i was wondering the difference in the G85 package and a i guess "standard ss supercharged" is.....i was at the super chey show this weekend and alot of guys kept asking me about it and i thought it was jus the recaro seats but if anyone has answers please post up...thanks everyone!

 

Lsd engine i believe as well

 

so is it quicker or something i jus have no knowledge about it?

 

use the SEARCH BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

search button... the difference is for the 05-06 model they come with the LSD which eliminates one tire fire (both tires spin), and had the recaro seats, for the 07 they no longer have the seats but still have the quaiffe LSD, i would only recommend the g85 package if you are planning on racing or just like the seats, i have the package and i love the seats

 

cool deal and damn i had a brain fart when i saw LSD cuz i def know whut that means but i didnt put it into my head but thanks alot guys...

 

i believe it is ( Recaro Seats, Limited Slip Differential, titanium ring around the boost gauge.

 

you dont need LSD to smoke em both...

 

i know, i was just saying that both tires spin together

 

like i said, you dont need an lsd to spin them, together either

 

lol look whut i started...hahah

 

LSD Engine? LMAO!


Can someone make a freaking sticky and post it the top of the page? No telling how many times this gets asked a week.

 

judging by what ive read up above...i must have a g85 package...i bought this 06 cobalt ss s/c from dealer...and he didn't know nothing about this car...i have the black recaro seats titanium ring around boost gauge...dont know yet if i have the lsd...never tried to spin tires ...but the weird thing i notice on my car is that i don't have a sun roof...and real way to know if your car is the g85 package?

 

^ window sticker

 

Are you on LSD Just joking

 

and this would be were..i bought this car with 7200 miles on it and it had no window sticker at all..any other way...under the hood i have a emblem that says performance package in silver right next to the k&n sticker

 

SSvader, what he was getting at is even without LSD you can spin both tires, LSD is beneficial when taking turns. with an open differencial on a hard turn giving it gas, the inside wheel would light up, limiting not only acceleration but turning traction. the LSD limits that wheel spin by having the inside and outside wheels given power, improving lap times.

 

Should be a sticker in the back that lists a bunch of RPO (3 letter/number) codes. One of them will be "G85". ALL SS's have the same ring around the boost gauge. If your seats are all black, then you do not have G85. The G85 seats are black leather with gray mesh inserts and they actually say Recaro on them.

 

dude you should have just searched............lsd is great for cornering off the line you may have a bit better traction but its alot better in cornering....

alleycat

2007 has no mesh on there seats with the g85 only 05 and 06 some o7 models have it IF they were ordered before a certain time

 

I know that, but he was asking about an 06 and I didn't want to confuse him.

 

If you were about to take off at a light and one tire was in water and the other was on dry pavement with a limited slip it would provide power to the tire on the dry pavement as opposed to the wet like the open diff would. This is a time when it could help in a straight line.

 

^ Or in the winter, when you have to drive up an extreamly steep hill, where the snow plow only got one little strip of ice cleared, that way you can use one tire to get up... I had to do that last winter...

 

You can?

Open Diff = One wheel burnout

 

^^^ not always...

you will notice it more in turns.

 

Not always, I've gotten two wheels to spin with open diff. It's just that the conditions have to be absolutely perfect to do it.
