g85 performance package
well guys my dad just bought a cobalt ss with the g85 performance package.got a great deal on it paid 25517.68. the guy at the dealer told us that this is a real hard to find package and there is like 5 in the us right now.if you don't know what the g85 performance package is its a package that comes with recaro front bucket seats and limited slip differential.what i was wanting to know is if any body has a g85 performance package on there car.the weried thing is that my dad bought the car but it is not at the dealer (it is on transportation)my dad said that this is the second time that he bought a car that he has not seen befor. the first car my dad didn't buy this dad bought it for him it was a 1977 camaro z28.

I am sure there is more than 5 out there, but the dealer is right it's a very rare package on the cobalt ss/sc.
I ordered my car and waited 6 months for it, so I got mine sight unseen as well. I had never do that before either.
Anyhow welcome to the board.

Limited slip not available for the 05 model
Your dad didn't get a good deal. Paying almost 26,000 dollars is a rip off! Now, one last thing. The limited slip differential was advertised for the 05 model, but NONE were made, and you can't order an 05 with that on it. The first model to have the limited slip differential will be the 06. I almost bought an 05, but when I found out this information I decided to order an 06. GM started accepting orders for the 06's about five days ago, and I will be one of the first to get the car. If you think I'm wrong about the differential, think again, my father 
works for chevy. If the dealership sold your dad an 05 and told him it had the limited slip differential, they flat out lied. Again, this bit of information was the ONLY reason I didn't buy the 05. Should have my 06 by mid july. Sorry about your dad.

There are people on this board with the 2005 G85 SS/SC. So don't listen to funcrusher.
And I honestly don't see the problem with pay MSRP for a car like the SS/SC G85. It's going to be a very rare car. It's definetly NOT a great deal paying MSRP, but you are certainly not getting ripped off.

Check the gallery on here, I know there's a few people on this forum that have the G85 and have posted the pictures in there. Now they did stop accepting more orders for G85 on 2005 models early because of supply issues, but there are a few out there still for sale.
A linky to an SS/SC with the Recaros. Don't tell theBLUEone there's no G85 out yet!

it's likely that a lot of the "mis-information" comes from salesmen at dealerships who just dont know what's going on but want to make you think they are all " in the loop" etc.
a Montana dealer actually told me " they didnt actually produce the SS in 05 and it will be available in 06 instead".. seems like some salesmen just want to have 'some' answer to instantly give you even if that means total fabricated bs

I can say that yours wont be built until the 15th at least... aside form that I could care less if yours is the first off the line... which it wont be chevy will snag those for promotions and test drives....
Why are you going to tell all the people with the G85 that they dont have LSD... WTF is wrong with you, they bought their cas with that package and its in their car. if your gonna just BS around ehre about your connections then leave.
DOnt sit here and tell someone that they just spend 1500 dollars on recaros and an LSD but GM lied and didnt put the LSD in....
Why did your buddies at the factory screw up hundreds of SS's last year then? Whoops forgot that LSD thing.... right....
maybe you should diconnect form this "connection"

Now you don't care
The whole point was that you said that I would not be getting one of the first, which I am. Use a little common sense, I am talking about the 06's available for the public, not the very first car off of the line. Jesus christ! I just got off the phone with the chevy rep, and my car is being built as we speak, so your whole arguement about production not happening until the 15th falls flat. As it stands, they are building 600 per week, of course these aren't all ss, but the point is that they are in production.

Ok you still haven't address the fact that you deny any 2005 SS/SC with the G85 package yet they exist. Oh by the way since your is being built why don't you post your vin number so we can all double check on your claims.

Here is a link to a post from a dealer that has a G85 on the way. It's a 2005 as well

I am new to this site but I just don't see who really cares about getting the first 06' ss. I have an 05' ss, got it about 3 weeks ago, and it is a fun car! I am proud to own my 05', but I do agree the LSD would be nice. The car doesn't do too well in the rain. Very light and you get bouncing in the front if you try to take off fast. Overall though, chevy did make a nice car. And to reply to the original question from this thread, I bought my cobalt ss sight unseen and never drove one before. Just ordered it offline from a dealer. This was my second car purchase being sight unseen. My last purchase sight unseen, in 02', was the pontiac trans am with the ws6 package. Traded her in for my cobalt ss.

They were made and people on the board have them and have posted pictures. So I guess you have so much "pull" that you don't even know what you are talking about?
