The way i understand it is that they will be identical except for the G85 performance package. PS they do come with a short throw shifter already, and there is a difference in the suspension on an SS and a non-SS.

 

NOTHING IS CHANGING..... the 05' SS s/c will be exactly the same as the 06' The G85 package will be the same in both... idk what anyone means by it being diff, if you lok at all the options the only thing that ahs changed is you will be able to switch off the passenger airbgas in the 06'

 

was just thinking that if the options were changing maybe the perf susp of next year would be better than the one this year....that's all

thanks guys, feel much better now about having bought my '05 SS yesterday
now if only it had limited-slip and recaros ...wonder how much the diff is gonna cost to change out later on this year.

anywho, thanks for the info guys.

 

Hey Guys:

I haven't seen the orange metallic SS yet... I'm thinking about ordering it ...but??

Also I'm a lil bit concerned about the rear spoiler... it looks kinda teeny bopper to me... any other options ... probably have to go after market for something?

Does anybody know any good chev dealers in maryland ... near DC area?

Thanx

 

I have a Sunburst Orange Metallic SS/SC, and I love the colour. It looks much better in person than in photos. Go to your dealer on a bright, sunny day, and look at some of the Orange Cobalt's on the lot (likely base coupes). On a dark day, it'll look almost coppery, but when the sun is shining, its a nice bright orange, and it really sparkles...

I'm still undecided on the wing. But yeah, your only real option if you don't like it is to hit the aftermarket - or maybe swap it for the wing off a regular Cobalt.

No idea about Maryland, sorry

 

Thanx for the info on the orange metallic... im going to follow your suggestion.

Beenthere,

all gm vehicles are gettin that from now on

 

OK,

So I am reading through the forums and any other information I can get about the 2006 cobalt ss, or ss/sc, and from what I gather is that the 2006 model is going to feature the 2.4 non-supercharged engine. Now the specs are not to bad, running 173 naturally should have decent preformance outputs, but it doesn't seem to compare to the 210 hp supercharged version. I am wondering if the 2005 is going to be the only model with the supercharger? If so, it will probably hold a good amount of value. Also, I havn't seen another one around my home town of Porltand, OR yet, and I'm starting to think that there isn't going to be very many 2005's made. Anybody know something that I am missing?

 

you can get the '06 in a 2dr ss/sc like '05. there will also be a n/a 2.4L ss model w/ different rims, gfx, spoiler, and other stuff....can get that one in 2 and 4dr...but all the specs should be posted toward beginning of this post and on the chevy website.

 

I believe the 2006 SC's will be as limited as the 2005's, however, there will more 2006's produced mainly because the build date started 9 months before the 2005's. I think the 2005's will hold good value because of their limited production. The only reason I didn't get one is because none of them were available with the G85 option in Canada
I still think I made a good decision holding off on the 2006.
