ive heard this before btu is it true that some of the cobalt ss s/c's came straight from the factory with the stage 2 installed? is this true?

 

i dunno, but they all should have. if you take the cost of the upgrades and minus the stockers it replaces and minus the extra labor it would have put the ss/sc on the map so much more and barely cost more.

 

I highly doubt this was ever done from the factory. Definitely heard of dealers installing S2, GMPP exhaust, etc on brand new S/Cs though.

 

no

 

the 05's did have something the others didnt i cant remember what it was tho

 

It was not stage 2. Stage 2 was a dealer-installed option, never something that came from the factory.

 

Yeah it should have been, but GM was trying to match the SRT4 and their stage kits. Also that means more money for them.

 

Us '05's came with our badges mounted high on our doors That's the only difference

 

Rims were diferent, interior was different, etc. but no they didn't ever come from the factory with a stg.2, thats as far as I know.

 

Correct. ^^ from the factory it was never installed.. There were a ton of dealerships that would do the stage 2 kit as soon as they got the car on the lot however, making it an added uprgade option and adding about 1k to the price tag

 

Rims are the same, except they added *optional* polished wheels for 06. Interior was the same for 05 and 06. 07 had very MINOR changes.

 

Rims were either a gun metal in 05 and 07 have a crome. badging was different. steering wheel and contorls were different. Dash had a different look..... There were differences

 

like what. mine is the same as every one ive seen

interior is same as 06's and the wheels are the same as alot as well

 

dont forget the g85 with the LS trans thats was a diff in 06 some had it some didnt

 

same in 05...

 

i know i have the Gangsta85 06 SS'SC lmao and thats the last year they were made

 

hahah me too hell yeah son

 

i has hybrid g85 lol

 

No stage 2 from Factory.

05 Models
-SS and Supercharged badges mid way up the side doors
-gunmetal rims
-Standard High Rise
-Optional G85 package w/Recaros
06 Models
-SS and Supercharged badges on the lower part of the door
-All other options same as 05 Models
07 Models
-Revised interior(radio and steering wheel)
-Chrome rims
-Standard low rise(high rise became option)
-G85 models had the Recaro package as an option, not standard


Those are the biggest differences appearance wise. Performance wise, same.

 

Actually the Recaro's werent an option. They were a part of the G85 package until they simply stopped including them. SOME 07's did get them, but it was first come first serve, and not an option in any way. After that point, they cut the price of G85 in half and added heated seats.

My car has the heated seats with SS logo on them. If I ever find some Recaro's I'm transferring the heating units to them!
