Hey,
I was wondering how reliable the SS supercharged Cobalt SS is. Is is as reliable as the naturally aspirated ones? Is it much more $$ to maintain and fix when problems come around? Hoe long can you expect a supercharged Cobalt engine to last?

-Thanks

 

It all depends how hard you beat on it and how far you push its power. We have people on stock and GMS2 LSJ's well over 100k miles.

 

any car is reliable as long as you don't push it past its limits.

 

Geo Metro's limits=65 mph

 

this is true. lol.

all i know is that my 95 ford explorer would do about 10mph more (~125) than my cobalt has ever gotten to. lol.

sad thing is is that the Exploder felt more stable at 125 then my cobalt at 115 lol

 

the lsj is pretty ok on reliability. I mean theres the standard issues that it can have, that any higher mileage owner can tell you but as long as maintenance was done and it wasnt abused badly it should be fine.

 

Thanks for the replies. Keep them coming.

-Thanks
