Post Thinking about getting an SS

I defiinetly want to get myself an SS S/C. But, i am confused on some things.

What is the G85?
Cobalt and Recaros?
With and without LSD?

Can anybody tell me what this stuff is?

G85 is a package that offers some things other than stock

Recaros are a type of seat

LSD = Limited slip differential.


Recaros and LSD are both offered with the G85 package i believe.

And for the G85 price tag you get both items which would cost you almost the same for each of those options seperately after the original purchase.

So how much is a G85 price tag going to run me? Would it be worth it?

G85 package costs $1500. If you are planning on doing any autocrossing, or something similar I believe it'd be worth it.

Stop thinking and start getting!

Make sure you get the G85 Performance package. It is the must-have option on the order sheet!

you'll probably have to pay a pay-off to break it. Could be pricey if you just started it...

Buy it. Its not really worth it for the G85pkg. Last time I checked it was 2000. I dont autocross and i love my seats. The G85 seats are sure nice thought.

If you buy it for the seats it isnt worth it. You can get some awesome aftermarket seats half the price.

Question

So what everyone is saying is that i should go to the dealer and see if i can end my current lease and then try and get the SS S/C for a good price? Right now i just have a 2006 Black Ls Coupe and i am ready for that SS/C baby!!!
