Maybe they can put a big "R" or maybe "Type R" behaind the badging on the SCed models.

"Badges? We don't need no stinking Badges."

 

Does it matter ? Really ?
When I was young ....(yep,flashback time)
I had a 1968 Camaro RS/SS
But some losers only had an SS , I had hideaway headlights and my directional/reverse light were below the bumpers not integrated , losers-all of them .
Oh , but wait I only had a 327 4 barrel with 275 horsepower. Other SS models(includingRS/SS models) offered more HP 327's and Oh no , a 396 , Now I am the loser , Oh crap . All I got is a crappy small block and the 396 can kick my a$$ , even with oversteer from weight.
And then there was those , those Z28 owners.... Stuck up ,too much $$$ people , buying all those interior luxeries- who needs 'em ? not me(AKA -I could not afford it).
This is just a satirical way of putting an age old topic. We should be happy with what we bought. We have choices. The more Cobalts on the road , the faster parts manufacturers will notice us. I , personally , want loads of crap to sift through and purchase for my ss/sc .
But , I will never say ....all you have is a ******** , Because it is both better than stock and better than nothing !
Whew ! I will get off my soapbox before I fall and hurt myself .
Please , no one take offense at this , as I am trying to not point fingers.
'nuff said

 

the ss/sc already has "supercharged" badges on both of the doors, right underneath the "ss" badges. and, btw, they each add 5 horsepower and contribute 3-4 lbs of boost to the car. yea, anyway, i'm not one to care about badges and monikers, but creating a cheaper version of the cobalt ss seems to me like an attempt to sell some more cars. especially offering it in automatic (eww) and a sedan model, gm would appear to be trying to appeal to a more 'mature' market. i.e. older people not set on big rims and spoilers, but who recall the halcyon days when ss meant something to them. so really, gm is just trying to capture the audience that the ss/sc misses. i do not however believe the 2.4 ss deserves the ss badgin, maybe a z badge or rs, but just throwing an ss badge on a car in an attempt to make it more appealing seems like a giant step backwards for any automaker. the ss badge symbolizes performance, something the n/a 2.4 cobalt couldn't muster on any given day. and anyone who keeps talking about getting the 2.4 ss and slapping a turbo on, have fun with that whole not having a warranty thing, let me know how that works out for ya.

 

Viola ! It in no way takes anything away from what someone else is driving. People need to quit looking for ways to get their feelings hurt.

 

suspension wise the ss cobalt is alot better than my cav , but the feel of the power on the but dyno , both of my 2.4 cavs rate alot higher


keep in mind im talking butt dyno here , lol


the lowrpm tq output of the 2.4 tc motor , vs the low rpm feel of the 2.0s/c or the 2.4 vvt , is lacking because of the DRIVE-BY-WIRE , so your foot cant tell you butt dyno to start , lol


i was very happy with the drive i had in the 2.4 ss , more so than my drive in the 2.0sc


but cars ride well , but the 2.4 ss seamed to be happier on the road(for lack of better terms) , maybe it just suits my driving style more than the suspension on the s/c

but both are great cars

 

^^^^ HAHA Butt Dyno - Fu*kin priceless HAHA

 

I don't see how it's humanly possible to say the 2.4 felt "more powerful than the 2.0L..I think some people are lying to themselves. That's like me saying : "yea, the V6 mustang just felt like it had more ***** than the GT."

 

thats because feel is subjective and different for every perosn. He knows that the S/C and 2.4L SS will smoke his Z24

 

the question is, why does he have a Z24 anyway_? I could pass that thing going in reverse

06 SS 2.4

 

what an idiot........

 

detroit_motor if want to step up to my cav go for it , and its not a Z24 , its a 2.4 ls sedan


the 2.0 sc i drove has 7 miles on it the 2.4 has 22 miles , im guessing the 2.0 had87 in the tank knowing dealers , and it had about 1/8 of a tank if that


its a shame only 1 saw the humor , guess that shows most of you all are idiots

 

ohhh OK, Yeah I was half in the bag when I made that statement, so I aplogize for my ignorance. I pick mine up tommorow. I'm having the dealer install those custom pulleys right off the bat. Living in detroit and working for GM can be, well awesome.

 

I also disagree with the SS badging for non sc, should have been RS

 

However I do think that the car will respond super well to mods. With simple bolts on you should go well over 200.

 

SS badging on the 2.4 was a bad choice by Chev.

Looks like it has the getrag tranny in the picture - shifter length.

 

Why ??????? If it helps sales it's a good thing!!! Wouldn't you like the company that makes the car you like to stay in business ? Why would anyone ever give a sh_t what kind of badge another car has on it ????? People need to stop looking for reasons to get their feelings hurt.......

 

some people think the 2.4L SS is nothing more then an LS with a bigger engine. Some people are wrong.

Its performance gives it rights to use the SS badge. Some people can't handle more thn one SS but this is nothing new. In the 60's you had multiple engines with most SS cars.
And the 2.4L SS could beat alot of those SS cars.

 

Yeah, I hear what you're saying. The SS and SS S/C are indentical in chassis, suspension, wheel hubs, brakes, etc. Just different in engines, transmission, wheel size, and one giant wing.

It's funny how many SS S/C owners get so defensive about there being another SS out there. I didn't know 34HP made you so much more superior. People, the SS S/C isn't a wickedly fast car, some of you are starting to develop SRT-4 complex.

 

the ss/sc and the ss 2.4 have different suspensions


the ss/sc has its own suspension , the ss 2.4 has its own , the 2.2 have thier own

 

You guys should see the potential in the 2.4 engine. Its only a 30 hp difference too. As soon as aftermarket shows up, I think it will scream. Throw an aftermarket blower on there and BAM, tons of torque AND hp!

Who knows what gm has in store for their ss/non sc as far as kits. Im seriously thinking about a non s/c. I may be too poor to afford a ss/sc. I actually work for my toys.

 

C'mon!

What have this country's car enthusiasts come to? I agree with the turbo (That's what I intend to do when I trade in my base coupe for the 2.4 next year) but an AUTOMATIC?! Brother, you need an intervention. You can have your 4 doors, but don't be a woman! Manual, all the way!

 

Thank you!

As bredick said, there's just an SS badge on the 2.4 and there's a supercharger badge on the SS/SC. I've personally always like normally aspirated power anyway. That's all the ricers have EVER had was the amount of boost pressure and ******* carbon fiber hoods! An SS for the rest of us won't devalue your blower! Calm down! We all own/love the same car!

 

That right there sums it up better then I could ever put,

good show man, good show.

 

We do all love the same car, a few posts back i saw someone say my car should have an RS badge cause its 171hp 2.4L... i'd have still bought it that way, but it is true that in the 60's the SS name was on the same car with different engines. we're all brothers on this site if we own cobalts. if mine ever gets here (next week), i'll be an official part of the family with my 2.4L SS! i'll post pics too, there aren't too many out there of our car 2.4 guys... lets get some
