G85 performance package gone?
G85 performance package gone?
I was building a Cobalt SSsc on Chevy.com and there is no G85 performance package listed as an option anymore!?!?!? WHAT THE HELL!?
Someone, please help!?
Someone, please help!?
Yea I didn't remember it being on their either. Then again, at the time I was using that I wanted the color keyed seats. I didn't change my order till the morning it went through to the G85.
Odd, it's gone. To be able to choose it you had to select the ebony inserts. This time around it's no longer an option. Doubt they would pull that package. Maybe it's just a scripting issue on the site.
There saying the LSD is standard on the ss/sc for 06.You can still get the recaro seats but its not G85.Thats what GM is saying,I don't know if it's true or not
Thats after a bunch of phone calls.
G85
I just ordered a Red SS/SC 3 weeks ago. I got the G85 with no problem. the only catch was the ebony inserts had to be selected. I used the Chevy employee purchase site and just printed the form. The dealer was able to pull up the option list at the dealer and it was there. So it is definately still available.

I did this, and on Chevrolet.com for 06 the performance package isn't an option. Even on GMBUYPOWER.com... not an option!!!??
What zip code are you using? I want to try a different one to see if that's it?

I was just on the GMCanada website and i built a SS/SC with the recaro performance package (G85) and it included LSD and the seats. So the LSD is NOT standard for 06. And just because both tires spin, doesn't mean you have LSD. LSD transfers torque to the tire that has the best grip. Atleast thats the explaination on the GM site.
Update!!!
UPDATE!!!
I got this response from Chevrolet.
