For FWD the cobalts launch pretty well, if you're not good with your launches, could always use the launch control option on the turbo cobalts. Idk if the supercharged cobalts have launch control but the cobalts still move good once they're rolling.

I'm actually pretty excited to see how this thing does once she's back on the road.

LSJ does not have factory launch control.

LNF factory launch control is just alright.

Regardless, power still gets put down better RWD from a dig.

Idk how you'll feel about it considering what you drive right now lmao if you ever get the chance, try out a turbo cobalt or a supercharged cobalt, from production the turbo is faster but the supercharged one is still really nice, off the line wouldn't be as fast as your charger nor for acceleration or top speed wouldn't be as fast as the charger but it's still a fun compact car, now the turbo ones from a roll stock would technically be faster than your charger(stock as well) based on power to weight ratio.

Thank you! we decided to go with the regular front bumper instead of the SS because of price reasons... also a debadge is going to happen. so maybe i'll be able to get the jump on some civics or something thinking i'm just a regular cobalt

don't sleep on the 2.4 from 2006-2007, they have forged internals and are built just as good as the LSJ and LNF when it comes to boost. all depends on how much money you wanna spend.

I don't think that's entirely true or else you would be able to boost as high as LSJ and LNF

It's not always about boosting high. You can make a lot of power at low boost with the right work done.

Maybe not the LNF, but the LE5 can definitely hold it's own against the LSJ when supercharged.

I heard LE5 is only good up until about 300hp and can't lsj do more than that? I know LNF bottom end can handle a good bit more than 300.
