2006 Cobalt SS/SC
Got it stock, non G85. Now it’s highly modded and LSD, 3 years later

Been in love with this car since day one. Been through many little issues along the way but thanks to everyone on here it is where it is now.

Over this last winter we tore it down and did a mild re-build and trans swap. It was a fun winter and now that the car is on the road again it’s better than ever! Feels great to have one of the few 300+ whp m62’s out there.

The only thing I miss about the m62 is that sound.
I've had a heck of a lot of fun seeing the progress you've made on that thing man.
If I remember to vote this month you've got my vote.

 

Much love for your SS rice

 

Love the TC wheels.

Got my vote man

 

Got to like those blue wheels

 

Thanks dude preciate it, im gonna miss the m62 for sure but will do all i can to make the tvs scream like a 16 year old with a horsec***

 

Thanks everyone. Blue wheels are gone but i had no time this season to get good pics with the new wheels. I need a real camera this next season :

 

Car still looks great rice!! You guys sure make it hard to pick the winner

 

I really like the color of those wheels rice are those Tommy P's old wheels or did you get them done I would really like that color on my black tc

 

Thanks everyone!

These sre not tommys old wheels but i was going for that same antracite metallic color. These are a shade darker than what i wanted but they work nice. Color is kingsport by prismatic.

 

Very nice! Borat voice

 

This car is lame. Silver is the worst color on cobalts

 

I know right, its right between the best colors black and white too lol

 

I love your interior! Even though you sold the double din

 

single din is more aerodynamic when you race anyway!

 

Trunk gutted + rear seat/bar removal took off maybe 50 lbs on my car. 2920 with half a tank and full interior. 2850 with a bit over 1/4 of a tank and removal of those other things. Or what'd you plan for the 135+ lbs of WR

 

i actually weighed everything lol. n2m there is actual weights posted about most of these things:

seatbelt bar: 8 lbs
trunk insulation/plastic panel where trunk latches into: 5 lbs
subwoofer (aftermarket installed into stock housing) - 19
amp for that sub - 8
rear huskyliners floormats - 3
rear huskyliner mat - 10
rear seats - 35
rear headrests, seatbelts, xm module - 10
26 - spare tire
insulation under rear seats - negligable but maybe 2 lbs
a/c consensor - 15 lbs
hood liner - 5

thats 146ish lbs (give or take 5-10 for sake of scale being off at low weights) that i can think of, another 20ish on the way if i isntall my carbon fiber trunk, and yet another 30+ if i get a 3.5lb battery. might be more that i forgot about too! of course i've added some stuff as well, fmhe, opt b, etc.

 

Forgot I had already taken out spare and some of the trunk stuff before hand haha. And yeah no sub here lol. Good luck with the times man you should get them just need that driver mod and you would've been there lol

 

seatbelts weigh more than i thought too lol

every bit counts

thanks brah.

 

I felt the same way when I pulled the rear seatbelts. Heavy as hell

 

leather is heavy...

 

That's why I wear jeans opposed to my leather pants when I race

 

leather is heavy thats why i switched to ss/tc fabric seats okay actually its cause the ss/sc seats are ugly as hell but still
