Would you want your Cobalt Turboed or Supercharged?

Just a poll to see how the community feels. Seeing that there are 10 turbo cobalt threads a week and everyone seems so excited about it.

Me personaly loving the supercharger and the uniqueness.

I'm with campo165 on this. That TVS sounds pretty promissing. Just like it says in the article "this is a game changer."

If you're referring to the LNF 2.0 VVT Turbos, I'm sure they aren't maxxed out. A manufacturer would not put a turbocharger on a vehicle and "max it out", they are going to keep it at an good efficiency point because maxing out would also bring up heatsoaking issues, which will result in more issues with the engine.

But yes, it all depends on what you're aiming for as far as power.

kind of a weird thread for all of us ss/sc guys. we all did buy a supercharged car, and i got mine new. I could have gotten an srt4 or a V dub if i wanted turbo. Its in the same price range. So for me its a supercharger. If they hadent of made the Cobalt i would be driving a s/c Montey or a Grand Prix GTP.

Supercharged...Why? because they are good for daily driving and there is no turbo lag when you want to pound the gas to the floor!!
