No one is hating... never did anyone say they hated 2.4's in this thread. Numbers were simply provided to prove than under the majority of circumstances the SC is notably faster than the 2.4; not to brag, but because people were saying the 2.4 hangs with the SC. I fail to see how that is "hating". I love all Cobalts, hell I don't even have one yet but will soon. I personally wouldn't rebadge my car but like you say you can do what you want to your own car.

Wow this turn nasty quick. 
I don't know why but everyone calls the 06-08 2.4L cobalts the fake SS, I guess cause it doesn't have a S/C or T/C. Ah whatever call it what you want. BTW I got my car for the SS badges and drove both the 07 and the 08 and the only difference that I could tell is the Sport was quieter.

so to the average car enthusiest, one who attends car shows, the race track, reads car magazines and does his own tune ups.......not an avid Cobalt guru......would they know if a sport was rebadged to an "ss" or vise versa? My answer is no, because I don't think they would notice or really care. Now if I put ZR1 badges on my ss, most people would be like wtf?.....they look 98% similar...I say put what you want on it and don't change for the bloods, crips or the West Side E Possee.

put them on and **** them off...lol
mazda speed 3 looks way different than a mazda 3 so, ya, badging one an ms3 would be out there....but the ss n/a and sport are the same car, just named different.

I know but my post was saying that they made a SS N/A with the same motor but they didnt make a MazdaSpeed N/A so its not really a fair comparison...When the differences are that little screw it put them on if you want...

Again I wasn't talking about exterior,interior, drivetrain etc. I was talking about swapping emblems between two trims and used the Mazda as an example. Though that was avoided to point out the obvious I wasn't talking about. I would think trim changes along with the other diff between the two would = that it's not the same exact car. I don't personally care if a Sport has Sport or SS emblems.I just think it's funny some Sport's need SS emblems to feel "cool"/be happy with their car when infact the Sport is a newer improved version of the SS/NA.
