LSD standard!
Independent rear suspension!
Better stock brakes!
Better Recaros! (get rid of the damn mesh!)

 

A transmission thats worth a **** would be great

 

I'm with you!! Esspecially for the highway..And ya that 1st gear is worthless soo make that gearing longer..

 

I forgot that one

 

suspension and better paint hah

 

The 08 (maybe 09) will have a turbo of about 270hp. That should satisfy most of you. Torque steer may be a problem.

If you need more hp, get a used C5 Vette 1997-2004. The prices will be similar (for the early years) compared to a new turbo Cobalt.

I own a Cobalt SS/SC because it does a great job as a low cost, economical, quick car that is a blast around town. Many of you guys don't realize what a great car the Cobalt is. Stage II makes it even better once you get beyond 1st gear. It is incredible to have a Cobalt capable of 140+. FWD inherently limits hp because of torque steer and kills "off the line" performance as well. A used Vette or 09 Impala SS should be the next step up in performance for Chevy fans. Study hard, be excellent at what you do and keep your sights on the current Z06. It is killer. Get yours before you are a 54 year old Geezer (like me). In the meantime, enjoy the Cobalt for what it is--fun!

 

The funny thing is, I've seen quite a few older fellows around me who bought s/c's. I think it's pretty cool. haha.

The Cobalt is a great car for what it is. Sure, there's some quirks and build quality flukes, but the overall idea and performance can't be denied.

 

2.4 turbo or supercharged...the 2.4ss is kinda boring

 

I F-ING HATE YOU!!!
Just because you have the new Z06!!!
I would kill for that car!
But still the only thing GM should have done is INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENTION!!!

 

i would change in the ls how they have it some parts charcoal and some parts that tanish color. That is stupid
