i got it from ferman in tampa. it's pretty much as bare as a 2.4 comes, the only option is the MP3. i would have gotten the XM, but i wanted to skip all the heavier things... leather, sun roof, sub, etc. i have some plans for this car that weight does not play nice with.

my only point was, the best price i was getting on an SC was 20ish... which was a lot more than what i paid. i think for the coin i put out, i've got a pretty fast cool car.

 

That you did my friend.

Are you planning on F/I, NO2 or are you thinking of going all motor?

Speaking of weight savings, check out my rear seat/deck mod in my sig.

 

yOu know what. I have an SS/SC and I wish I had the G85 package. It just comes down to this. Sometimes we just want more. and then we get a new girlfriend. sometimes that costs money. well cars are no different. either settle, trade, or build it up. I have the SS/SC and plan on building up to beyond 400 HP, I think anyways. I change my mind and you know what so will you. just remember you live only once. think of what you want and whether you can get there, and how you will get there. think hard about it. take a test drive in a SS/sc. think more. I can tell you the handling can be achieved with Eibach sportlines. the rest is a piece of cake. build the motor. most of all have fun.

have a nice day...... hiccup.

 

I agree. I like the cloth seats, armrest, wheels, spoiler, and automatic better than those of the SS/SC. For me it was the best combination available (I didn't want the base suspension and drum brakes of the LT and LS). Also I'm old and don't race it. I don't regret passing up the SC at all.

 

the goal here is actually to mate an M62 with an LE5... right now i'm in the planning (aka i'm broke) phase of the project. I've been talking with the driveshaft shop to hopefully get some HD axles and get this pig underway.

Ideally, i want a high 13 second 2.4 that is using almost all GM parts... there is something nice about being able to walk into a chev dealer with a part number and being like "one of these, my good man"

 

Modded I see L/100kms is 8.5 = around 32 mpg, no compliants about gas here.

Everyone has specific things they are looking for in a car. It took me 1.5 years before I decided on the SS S/C. It was the only car out that had everything I wanted. The nice thing about the cobalt line is that it accomadates alot of people looking for a new vehicle.

 

I thought the same,2.4 2.2 or 2.0 everyone is getting around the same milage?

 

According to GM

2.2 and 2.4
25.0 mpg city
32.0 mpg highway

2.0L
23.0 mpg city
29.0 mpg highway

Gotta love stage 2

 

well thats smart thinking, but then when you go that far you'll end up spending much more to build the tranny and suspension along with it.

 

I was under the assumption that no tranny work need to be done? I can just see it now a few hard launches,and a new axle or two could be needed

 

ding ding ding. we have a winner. Add SRT-4's to that statement and thats exactly why i bought the 2.4

the hahn kit is just the begining!

 

exactly bigworm. You guys go to the ecotech forums and all the praise is heaped upon the 2.4 and what it can do,SO DONT KNOCK YOUR OWN RIDE!

 

well sure if you're just getting the kit and running at a standard 8psi

but if you're lookin for 400-500HP no way in hell

 

Just remember you will need more than 240whp to hang with EVO's sti's and srt4's. Unless you are content with hunting down those cars in stock form.

all depends on how much boost you run. Im not sure how much HP the 2.4 and 2.0L trannys can hold. We'll have to ask VIC RED SS.

 

should have gotten an srt-4

 

well we wont be competing with srt4's we will be spanking them

 

Maybe next time you will do a little more research before you make your decision, i cant say how many people ive seen do that. I'd have to say i love my 2.4 with the 5spd

 

I know those numbers are for stage 2 but I wonder what numbers a hahn stage 1 would produce

 

dont feel bad bro my 2.2 Was 19,999 ( Gm Discount ) Then it was like 18

 

I got ripped hell off.......then 1 month later the O6 2.4 ss came out for 17-18k with new lowered sticker prices. I got raped what what r u gunna do?

 

if i could have another car it would have to be a supra or a g35 coupe. but since i cant have either of those cars the 2.4 is the only car id want right now
