SS/TC pissing me off

is anyone else hear in the same boat as me pissed that once this ss turbocharged comes out my supercharged ss is gonna feel like the little brother weakling car that gets no respect... i guess im jealous now that im gonna have to sit here and hear all the talk on the turbocharger is this and that. i know i cant get my s/c to break a sub 13 with all this money i already put into it, and now these turbocharged guys are gonna be flying around me and no one is gonna care about my car im upset brothers i always gotta have to best of the best i now im bottom line again. i was rooting for this not to come out, but yet again go america, glad to see people getting paid to et something like this done for our economy but im still jealous, i want one sooo bad but i know i cant afford to trade in my ss/sc, its already paid for.. not many people can say that

i hope i dont hear "oh nice supercharger, too bad its not the turbocharged"

and i want a blow off valve!!!!!

I hear ya. I need to get my hands on one ASAP.
Not because I have the “little bother “ now, but because the T/C was so much fun!

I feel ya. My younger brother (he is 17 & I'm 19) just got a 350Z. I'm jealous so I'm getting the SS/TC to hopefully compete with him.

Spend 3 grand on a turbo kit and you'll be way faster than the new SS/TC. Or you could even wait for the TVS to come out and have the same result.

What do you have? Because if you can't break 13's with the LSJ that's sad. I guess if you're stock or have minimal mods you would be pissed about it coming out.

If, its already paid off then why cant you get a new turbo one? Plus, 500 bucks for a stage 2 on ebay and you should get 13's.

i love my supercharger and wont get rid of it, i like having the best of the best too but with all the money Ive got in mine and the money still sitting in the shop waiting to go in, Im plenty happy. The turbo is cool but every car out there is turbo'd now, not many supercharged on the other hand. I like it it and im sticking by my LSJ

I'm already known as the fastest Cobalt around my area, so I'm looking forward to ripping up the new SS/TCs when they come out. Stock ones aren't gonna beat me, not at all.

The aftermarket turbo kits for the ss/sc will out perform the ss/tc any day and at that i think the ss/tc will need some work to keep up with the ss/sc with a turbo kit

well i was running 13.9s with stage2 injectors zzp 2.9 drop in filter intake with wicked toon. i have in now: 60s, 2.6, injen cai, zzp header/dp combo, big front mount h/e, torque dampner, and debating getting my blower ported or those holes filled.. no meth or nitrous. i dont think ill run better than a 13.3 with them if im lucky.. i used to have an evo i know the turbocharged feeling of power.. but im strickly all american, traded it straight up for a new 06 ss/sc. i can drive a car close to its potential i know at the track im gonna get ramped on by this t/c.. if im seeing 12s ill be happy though

Yeah you guys will be the little brothers of the TC's but don't forget you'll still be our big bro's to us 2.4 guys!

That's part of the reason why I went with a Pontiac, I didn't want to be a "SS Non-Supercharged" whereas my GT is the G5's top of the line.

I also liked the looks better

I agree!!! The wine of the supercharger sounds better than the turbo. Plus theirs more mods for the s/c. The only thing i'm going to be pissed about is the no lift shift!!!

The way I see it, there's always going to be something faster and something nicer - that's just how it goes. It's easy to say, "Damn, if I just waited one more year..." No matter how long you hold out, something better will always come along later, be it 1 year, 2 years, whatever. Regardless of the new SS/TC, I love my SS/SC because, hey - I could do a lot worse.
