Finally got pics of the new Cobalt

As many of you know, I recently traded the a 2007 Tiburon for a 06 Cobalt SS due to some serious financial needs. I finally washed/waxed that ***** and took some pictures before and after Springfest 2011 last Saturday. Figured I'd show what I'm working with now.

My buddy Langy pumping my gas for me.

Washed, today

This was like 2 AM morning of Springfest, trying to get it clean, waxed, and sexy.

Taken facing the road from my garage. Gotta love VA scenery on a good day.

WalMart parking lot one night

The day I brought it home.



I can't help but giggle like a 3rd grader every time I hear the supercharger, and laugh my *** off when I'm still averaging 26mpg.
I'll have interior, and engine pics up later.

Oddly enough, dark red. Lmfao, Here's a picture of it.

It definitely was pretty, but just too many negatives to hold on to it.

Phyrric, your car is on Enkei EKM3's yes?
How do you like those? I'm thinking of getting a set of those, or Enkei Performance Lusso's

awesome, i hate tiburons! i dont think its the car itself, its more because of every tiburon owner i have known has been a tool bag. that "my car's the coolest car in my single car garage" mentality.

congrats, great choice. slap a 2.7" pulley on there with some 80# injectors, tune on e85 and you'll rape some face

if my car was still supercharged i would skip modding the m62 (stock supercharger) and get a TVS supercharger if funds permit. that route will save time and money in the long run.
congratz and welcome to the fam.

Hell yes it is. I've gotta do some research on the correct lowering setup. I see a lot of people on sportlines, but I'm thinking about full coils. I plan on a ZZP Stage 3 to tide me over until funds can support the OTTP stage 3. By all means throw some ideas my way. Lol. And thanks for Thar warm welcomes!

i just drove back from bismarck the otherday after getting tuned for e85, about a 2hr drive on the highway, pretty straight shot, and averaged 40.5 mpg(according to the DIC). i was cruising about 74mph. i dont know how reliable the DIC is but thats definitely what it said :P

Nah, but I was out in town today. Much as I am almost everyday, riding around with nothing to do.

I'm contemplating wheels to go along with my low, but I really can't find any that get my attention. Enkei Performance Lusso's are a choice, along with Drag DR-31's. I'm open to all wheels suggestions btw.

Also, has anyone had experience with wheel adapters that take it to 5x114.3? If it comes down to it, I'll get some of those and roll XXR 522's. Lol

Damn then I saw someone else with a vic red SS lol. The Lusso's are a nice wheel, I have actually wanted to see a SS with the Enkei GTC01's. I like those but your choice is a nice wheel.
