Agreed i'm thinking of wingless as well. Our wing is one of the cheapest i've ever seen I can't believe they made it that bad. a subaru wing is 10x stronger than our POS! Looks good but when it shakes going down the road kinda looks shitty!

You know.....I feel the same as when I first went to University.......I had a group of friends who all went to the same school. I said,"Why don't we all buy a house instead of paying for rent and at the end of the 4 years we'll cash out and have a down payment on a house". Well it never happened but, ask them all now and they will tell you I was right.

25 years from now an 05' Cobalt SS/SC in "stock" condition (mint of course) will go for a lot of coin!!!! and the selling point-----------------the big wing!!!! thank you!!!!!

Are you comparing house values to car values?

That should NEVER be a basis for an investment decision. This car has alot of things negative for collectability

1. Economy car
2. Use of many SAAB parts.. i.e. nothing big and new
3. Very few cars in its class ever became collectable
4. its not a significant vehicle for GM.. nothing bold new or class leading
5. its relatively slow (sure its faster than many muscle cars.. but compared to vehicles of today.. its nothing to write home about)
6. its an economy car with a supercharger!


Look at the cars that are currently collectable from the past 20 years..

1. Buick GNX (one of the fastest cars of the 80's, great timless styling)
2. Chevy Impala SS 94-96 ('relatively' high powered engine, large vehicle, etc..)
3. Chevy Corvette ZR-1 (DOHC vette engine.. that pretty much explains it)


Now how could you ever fit a cobalt in with that crowd..

You'll never see a 1985 Camaro pullin in big money..

I'd kill for a GNX.. **** I'd trade my SS/SC for a GNX.... though no one would ever take that trade.

BTW I'm going wingless soon as well

I agree. I don't recall a superbee having a wing but what about the Roadrunner. same class as the bee but with a big ass wing and nose. They (the wing and nose) for there day were rice but that is what the cars of the day were known for. to each his own, but I like the wing it is what sets the ss/sc appart from all others.

cheezy..maybe, Rice...definatly, but it works for the car.
