Just got my new Black 2010 Cobalt SS today !!!
Been waiting awhile to get it. My first manual car (still learning)
Any tips will be appreciated for a newb!! Thanks, new to forum also!

 

congrats, post pics? Did you get the performance display or a standard boost gauge? High rise wing or low rise spoiler? Best of luck learning to drive manual, practice makes perfect

 

i learned on this car too

youtube taught me haha

 

Congrats on the new car! Good luck on learning stick with it. I learned on my TC too. The car's really damn touchy. If you can master this car you will be good to go on anything else.

 

Congrats.

 

ooohhh congrats! really nice cars, fast to, I learned stick on my current 2.4 SS, cant wait to Turbo it, then I can finally show up some of you fancy pants Turbo guys haha!

have fun with it, remember, dont slip the clutch...

 

Congrats!

 

Congrads, and welcome to the forum man! Good to see more CT guys floatin around here...

 

Congrats on the purchase man. I learned on various imports (dad's civic and sister's corolla) but this is the first manual I've owned and to be honest despite my previous experience driving this car was almost like learning all over again

The 2010's only come with the RPD.

 

Pictures?

 

I'll second that! I've been driving nothing but stick since I was 18 (and thats about 30 years ago!) and I still managed to stall my SS/TC about 3 times in the first week I owned it. It is very touchy because of all the power it has. Here's a tip: I had the Stage 1 kit installed last week and it makes the car a lot smoother through 1st and 2nd gear. Not to mention wicked fast

congrats, order a clutch now and have it on standby. and no, that burning smell inside the car isnt normal.

 

Got the display and the low spoiler! Got the basics down from the guy at the dealership which who was nice enough to teach me for quite awhile. I was pretty nervous as I drove like 30 miles home, but it was amazing how this car handles.

 

Lookin good! Have fun keeping that black clean. It drives me insane.

 

looks like mine when i bought it!! I learned to drive manual on my Balt too. And i second the good luck keeping it clean thing.

 

congrats on the new car, you mind trading it for mine?? lol
im still learning on my ls havent stalled once though

 

Looks nice
