SS or SRT-4

Probably a bad idea to post this up on the Cobalt forums...I have a bone stock '06 SS/SC. Before I decide to mod it, Mkulryz has offered to buy it from me for $13,500 roughly. And I found an '05 SRT-4 with literally exactly the same miles as my SS. Which do I do? I love my SS, but the SRT has to much more mod potential because of the stock turbo and already 230whp. BLAH!!! I'm kinda thinking I wanna keep the Cobalt because I love it wayyy too much. But I am a power junky at heart and want speed and power for the least money I can spend. Any help!?!

You'll get better power numbers for less money with the SRT-4 than an ss/sc, so if that's your only concern, I'd say go for it.

SRT4 with 50 trim = PWNAGE

Go SRT4. Mine has been 1000x better than my SS/SC was.

I never once mentiond PWNING ability, I meant the Speed3 is nicer then all of those.
MS3's just look alot nicer to me. they do like mods too. and yet again. sexy.

why even add in the speed3....that car is an extra thousand of dollars....

SRT-4 if you want power...pm me if you want to know exactly what to expect.

380 safe hp on these with stg3 and supporting mods....= easy

keep your balt if you want your nice interior....

Classic

V8 + CAI + gears + catless-headers + catless mid-pipe + catless catback + N20 shot = low 12's, high 11's in most engines.

The only thing that would be catted would be the midpipe.

OP you mentioned the Srt puts down 230Whp stock like it's alot more, do you know how much whp the SS puts down stock (and before some one says it I'm not talking about the tq diff). Anyways I like the 4drs and whatnot.I would say white Srt-4.
