L76 was originally Holden's version of the 6.0 L (5,967 cc/364.1 CID) Generation IV engine.

so the l76 wouldnt be in a 99 suburban... hahahahahahahah.

 

Bowtie you really should just stop now.

 

my ls9 in my ss/sc needs little to no maitenance as well.

 

haha you relize you are still bringing no fact to the table? just more smoke out your ass.

please pull you fanboy head out of your fanboy ass.

 

dont get an infraction because of a moron.... i didnt report it because i think its funny, but he may report it.. you may want to edit it.

 

As you Canadians would say excuse my French ...was doing too much research on the g8 before I bought my Cobalt.. it is the L31 .. 5700 And it is legendary. I don't care what you say. By the way RESPECT isn't given it is earned .. Fan boy ... how did you manage to pull that out of your 5 word vocabulary ?

 

lawl thats what i was saying


apparently he spends to much time wrenching on motors to read their engine name.

oh haha ...right...

the wikipedia searching powers are strong in this one.

and no...us canadians would say...

"shut the **** up eh"

 

bowtie are you just using wikipedia/forums or something? Do you have any real experience with cars of any kind? Subarus are some of the more reliable cars around and how exactly has it been proven that gm has the best 4wd system in the world?


oh btw 4wd and awd are very different.

you are digging yourself into a hole. if you think the l76 has been proven to go 500k, i doubt there is a single one out there yet.

just so you guys know, last year the lightning lap deal was done by multiple drivers, so if it's close it's pretty much up in the air which car performs better.

 

I think you all need to keep on topic.

 

So, we all know by now that BowTieTillIdie likes to argue and flame rather than carry on a discussion, so until the mods ban him, let's ignore him. Anyway.... I think an AWD community giving us props is great. Makes me think how cool an AWD Cobaly SS would be. Here's hoping that the Saab X-drive comes into the next gen.

 

I bet if you ask half the people here about their first car they would tell you some make and model ..


My first car was a used motor and transmission on a pallet ..

Here ya go son!

You tell me ..

And no this isnt an easy pickup with rwd ..

Its a mid 90's gm car engine pull the works...

thats the start to my motorhead addiction so you can talk smack but I'v been wrenching on all types of motors for a while now buddy ..

 

yea the motor may last alright, save for going through 12 ignition modules, 3 transmissions, breaking the snapring that holds the output shaft in place in the transfer case, blowing the diff pin through the diff cover, replacing the front diff actuator at least 2 times, to name a few. no i didnt read all that, those are things im constantly fixing. im a transmission tech, i work at a private shop, and im constantly working on all those things on chevy trucks. they are a half decent truck, they will last usualy 100k miles before having major problems, but once they are passed that the problems start showing up. dont tell me im wrong, i can tell you why each thing i listed fails, ive worked on enough of it to know.

im not saying they are garbage, if i had to own an suv or 1/2 ton truck id have one, but i know whats in store and i know how to fix em.

 

ha...ha...owned again.

a motor and a transmission does not classify as a car. i beleive it falls under the "motor and transmission on a pallet" catagory.

 

True

Very true. But 6 seconds isn't really close.

As far as the other forum giving respect. At post #12 shows ignorance. The guy didn't know the Cobalt was that fast. Post #13 stated a fact, "It even beat the EVO". Post #14 bashes the **** outta the new STi and then says "A front wheel drive Cobalt SS priced 10,000 less than an STI spanked it around a track! That is shocking, sad, and sickening." Not once did they say "The Cobalt is a good car" or "I respect the Cobalt".

Anyway, just my .02

 

Any acceptance the cobalt will get is going to be killed by arrogant owners. Especially the ones that haven't owned or driven anything faster, therefore thinking it's the fastest thing around .

 

BWAHAHAHHA!!! was not expecting that! man that was awesome

p.s bowtie, your a loser bud... plain and simple. you've attempted to make a point and well... failed miserably, know when your beat, move on....

 

so where does your extensive experience come from? you are on a car forum. If you think you're the only person that's ever done more than the average oil change you are sadly mistaken. There are multiple certified techs, engineers, and people that are just gearheads that have done massive builds. If you had all this experience and had a half a brain you wouldn't start talking about how good gm 4wd systems are when arguing about subarus.

 

Back away from the computer and talk a walk before you make a post like this again.

 

This is what I'm talking about BowTie. I'm struggling to convince myself you aren't actually like your online persona.
