But the value of a balt to what they would sell you this SS would have you losing money like crazy! You would be upside down Like a motherphucker. After 10 months of having my SS/TC my value with 12k on the odometer was $15,800 Now if you own the car straight up then it a different story.


It's ok looking, but it look like it would be heavy and I'm guessing you guys are dreamingthat an LNF is going to be placed under the hood??? I bet haha

So you guys all want to trade your car in for a heavier, uglier version of the same car that doesnt yet have hp tuners support? I'm confused.

Not necessarly true. The SS/TC was top of the line but with rental car interior. MPG, better?? Not with the extra weight this car is packing and if they even dare do awd, ha nope. The only thing I would agree with you OS not falling apart, but that's cause GM had to learn to make cars the hard way afte phucking up for so many years.

I still dont understand falling apart? My cavy is at 92k and all in 1 piece, only part that fell apart was the muffler strap, but now the replacement one is already rusting out and thats a heck of a lost faster than the 8 years it took the GM one to **** the bet. My mom's cavy also went over 100k without any issues, Saturn is sitting pretty in the driveway at 135k, with the 17 year old headliner falling down because the 17 year old windshield seal leaks a bit. Mom's 08 cobalt still doing good at 20k. I dont see falling apart GM small cars, must be a new thing for the cobalt.

Yes heavier, yes not much better for MPGs, but much nicer interior by a long shot, and better exterior looks too(expect the back end). I like my cobalt, i wouldn't of S/C it if i didn't but this is just a nicer and by the looks of it, better built. Body parts line up and don't have HUGE gaps, interior looks much for upper class, and a turbo charged engine helps it too. Now if only i could get it with a 6spd manual and turbo. I keep seeing online it has the option, never acually saw a real one tho.

As said above that's the Z-spec and i don't think that has many performance upgrades its just appearance upgrade, suspension, brakes and wheels. If it had the lnf i would think about getting one but probably not i have too much in my car.

you guys are awesome. as stated thats the "Zspec" show car, its all bolt on parts. Cruze doesnt use any cobalt parts. And while that one is automatic you can get all Cruzes, except for the LTZ with 6spd manual for 2012. Still no bigger engines though
