I was hanging out with a few friends the other nite at pizza hut when this mustang pulled up and started talking **** about the ss/sc and he said he beats cobalts all the time now i have nothing against the other cobalts because i use to own the ltz and upgraded to the ss/sc 6 months later, so i explained to him that there is a difference between the ss and the ss/sc in power and explained it to him and i guess all he had raced was the ss. I did not race him because i had just got outta court 2 days ago and beat a reckless driving charge so i am not racing anymore on the streets and i had a cop come by while i was talking to friends and he asked me if i was going out street racing tonight cuz he was going to be keeping an eye out for my car. Just wondering if anybody else gets people who dont know the difference between the ss and the ss/sc like i said above i have no problems with the other balts it just gets annoying when people think they can beat the ss/sc when all theve really beat is the lower model.

 

All the time. But go figure, he's a mustang owner. Take him to the track and show him what's up with your right foot!!

 

i found most people think the ss/sc is the same thing as an LS with a different wing. i tried explaining that they share the same name and thats about it. different engine, different suspension, different transmission, different brakes and so on, but they still go "yah but its still a cobalt"

 

if they say that, point out that a Shelby GT500 is the same car as the v6 auto coupe that all the high school girls just "OMG, have to have, daddy please?!?!!?!"

 

i get people that say its the new cavalier all the time. that kinda irks me.

 

thats a new one that would **** me off i think more than people mistaking the ss/sc for the base balt

 

i just would have used the classic "only little girls ride ponies" laughed, and then smoked his slow ass

 

Its the wing.

 

Do I sense some LS owner put downs? And whats this about ragging on the j-bodies again?

 

was it even a gt?

 

not myself, i think the LS's are great cars, but they are a completely different car then the ss/sc

 

thanks man i own a ls lol only reason is money issues. if it wasnt for me oweing 10k on my lancer and they only gave me 5 for it i would have got this yellow ss/sc that had a stage 2 upgrade already on it it was 23 or 24k but if i would have went to finance a car straight up i could have got that. Everyone around here says a cobalt is a glorified cavalier, im like no the cobalts taillights look way better than the last model cav with the huge silver thing in the middle on the back lol

 

yes its a very common misconception ppl have. In my area everyone seems to assume an SS has a 2.0 LSJ as well, even my friends were under that same misconception until i showed them that the ss 2.4 is like a base version of the SS cobalt line up and the ss/sc is the upper model

 

i rarely see 2.4s i think alot of people out there are smoking the **** out of ss s/c's.. and the people here on the boards are just in denial.

 

according to production numbers they made a bit more of the 2.4s then the supercharged, not alot more, like 4% of the total cobalt production compared to the 3% for the ss/sc, but a bit more. and while people might be smoking the ss/sc most of them dont realize they beat a different car then a normal cobalt.

 

Oh yes, that happens a lot. Most people don't know there are two SS models. Everyone thinks if you beat a cobalt with the wing than its an SS....or if it has an ss badge, its the fastest trim. Bottomline, those people are dumb as all hell. And yes, I have heard the upgraded cavy line before, thats old new. Don't worry about it dude. Just explain the difference, and go on about your business. There was even a video of a stock altima beating a 2.4L and he kept saying "Altima beating a cobalt ss....altima beating a cobalt ss", and then when all the people who know about cobalts let him know it wasn't an ss/sc, he got all defensive, saying, "Its still a cobalt ss!!!"

Don't worry of it dude. It gives the 2.0L's more of a surprise thing. People think they're going to win...then..WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE *taillights*

 

Mustang owners............ Enough said...... Stomp on the pedal and then stomp on his ass!

 

x2..also, I see more 2.4L's all the time. They made automatic variables, so that the everyday person can drive it. Of course there are more on the road, and people constantly mistake the 2. All they see is SS and think thats the fastest version. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of stuff that beats up on the ss/sc, but not like most of these people are talking about.

 

thats very well put... Toward the end of 3rd gear you have to damn there get the Thomas Guide to see where you may have left them..

 

my girl just traded in her POS mustang for a new Cobalt.

 

^^ Great choice...

 

^^x2

 

a guy in this nasty sounding Civic wouldnt race me last night so I stopped next to him and asked why. He said "I know that thing has a Supercharger so whats the point?" Then he made an Ilegal turn to get away from me.

There for, I believe its the wing. I got the SS/sc wing but I only got a 2.2 auto.

 

99% of mustang owners are fackin retards, not all but close. I dont know what it is but Them and RSX-S owners are the biggest morons i've ever meet.

 

^ Ain't that the damn truth...
