Looking to get back in the cobalt game

Hey I've been driving around my 2002 SS Camaro around and its far from being what most people say street friendly... I fill up at least three times a week. I had a N/A SS before totaling it so I know I want something more. Should I go for a SS/SC or just shell out more money for the SS/TC???
All opinions are welcome

I would just the tc simply because its newer. also getting 300whp after just a tune and sometimes minor mods is a big plus.

It depends on how much you're looking to spend and what you want from the car. The TC has more power, but that isn't what the magazines and such have been raving about -- it's how well it handles. You can make a SC just as quick and handle as well as a TC. If you're looking at a newer SC and there isn't a big price difference in getting an 08 TC, then I'd say go with a TC. If a TC is a bit more than you're looking to spend, then you could get an SC and upgrade it as you get the funds. Personally, I like the idea of getting more in stock form and went with a TC rather than an SC, which would need work just to get to the TC's performance level.

or you could buy a cheaper ss/sc sinice theyre older, and for 2-2500 for a turbo build you could blow the doors off of a tc and not have as much of a car to pay off.

Keep in mind as well, the TC is less on insurance seeing as its safer. It would be $100 less every year to insure a TC for me, over an SC.

Hey vetteman, im in MD i used to own a 2002 camaro ss, and i recently just sold my dad a 2002 Z06 that I had for 2 years. I bought my tc to save on gas and the more expensive maintenance of running a LSX car as a daily driver. Lets meet up, ill take you for a ride in the TC and let you drive it. My car is hpt tuned by BYT TURBO SS , i have a ZZP downpipe, zzp charge piping, airbox mod, ttr solid mounts, progress drop, and some other minor stuff. With BYT's tune, my zzp downpipe and my airbox mod I made 328whp/392wtq thats roughly 400$ in aftermarket expenses including his tuning tune achieve that gain. Not bad imo, and it puts a smile on your face that was its selling point for me, that and the fact it can hang with the vette in the twisties .
