After having my 08 Tiburon ran into for the fourth time I am in the process of getting a new car. After shopping around for a car that I can afford with a respectable modding/tuning future I have stumbled upon two FI Cobalts. One is stock supercharged Cars for Sale: 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe in Hinesville, GA 31313: Coupe Details - 372044084 - AutoTrader.com the other is turboed with recaro seats, lowered suspension and upgraded exhaust Cars for Sale: 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS in Charlotte, NC 28273: Coupe Details - 379061373 - AutoTrader.com. I plan on going with the Hahn turbo kits so the SC vs TC debate is not an issue. Cons for the TC Cobalt is that its located 2.5 hrs further than the SC, it's red so that means higher insurance and it's $1900 more expensive. Depending on the parts used for the mods that $1900 might not be an issue. Cons for the SC is that it's silver (Not one of my preferred car colors) it has almost 6500 more miles on it, it's 2 years older and it lacks the aftermarket parts on the TC. If the TC's aftermarket parts aren't up to par for my standards they will have to be replaced. Any feed back would be great.

 

Get the TC I have one it's the better car. Don't buy Hahn stuff it rusts or just falls apart buy ZZP

 

Does ZZP have competitive pricing with the Hahn products?

 

Better pricing and products

 

This, Hahn is expensive and their quality is poop.

Thanks for saving me the headache.

 

The LNF is the better car and it doesn't have Recaro seats, those are GM Performance Division. Also the LNF has the G85 aka LSD which in my eyes is a big plus.

 

Not all LNFs had the G85 other than 2010 Canadian models

 

I never said that but if you look at the page he linked the LNF there does have the G85 package.

 

LNF is the turbo right?

 

Yes and LSJ is SC

 

Maybe I won't become a Cobalt owner. GodSpeed Motors Inc - 2008 Volkswagen GTI - Charlotte, North Carolina Same dealership as the LNF.

 

No...

 

Slower and more problems, just saying.

The interior will definitely be nicer though.

 

Extra 28000 miles too. How many miles do you think I can get out of the Cobalt? There has been three owners so I have no ideas on how they treated the car.

 

And all VW's are chick cars

 

Get a SS/TC

 

It's just nice to have a back-up choice after driving 3.5 hours away. Then again I can pick up the LSJ on my way back.

 

It's just I would take a Cobalt over a VW all day long

 

German parts and technology $$$$
Break down more and cost more....

 

That's what I read when I was researching. I know that Chevy parts are easy to come by as well.

 

There's also this Cars for Sale: 2000 Honda S2000 in Orlando, FL 32837: Convertible Details - 378265853 - AutoTrader.com

 

Nice. Mod the hell out of it. If you're in Florida Rwd is no big deal!

 

A s2000 with those miles around me is going for 19k. Great price on that one.
