Interested Corolla Owner

Are the SS Colbalts being sold yet? I havent seen one on the road yet but pics of them look great. They have caught my interest and I'm just here to see what these things have to offer. To be honest im not much into the standard Cobalts, but the SS model looks damn good. I currently have a supercharged Corolla with what I believe hasbasically the same type of blower that you guys have... it is a roots-style blower right? Im only running about a 14.2 in the quarter mile but im sure you guys are about there if not faster. Great site, I hope to learn a few things.

Brian

Welcome to the site.

The supercharged SS runs a mid 14 on average stock, but as stated above the fastest run so far to my knoledge was a 14.1 with just an intake.

Tracks are closed this time of season and the aftermarket has picked up. We should see high to mid 13's in the spring.

Any pics of your car?

here's a few, Im running close to a 14.2 with alot done... almost too much. Should have just bought a Stang or something with the money I spent, haha.

TRD supercharger@9.5psi, water injection, injector controller by splitsecond, intake, header, full custom hi-flow exhaust with magnaflow muffler, short shifter, wideband o2 sensor and a full suspension upgrade. Also some visuals like dvd and HIDS, bla-bla-bla.

Please tell me you ran "close" to 14.2 on street tires. Any dyno numbers?

It looks like you have something good going right now...The cobalts are awesome cars but it would be hard for me to sell something I had put that much money into...

For some reason your car looks like an older style lexus gs series...I dont know why it just does (to me).

I completely agree here. I think you've put way too much into that Corolla to give her up now. Unless there's some reason you just can't stand her anymore, I would stick with it. I don't see how you could sell that and get the money you put into it back, and even then you'd still take a hit getting a new Cobalt. That car looks pretty sick, though. I've never seen a Corolla come out that sharp with aftermarkets.

That front end resembles the Lexus IS-Series. GS, too since it was mentioned, but my first take on it was an IS300. Maybe it's the headlights...
