning illegal for road use) to relief the part manufacturer from having to warranty their parts.

If the dealer suspect you have "illegal" parts in your car, they have the right to not even touch it let alone having to prove your part cause the problem.

That is exactly why people will swap the mods out with stock and then try to claim warranty work, and all auto manufacturers knew about this practice which make them more suspicious about warranty work even if they are really legit.

Good luck.

for real. I bet if he was out in public and this conversation was going on, he would be "all ears" instead of "all fists".

ditto, I think if you mod it, I doubt you have a warranty, unless it is a truly clueless dealer/mechanic. lol.

Seriously, this thread is embarrasing. Everyone needs to shut up. You're all so tough........online.

1st, doesn't matter who's right because the fact is this thread shouldn't even exist.

2nd, read number one... use the f*cking search tool. This thread sounds like something from the balts first came out..............IN 2005!!! This question has been answered

3rd, read numbers one and two. The debate will continue to go one no matter what. You know why? Because it's hit or miss. A mod can void your warranty if it is the catalyst. And a dealer can also choose to blame a mod for a problem.

4th, if you've read this far then listen up and listen good. If you are worried about your warranty, you shouldn't be modding. The quest for more power requires more mods... end of story. Go big or go home. End of story. You either like how the dealer says your car is allowed to run.......or you grow a set like the rest of us, mod the **** out of it, and **** the dealer because you can build it better than them.

/end.

im sure theyll say that, until the tech has to fix it under warrenty time. most service people will tell you anything they can to get you to come in.

LSJ FTW!

so true, but if you haven't noticed, newbs are so lazy and just constantly make new threads. I'd rather have a thread revived from the dead then see a repost. At least that means they took the time to research.
