N00B from Michigan

Hey everybody, my name is Jentry. Just bought an '08 SS/TC a couple weeks ago, thought it would be wise to join up to learn more about it. I moved up to this after having an Audi A4 with some stuff done to it. First thing I did was got HP tuners and ditched the cheesy looking CF hood. I am hoping somebody recognizes it, so I can learn what is done to it (bought it off a dealer). The thing is pretty quick, was walking all over my buddies 340WHP Saab 9-3. Here is the only pic I have of it right now, but I am going to try to get a photo shoot of it with a friend soon. Here is a short rundown on the car

2008 Cobalt SS/TC
Black on Black/Red cloth
41K miles
Synapse charge pipes (from what I can tell through internet searches)
ZZP Intercooler (one that came on it was cracked)
Catless DP (have not looked into which one yet)
OZ Racing Ultraleggera 18x8's (i think that's the width, have not had them off yet)

Wasn't the dealer called City of Cars or something? He was selling a black LSJ too before the turbo one, my buddy was looking at it but it was sold before he had a chance to drive it.

Thats what it said, but I had a more knowledgeable person look at it at a local meet, and he said its a stock K04. They look different compared to the Audi K04, so IDK.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

welcome, good looking cobalt. I had a 94 z28 with the lt1 and while it wasn't as fast as a ls, it ran really well with just minor mods. Motor was really smooth and revved quick.
