ok so here my question, what are your dislikes or problems with your colbat ss/sc? im currently looking at getting one. im driving a 95 z28 a4 right now and i have some dislikes conserning interer and comfort. mostly hate the sits cupholder and raddles. and if i do decide to get a ss/sc what would your suggestion be on packages? thanks in advance

 

g85 if u can find one

 

Wait for the turbo 08.5

 

^^x2 and DON'T get the turbo!

 

Never had rattles in either of mine. If you can find one with recaros, your comfort issues is solved. G85 =Limited slip differential and Recaro seats.

 

My only complaint is the wheel hop, other than that I love my SS/SC!

 

yeah personally i would wait a little while for the new cobalt Turbo buying balts used isnt the greatest idea or so ive heard, i bought used and had to replace the clutch after 1000 miles kinda sucked also kinda my fault

 

im sick of people complaining about wheel hop...learn how to feather the gas and play with the clutch and u'll be fine...get some mounts to (tranny and engine)

and as for getting a used one make sure its from a chevy dealership and still under warranty and ur good

until u mod

 

SHHHHHHH!!! Stop whining! What if he wants to do burn-outs! Take the stick out of your butt and take a deep breath. Everything is going to be alright.

 

i wasnt talking about him i was responding to ur only complaint is wheel hop...learn to drive and u wont have that problem

 

He asked a question and I answered it. Not everyone is a proffesional driver like you. One day though, I hope to be...

 

i love it.. no complaints.. actually only thing is is its a ***** magnet.. so if you dont like the vage dont get one

i have no problems with wheel hop cuz i can drive

 

thanks alot for the info guys. the only other car im looking at right now would be a 04-05 srt4(its cheaper) would you guys pick the ss/sc over the srt4 anyday and why

 

I just got the ss/sc cobalt two weeks ago...was debating whether or not to get a Honda because thats all I've ever owned...but damn dude...this car takes the cake! as soon as i test drove one...i had to have it! Also, the cobalts have "quiet steel" so the noise inside is relatively quiet. as far as squeaks...i haven't heard anything yet...the trunk rattles a little with two 12's pumpin I think you have to get a cobalt fully loaded tho...i drove the 2.4 ss and it wasn't that great...no racing seats...suspension was less nimble...engine didn't have the get-up-and-go...like the old saying "go all the way or go home!" i don't think you'll be disappointed!

 

oh yea i knew that much already it was ether the supercharged or nothing

 

My seat is not holding up well.(18k)
Cd player gets discs stuck in it. Wont read them or eject. Have to disconnect battery to get them to read the disc. Happened a couple times.
Paint chipping around the window buttons and cover around buttons has fit issues.
Ac fan is a little loud.
I dont like first gear.
Ive had no major problems(2005) though and Ive been happy with the car.
I bought the car used and I thought it was a good value for the performance and overall style of the car.

 

if you can...have them locate an 07 with the G85 for you...not too many around...i got mine from a dealer like 300 miles away...but it had EVERYTHING...lsd, cd/mp3, onstar, xm, sunroof, two tone leather...but since they had to drive it 300 miles back to my dealer i put up a stink...they ended up giving me another $500 in Chevy Incentives...at the end of signing I had more money in rebates than the Stage 1+2, Manifold and exhaust cost....sweet

 

im going to go test drive sometime next week to get a feel for the car. I already know no dealerships around town have the g85 package yet alone a color i would even consider but if they can somehow find me a black ss/sc with the g85 i will pass up the srt4

 

like i said...make the dealer work! Have them look around and you'll get what you want...I went into there with all the info from CobaltSS.net and my own research (I knew more about the car than the salesman did) and was like...this is the deal...i want X, Y, Z...and I want it NOW!
As far as the srt4...its a preeeetty damn fast car...however, i haven't driven one...just known a kid who had one...gotten a ride once...as far as fit and finish it was equal as far as I'm concerned.

 

i actualy just got my 05 ss/sc last week. its got a slight clunk in the rear suspention, but im going to venture a guess at the lowering springs. this car has a few things done to it. what i was most impressed with was the power and handling, its amazing. even driving a stock ss/sc it was great, a few bolt ons makes it that much better. also for the price of the car, you do get a lot of options.

ive driven an srt4, aside from being fast, i didnt like it. drove ok, just nothing jumped out at me. as my dad says (worked for 25 years at chrysler, now runs an independant shop), how long does it take before the neon in it really comes out.

 

yea im not to worried about the speed like i said i am currently drive a z28 and i have a buddy with a srt4 and i beat him everytime. i know the ss/sc wont be as fast but i dislike the intearer on the srt and i hear good thing about the ss. and hopefully with a few mods i will be able to take him on in my new ss

 

x2 Yeah I’m having that same problem, that’s why I’m looking in to the motor and tranny mounts.

i take out srt 4 and all i have is a steg 3 clutch from clutch masters

 

I agree 100% and its not about knowing how to drive, its about the front wheel drive.
