Well, Im a new cobalt owner and Iv herd talk about G85 being factory LSD. So I went for a gander and this is what I found. Is this the right G85? It would certainly brighten my day



And just for giggles a picture of my toys
2007 cobalt ss/sc
2007 yamaha phazer mtn
2001 ford fucus zx3 turbo

 

yes that would indicate that your car has the G85 package. yours is an 07, and should have the Recaro front seats that is another indication of a G85 package

 

Nope, Just heated leather seats sadly But I do enjoy the heated seats in the cold weather

 

lol ya i wouldnt know haha. and ya 07 was a toss up year for the recaro's i forgot

 

There is an easier way to find out go do a burn out if they both spin you have G85 LOL!!! This is why i bought an 06 so I had Recaros love my Recaros wish i had blue ones like the redlines though.

 

It would explain Why the tires wont break loose in second I guess

 

Yea im stock right now but not for long. And you have to really get on it for it to come loose in second.

 

Both can still break loose with non LSD trannys. Taking a corner and seeing if your inside tire breaks loose is a good indication. Or just checking the option tag like he's done haha.

Didn't realize that just seen so many videos of dumb cobalt owners doing burnouts and only one tire spins.

 

no G85 in mine 05 cobalt ss ftl. It's gonna be a bitch when i get my mods on. Im gonna get as much boost reduction as i can in the first 3 gears

 

I have an 07 with the G85 because i ordered it in Nov of 06 which was after the Recaros were discontinued. SO I went and bought some recaros and then swapped in the heating pads :0 So now I have heated recaros

 

^Nice!

 

orly

 

well as much as the tuner can so i can get off the line faster

 

Haha ..... you might want full boost for 3rd atleast...... a 2.9 with a good tune isn't gunna blow the tires off in 3rd .... or a ton in 2nd unless your trying to on purpose. Then again ....it's your car .... do with it what you want 8)

 

since when did 07's come with recaro's

 

Wrong.

You can spin both tires, and leave even marks with an open diff during a straight line launch.

What's so hard about lifting the trunk mat, and looking for the code G85, haha??

If you want to perform an actual road test, nail the car while coming out of a turn. This is where the G85 package helps.

Early 07's came with Recaro's.

 

What he said. /\




I'd post up a lot of information about diffs - but I'm tired of people arguing on heresy and not facts.


LSD is for cornering, don't use WaterWetter in your IC system, only use the stock fluid in the trans, etc.



An open differential drives both wheels at the same speed in a straight line, the difference is in the power transfer between the wheels when cornering...I'll leave it at that.

 

This is completely unhelpful. But when anyone else read the topic did they think *waves hand* "These are not the droids your looking for" - Obi Wan? lol.
