Ooo sorry. An '01 Cavy... I have enough cash right now to buy an SC just waiting a littttle bit longer for the weather to get better. Yes, GM going down the toilet and I'm still buying an SC. Not sure how that's relevant though. I just turned 18 and have $16k to spend on a car, so I'm not sure how you're trying to insult me here?

As it stands, SS/TC already has some parts backlogged. Of course, that's unrelated to them intentionally trying to shut **** down. But yeah I agree with you completely, even if GM itself went under TODAY there'd still be parts... so let's all settle down.

This is terrible terrible news for the performance enthusiasts and especially for ones on a budget but in the long run (hopefully) it will pay off and make GM a stronger company with even BETTER cars. Silver lining anyone?

Easy there... Don't get to big on yourself. I never tried to insult you...your the one that said who cares about the SS/TC stage kit someone asked about.

I politely asked what your problem was and you avoided it until I said something.

Now I'll ask again "Why does the SS/TC stage kit question not matter?"

Because simply in the grand scheme of things, that is, the fact that GM high performance vehicles are being postponed, I fail to see how upgrades to the turbo Cobalt are of any significance at this point. Go get tuned for 320+ tq and be done with it.

No, they are just trying to play the politicians. Hybrids are not the answer.

Wow!! Just think about it. Electric cars all over the place. 0-60 in 27 sec flat. The 1/4 mile in 1.34 MINUTES at 47 MPH. Covered with high performance photovoltiac cells. I'm getting a woody. Then we wake up from the nightmare.

You forgot the word "indefinitely" which means if GM gets the ball rolling they can resume the HPVO once again, Your logic is great.. but never theorize before you have gathered all your data!!...

I think we won't know what will be affected fully until the next couple months....

For example do you know what stage exactly the SS/TC kit was at in production?

Do you know if you can have a dealer order a stage kit for any of the new LNF applications?


My point is this... don't assume.

IMO electric cars dont have to be slow, they can make unrivaled low end torque

what are the GMPD guys gonna build? forced induction hand built hybrid engines? They couldnt even figure out how to design the SSTC intake with like 3 months, glad i didnt wait for a cruze SS

on another note looks like Hahn or Psycostevo will be doin my tune

I'm assuming you own a Cobalt sedan? And I'm not sure what you're getting at in this reply... are you implying that you feel sorry for Cobalt sedans so you bought one?

Yea. Couldn't stand that lumpy, long doored coupe. Good thing they made a pretty car to go along with it.

Yeah no one but an owner has ever been that defensive of the Cobalt sedan's styling.

The Cobalt sedan being a "pretty car" is fact?
