I finally got a car I love. 2006 Chevy Cobalt SS/SC Yellow. Damn, that fact that it is fast, stylish and American (No offense to imports I love you too but I gotta represent), makes it a complete package. And to put icing on the cake it is kinda rare, I haven't seen one on the street and I love that! Anyway, hey everbody, nice to meet you all

Kris

 

congrats and welcome to the site man. same color i got and i love mine to

 

Welcome and enjoy the car

 

Sweet man. you going to love this car.

 

welcome and get some pics up asap

 

Welcome bro !!!!

 

Welcome to the forums. Have fun, enjoy this vehicle to it's fullest, cause now you don't need a reason or excuse to want to go out for random, no destination drives, other than the fact you can, and will.

 

lol thought i was the only one who got up, faked a fone call from the fellas and went out on those drives. wasted alot of gas 2

 

No doubt, I went through 3 fill ups in one weekend, put 100 miles on the car in a day. which is sayin something for me since it wasn't a road trip, and the cobalt isn't my daily driver.

 

Damn, everytime I get in the car I love it...even parking it is fun. I will get a pic up soon

 

Ok, so I broke down at midnight, after reading all these damn posts, I had to go take a drive, ended up being like a 45 min cruise. I know it is fast in a straight line but I was curious of it's capabilities through some mild twisties. I took it through Sepulveda blvd. here in So. Cal, and holy ****** ****, thats all I can say. According to the reviews there are better handleing cars in this class blah blah blah, but this is my first performance car and I was not dissappointed one bit. Never heard the tires screetch, it attacked the corners like a champ.I'm not so much a fan of drag racing, I will mess around on the freeway from time to time, I'm more interested in like AutoX and stuff like that. I am curious, how does this car, stock SS/SC no lsd, compare (straight line and handling) to the RX8 and the new Civic SI <---some guy in my apartment just got one and I don't think he has ever heard of the Cobalt...but he will muhahaha


Kris

 

I think you will kill the SI in almost every way. I test drve one and was not impresed at all. As for the RX8 Im not sure. I have never driven or raced one.

Later

 

Well congrats is in order!!!!

I also love my new red SS Balt & I have to agree with you thats it's the best of about all world as the only thing I could actually whinnnn about is room for 4 as I just got rid of a Supercharged Tahoe & was use to being the driver to most places but man I realy don't miss the gas bills !!!!!!!

Today I left work the same time my son did (we work at the same place) & we sort of raced home as he has a 2000 Eclipse with minor mods & we were darting in & out of traffic & by chance I got stuck behind a slow poke but I did manage to make up some time & pass him about 5 blocks from home but just to say we were having a blast & we managed to stay under 90mph & play it sort of safe ha ha ha I love my balt

I thought it was worth sharing

 

SS all the way!

 

We'll murder si's all day long...THe RX8 will out and out hand us our asses in the twisties. Those cars were built for that purpose. I test drove one and oh my god did it stick to the road.

 

WELCOME... enjoy!

 

Prepare for every Honda to want a race. I dont know why but they all wanna race the Cobalt

 

Ok... more adventures of the "Killer Bee" <---might call her that? Anyway, there is a guy at my job who claims to be a tuner, he knows some stuff. He has like a 96 honda civic hatchback with a GSR motor swap. We kinda raced on the freeway, I'm a newb when it comes to racing so I messed up the start. He was saying I was fast and it might be a good race, I may beat him. Then he took me for a ride in his car... it wasn't that fast imo. Givien some time to learn how to drive this beast, I'm sure I would beat his ass. How fast is are the 96 hatchbacks with a stock GSR motor, do they even come close to the SS/SC?

 

Congrats and welcome to the forum!
