On another note , I'd love to see the numbers on the 05's with G85. It seems like they are a rare breed.
I couldn't find one with g85 when I was first shopping around. I bought my SS right off the truck and had the only one for probably hundreds of miles for a while. I love arrival blue

I just realized i haven't seen another Arrival Blue SS/SC in person since that one on the lot in 05 lol. My brother was looking with me and still talks **** about me passing that one up....he's like i told you to get it .....but no you had to puss out and wait .

When people talk about these car's never being rare or ever going to be worth anything i think about the my 72 Nova SS . A 396 nova ss can fetch over 50K and were produced in similar numbers as the SS/SC/ TC . They were the economy cars of the day in non ss form , and sleepers in ss trim. Sound familiar ?

I think I'll get the 2008 cobalt ss/tc... Seems like a great car. I would like to know were I get some aftermarket parts to increase the horsepower. I'm sure that their are some good ones out there but I would like to find the ones that offer the most bang for my buck.

Well ive changed my mind once again and i dont know if i should get a 2007 ss or a 2009 ss cobalt. ive heard that in my hometown the 09 could be cheaper than a 07 or the same price.

Thanks for your service but if your getting a Cobalt, I think you should just get the turbocharged

A. It's hard to believe anyone would pay over the sticker price on ANY car
B. Are you comparing SS Cobalt vs LS Camaro?

High end Cobalt vs low end Camaro is the only place I am seeing this overlap of prices, and that is for an 09. You are either seeing an awesome deal for a Camaro or a possibly a crappy deal for the Cobalt

as far as i can see the cobalt sedan would be a very wise choice. I'm going to be having kids later in my life and i know having a 2 door would be pretty hard to but a baby chair into compared to a 4 door. plus i can say that i already own a camaro that im fixing up. A 1986 camaro berlinetta with a brand new motor that has more horsepower than the new camaro that i wanted.

I've heard of SAI on the 2.2's but not the LSJ. The LSJ never had it.

Stick with the LNF my friend. Turbo is your friend.

Camaro's are nice as hell but i wouldnt get the v6 for 2 reason...

1- Its like telling everyone i couldnt afford the SS (an extra $7,000)

2- The camaro will get beaten (minus driver mod) by an 08-09 stock cobalt SS.

Camaro does have better interior ill give you that.


Oh, and go with an 09 Cobalt if you go for a cobalt.
