I can't see it looking too much different than what they look now. The body style would only be 3 yrs old at that point. I hope it looks just like my car does now. I love this design. Perhaps it will have a hood scoop?

LSX RWD S/C conversion

GM is making an announcement on Oct. 29th just prior to SEMA, which they say will "make the tuner crowd very happy"
I expect the official announcement is only 4 days away.

I would actually like to see something better honestly. I know if they start pushing 300hp it will be up in the 28-30k range, but I just wish GM would put out more something like 25Kish and siting close to 300. Then it would probably have to be AWD or RWD...but I just kinda think the LSJ was a little underpowered. I mean a boosted car only running mid to low 14's? Sure its great for the price tag, but I just want to see something to compete with the Sti and the Evo, but stay under 27K if that is possible, and not have to divide power across 2 drivetrains.

it'll look like the sssc but with the dual 5spoke rims and hhr ss seats steering wheel and SS badging on the steering wheel. just add that and corporate radio and theres ur car w/ turbo boost gauge in place of s/c one...

God, first of all Evo and STi's are around 35k+ new. With less then 5 grand into my car I kill both stock STis and Evos. I'm real close to high 12s but I'm still waiting to get this clutch broken in. Expect high 12s on a 26k car = my cobalt. When the SS/TC does come out if it does....it will compete with the EVO and STi on the 1/4th and with a few mods it won't be long to get one in the 11s or faster.

I know, I know. But do the same things to the STi or EVO and it will beat your car. I am talking about..honestly the Cobalt SS S/C was underpowered for what it is, you CANNOT deny that. I mean cuz the Si civic wasn't that far behind and it was like 3k less. I know GM can do ALOT better. And if they can give you 200hp with 24k and as nice as the car is everything combined, why cant they give the HHR interior (WHICH I ABSOLUTELY LOVE) and they have, and give it a litle bit meaner look with like a hood scoop, maybe sit a little lower, and a slightly smaller wing, and then throw in some good power. I DO NOT want AWD, the are nice for launching sure, but they are not worth it to me, and that is really where the price jack comes from. If they can keep it FWD and put some suspension on the car to prevent tremendous wheel hop like in the one now, and push it say 295 WHP with about 300tq...i would so get that. However, I might just trade my **** in anyway, only cuz i love the HHR seats and interior.
