Well after countless hours of research of every sporty car on the road I have finally decided a Cobalt will be my next car. Just joined even though I have frequented the site for a couple of months now since considering the Cobalt. I am looking for a 09 or 10 SS coupe (got to have MUH RPD!!!) and it will probably be another couple of months until I find the right one since they are not very common. My plans are to leave the exterior stock minus removing the SS badges and possibly putting a LT or LS badge on the trunk to go full sleeper mode. As for the engine I plan on downpipe, intake, charge pipes, and intercooler with a tune of course and then possibly go from there but most likely just stay fully bolted since this will be my DD. The main reason I joined even though I don't have a Cobalt is I plan on buying most if not all of my aftermarket parts used and I don't want to cause suspicion in the classifieds section.

 

Welcome

Good luck with the car search

 

welcome!!

 

Welcome to Cobalt land, Once you enter there's no escape.

 

Good luck in your search!

 

Interesting user name the OP has

 

nothing sleeper about a cobalt welcome!

 

Maybe not up North but the car culture in my area is extremely stupid. Basically here you have 60% trucks with a lift and big mud tires that think they are fast because they have a V8 but I can beat most of the gas engine ones in my V6 Firebird. Then there is about 15% Mustangs another 15% ricers basically Civics and Celicas with fartcans. Finally you get down to the last 10% that actually have fast cars. I guarantee you most people here don't even know a Cobalt SS exist I have only seen a hand full of them in and when I did I never dreamed they where forced induction until I started doing more research about cars in the last six months. Here if you don't have a V8 you aren't taken seriously. So having said that I believe that I will be able to surprise alot of rednecks with a Cobalt.

 

Trust me Shitbox, around here these rednecks are starting to learn that the little orange pumpkin has their number ;-) hehehe. I have never had so much fun in a car like I have this one period! Let me know if you wanna take a test drive bud and we will hook up maybe drink a beer or something. Welcome to the site and btw did you check out the yellow balt at Texashotride.com?

 

I can't wait to be showing them up with you. That yellow one is really nice for less than 10k. The problem is its at 100k miles and I am trying to find something with around 50k to 60k miles. I am going to be driving 50 miles round trip 5 days a week and need it to last for a while. Also that mismatched interior is absolutely disgusting. The white interior should have only been sold with a white car and same for the red interior should have only been sold with a red car. I not worried about waiting for the right one. I'll let you know about hanging out I've been busy recently though.

 

Yeah I agree with ya on that yellow one, which yellow just isnt my color myself. Fortunately got a pretty sweet deal on mine when I bought it although minor fixes were needed sunroof etc but little problems really considering. Driving 132 miles or so a day isnt helping with my odometer so I feel ya there. Hell by the time I do everything to the car it wont be worth blue book what I will have in the car anyways haha. Take care and wish ya the best in your searching man!

 

I was also looking at the one from texashotrides but it was involved in 2 accidents. Both on the same side... You can tell both bumpers were replaced and the head light was too... Instead I bought another 09 yellow with 60k instead

 

Welcome

 

I never noticed before. I can see it now that you mentioned it. Whatever car I go to look at I will have a VIN check done first. I was never serious about that car though.

 

Well working at a dealership I can tell so much about body work and that's just pictures and usually pictures make things look better, just imagine if you seen it in person... I'm not gonna lie I was pretty serious about buying it but if you are far away like me, I'm in Mass and the car in Texas it would be definitely worth the $100~ to have a third party inspect and look over the car...

 

For sure Joe

 

Welcome man! I'm in Tyler quite a bit and can agree with the lifted trucks. I've got a couple but needed something quick that got good mpg. A couple of the guys in town with balt ss sold them a couple months ago but still keep in touch. Let me know if ya'll want to get together for a beer. I have had my ss sedan for almost a year and love it.
