i know you all dont like if people put the SS badge on an ls or lt but what if you made it a true SS clone?

you would spend a fortune trying and still get bitched at.

Just fix it up and call it a bad ass LT

07cobalt4life

lol good point

BigTizzle903

you could just put the supercharged badge on it, and skip the ss badge

07cobalt4life

i wouldnt put the super charger on my car it would be the turbo charger lol but still

Pully Police

Turbocharging is a method of supercharging...so technically, you are not lying

phatnackySS

iv thought about making my ss a sleeper by making it look like a LT.

but you would be better off buying a ss

07cobalt4life

i dont think i would be better off speaking i only paid 9k for my 07 cobalt

trialskid

where did you hear this? this isnt correct terminology

Jackalope

This is the easiest mod to do!!!!!! Just take your LS or LT to your nearest Chevy dealer and pony up the cash and TA DA!!!!! YOU HAVE AN SS!

07cobalt4life

why would i be dumb???? why pay like 20k when i paid 9k for mine... i can make mine just as fast for less money

Jackalope

Making it just as fast isn't the only thing that makes it an SS ya know?

TVS_SS

Technically he is correct although its not common terminology

Raven SS

this is about as gay as the people who make there caprices into impalas....

07cobalt4life

i guess that would be the only true way to make it an ss lol

TheCaptain

Not quite. The Impala is actually a Caprice 9C1 (police option code) just a civilian model, and a different VIN code, grill, and floor console shift. Otherwise they are the EXACT same car. *MY 94-96 specific*
Just a VIN different. (ok that was a lame attempt at humour)

a "true SS clone" would have an LE5/LSJ under the hood, as well as the FE3/FE5 suspension. It'd be alot easier to just get an SS or an SS/SC than to attempt to clone a 2.2 into an SS or SS/SC.

sporttintturbo

thats my first thoughts for my t/c once it ****** comes lol. debadge n waitin for performace parts!

TheCaptain

Indeed. Suspension and interior, would cost a pretty penny.

HunterXero

Yea... you guys say it's easier, however, since he would have to SELL his car, and selling his car would put him upside down in his loan, it is not as easy as it sounds (I already tried doing this, every where i went, blue book said about 10... they only wanted to give me 5,) any way... theres also another factor, if you are mechanically inclined, then just buy the SS suspension and put it in... then take it one step further and turbo charge the 2.2 rather than dropping in the 2.0 supercharged, you'll get bette mileage AND if and only IF you can find some one to tune it with the turbo, it will probably kick the crap out of alot of supercharged models (unless they are stage three equiped... then good luck.)

anyway, if you have some mechanical skill, it is actualy cheeper to "clone" the SS, it's where the interior is concerned that youre going to have some difficulty. Unless, of course, youre a jack of all trades and are good and apholstry too!

any way, thats my opinion (and my auto instructor said it was pretty feesable too, and he's a ASE certified master tech, so theres some professional insight as well)

Raven SS

not technically...the lt1 was an option for the 9c1 but wasnt stock as it was with the impala ss...and its more than a grill shifter and vin number....its the rims, powertrain, suspension, interior...everything that has set SS above other models since the begining of chevy

osiris

Just get a salvage (body damage) 400HP GTO, cut and weld the chassis for size and then fit the LT body on it. Call it an SSS.

Then worry about installing the turbo!

spend ur money on parts and just beat SS's, man i spent my cash on part and worried little about appereance and now i can say i beat a 2.4 at the track, cuz i did, beat him by .1 of a second

ps-he wasnt stock either, vibrant header and dp, stock exhaust i believe, injen intake, b&m shift+, polyfilled mounts

Raven SS

its been proven that the 2.2s can hand with the 2.4s pretty easily

Turbocharger = exhaust driven Centrifugal Supercharger
