Hello all!
Tomorrow I will be looking at an 06 SS. I am used to fast cars. I had a 87 Buick for 16 years. Loved that turbo. Now I have a 92 Dodge Daytone IRoc turbo that is EXTREMELY modded and extremely quick. Now I'm looking at a Cobalt. I would be happy with a reliable 12.5 second quarter mile car with A/C. How much will it take to get a stock car to that point. Money wise and parts. I am mechanically inclined.

 

How much is the car, if I can ask?

 

$5,000.00. Car has right around 114,000 miles

 

It's a good price I think. Personally I owned 2 LNFs which I had to sell due to a loss of job, and I would never consider an LSJ, but for $5k, if the car is in good shape, is ok.

 

what kind of ss, 06 had n/a ss, and a supercharged ss

either way you are looking at LEAST 4k to get it into the mid 12 second range...... pick up an 08...... good tires and 1200 worth of mods

 

It's s supercharged

 

Also.. It has a stage 3 clutch it also has a straight pipe exhaust (I'm reding the text conversation). He says it has a straight pipe exhaust and that is the reason the check engine light is on.. That's a little concerning. Any thoughts on that??

 

Probably he put a catless DP

 

Price of the car sounds fair

 

Hmmmm. At least 4k... Maybe I'd stick to a 13 to mid 13 car on that one. It couldn't be to costly to get them cars into a mid 13 range.

 

Well. It was a POC nothing good about it. Buy here pay here, rattle can spray paint job on driver door complete with runs, burn hole in the excellent seat. Rough. No deal

I did look at a very nice 06 bright red. Beautiful. Well cared for. No mods except K&N cold air.
Newer tires bought at reputable Honda dealer a year ago. He has put several thousand miles on the car since he bought it. Car has 149,000 miles on it. He's down to 5500.
Is it worth it???

 

I wouldn't pay $5500 for one with 150k miles.
