thats a 15K dollar engine right thar

 

1. I never claimed that I had some secret supercharger, I was only told that bullshit by someone else.

You may have been told that by someone else, but you believed them. You said and I quote: “I swear I can still hear a subtle high pitched sound of a Supercharger. The good folks at GM said it could very well be a prototype Supercharger that utililizes a combination of electric power and the natural aspiration of the car.”

2. I never claimed my car had any specfic amount of horsepower or torgue, I was merely stating what it felt like to me, and that I thought the car was more powerful than what was stated to me.

You never said that while subjectively it feels fast, I know that it is not. Rather you made it seem like you believed that the car is objectively faster than stock with all the talk of limited ‘dealer only editions’ and the cars you were beating etc.

What it seems like you are doing is back peddling now. Which is not necessarily a bad thing as it suggests that you are starting to move away from your denial regarding your purchase of an ss/na, mistaking it for an ss/sc. Either way, I think that your perception of reality is skewed and that you should probably seek profession psychological help. Im not joking….

By the way, what is the reason for listing that engine information? Are you trying to suggest that that motor is in your car? If so then you are still in denial. Get help. Again, im not joking.

 

seven years isn't years?

also, that NA ecotec is, as stated, over $10k in parts alone... It also makes 325hp at the crank on Meth. Try running it on gasoline an see how much power it makes to the wheels...

 

Actually, thats 340 on meth. You act as if 10k is a lot of money or something. Not really. My reality is skewed, I guess. Maybe it's a lot of money to those who have car payments or something. I must need serious help. The funniest thing is I could just throw whatever I want out there, and the argumentalists fall in line. Whether or not my car has this engine or not, who ******* cares. Actually, I made it up, or did I? Funny how there is no mention of this by the "experts" on this site. Besides, how do you know I cant afford it? Im in denial, I need therapy. Somebody please help me. I need sense talked to me. I swore I could have read somewhere that a N/A could never be this powerful. I must be high on meth. Anyways, I roll daily in Houston, Texas. Come find me. Silver with factory "tuxedo" stripe. And no, 7 years, is NOT years. 30 years, is years. It's been real, it's been fun, but not really that fun. Let it die. A fast N/A, nah, it just can't be. Not possible. http://www.motorcities.com/vehicle/02HLF463201218.html

 

yea...umm...no one said it couldnt be that high on meth. Anyone who's read the build book is well aware of that engine. however, you should realize that that is only 280whp on racing fuel. That would be waaay shorter on 91 octane. I bet those pistons couldnt even be used with 91 octane... i would say 230-240whp NA with that block on street fuel, and as stated, it would be AT LEAST $10k in parts. I say at least, because you could never buy those parts
so of course you dont have that engine in your car. that is a pure racing engine, and is far from street-able if i recall correctly, even if you DID manage to put it in your car. Stop being such a retard and trying to justify possible scenarios that we all know will never happen. Stop trying to sound like you're loaded on cash too... I dont make payments on my car either, but i can guarantee you that you would think long and hard about dropping $10k into just the motor of your car... could you afford it? possibly. Im sure many on the forum can. But the question is, why would you have bought a 2.4 if you can afford $10k in engine mods

and yes, 7 years is years. 30 years is decades..., and dont you dare be so retarded as to compare a NA v8 with a NA I4

 

hey guys i think i found his car.

Anything can be fast .....It's money that limits HP in "most " cases.

 

lol doesn't adding a "S" to year making it years make it plural? Plural being more then one? And a number greater then one is plural. if my math is right 7>1. 7 is 6 more then 1.

you see where im getting at

 

travis youre a sarcastic son of a bitch hahahah

 

dude im just breaking **** down for the man

 

this. is awesome.

 

thats what im saying. i love this thread

 

Rtullos....Dude if you got so much money, why did you get a used SS, that doesn't have any form of FI? You could have thrown down or an Audi R8 / or ZR1 or something. But you went with a NA cobalt.

 

you mean this? ....what every cobalt has?

 

whered he go! lol

 

damn...this thread was soo close to dying...

 

it is entertaining though

 

Sweet - the same as my year and color.

 

Fastest time for me was 14.5 @98. STOCK. Nothing, not even a stage. I have an Injen intake now so we'll see what it does now.

 

if you have so much money, why buy a USED COBALT!!!???

 

thats it dude. racing depends mostly on the driver.

 

thats it dude. racing depends mostly on the driver.

 

actually no we or should I say, "im not pissed" %95 of you on this website will have sold, wrecked or traded in your Cobalts in 3-5 years. I will pay off my car and use it for a back up car. 25 years from now Ill be driving it to car shows and it will be waaaay more rare and sought out than these Turbo Balts

turbo cobalts are faster yes...my SCd cobalt will and is more rare than the new ones

thats why he has so much money he doesn't blow it on a car he didn't need or want. he wanted a supercharged cobalt so he saved some money and bought one used

stop being a jealous d-bag


oh the irony. getting all stirred up over some random persons post is childish

 

he didnt buy a SC'd Cobalt, they just told him it was

 

Blackgloves, you said it better than I ever could. Thanks for being one of the few to finally understand what I was getting at. Yeah, I guess you could say I screwed up not checking for a supercharger, then again, I was so excited to get one, I just went in and paid cash. The entire deal was done in an hour. Having been taught to stay away from forced induction by those who build race engines for a living. It was the absence of the gauges that got me to question. Here is what I have discovered about the car now that I have had it for a while.

This car does have aftermarket cams and gears. I'm unsure of the lift/duration, etc., but removing the valve cover gasket revealed that wrenches have been turned on the bolts. It doesnt take rockets science to see that. Not only that, performance cams can usually be heard as well. Especially when your idling, maybe filling up gas at the Shell station.

The exhaust has been completely modified, but only from the header out. GM confirmed the header is OEM. This is the strange thing. The piping? It's solid copper. Downpipe is also solid copper. From the header to the mufflers. Copper? Thats a new one on me. Don't really know how that would help the cars power. The mufflers? Nearly 2ft long and have the same diameter as the pipe. No brand names on anything to tell me anything.

There was a supercharger. A boost gauge was once screwed in right next to the power steering module. Basically if you look towards the accelerator while driving, there it would be. Its a funny thing when you pull out the factory stereo and see the aftermarket guage buried in a rats nest of wiring. It took two hours to pull all of that wiring out of there. A fire hazard to say the least. Top it off, the stock airbox? the holes don't match up. The reason for this it think is because, its not the one that is supposed to go. I feel as if the first owner of this Cobalt removed all that stuff very quickly, maybe the repo man was coming.
I'm not going to go out on a limb, here. But either there are two radiators in this Cobalt, or there is inter/aftercooler. Not only that, I had to re-tighten everything concerning the facia. It almost fell off the car.

Although I only found one gauge crammed behind the stereo, I feel as if the first owner was running NOS. He bolted the bottle behind the drivers seat right under the rear side window. Couldnt find any hoses, but under the emergency brake is a nicely cut square about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch. with the bolts coming from underneath to put screws down on. Plus the bolt holes remain where the NOS was bolted in. Why would you cut a 1/2 by 1/2 inch square into the plastic if you didnt intend for something like a switch to go there?

There is a reason why I don't post videos and pictures. It's because I have gotten nothing but ridcule ever since I joined this site. The scenarios I mentioned were absolutely true. I have no reason to lie to anyone on this site. Some took it as far as to dragging in mommas and insulting them. I will say this. My Cobalt is different then most of the ones I see, which isnt many. There are tons of Cobalts on the road, and for good reason. GM scored with this car, I beleive. I dont know if it was Honda, or GM that came up with VVT, but VVT is awesome. I drove from Houston to Dallas the other day and used just a little over half a tank of gas. The car does 138 miles an hour, "curse the limiter". The torgue does drop off a noticeable amount at 120. This car has a very wide torgue curve. I have decided to be different than everyone else and stay N/A. When this 2.4 has seen its day, I'll have a fresh one to put right in the car, 300 hp no forced induction. No short stroke. It can be done. If then my car doesnt beat everything on the road, who cares. Right now, everywhere I go people hate my car and they are dying to race. And the funny thing is, it's Corvette owners who don't race me, but instead compliment me and have a million questions about the car. Until this website can keep the mass immaturity under control, I've got nothing to prove with pics or vids, or anything. I bought a 2006 Chervrolet Cobalt SS because that is exactly the car I wanted. Not an Audi, not a Neon, I even wanted a 2006. It's the earliest SS's in that particular model that always end up being the most sought after. For example, 83-87 SS Monte Carlo. The 87 considered by most at the time to be the best out of those models, but today its the 84 that is most sought after. On top of that, the "tuxedo" stripe? I got laughed at when I said my car had a factory stripe, until I seen a 70 Chevelle SS that could have been my Cobalt's twin sister. I sent a pic of my Cobalt to the owner of this Chevelle, and he tripped out. Of course his SS is worth 150k though. It's a safe bet mine will be more valueable 30 years from now, than the SS Cobalts being mass produced right now. Plus, seems like every 06 SS with the auto tranny, has ridiculously low miles. My car will be four years old in Jan. and it has less than 40k on it. From now on, if anybody on this site just has negative shittalking or immaturity to display, I wont even respond. Im' not taking the car to a dyno yet, but if this car is only 171 hp? I didnt get that memo. Thanks again, blackgloves for helping me get my point across. From now on, I'll only be posting in the mechanical related forums.
