Yeah man, power delivery is smooth up to redline once it starts to go, but dat lag! No reason to be WOT in this car anywhere. The 6 speed is silky smooth though; it's like driving an auto.

Woot, I'm not the only one. I still love Cobalts more than life itself, but it was literally spiralling me into depression dealing with mine breaking all the time. Got to rip around in a 2013 3.7 Mustang yesterday, and now I dunno if I can ever buy another FWD car again.

I have Eibach springs already, the 18" Drag wheels it's on now are perfect for the car, IMO. Roof will be done when I get to Calgary, will be very easy with no sunroof.

Likely just shitty factory tuning, trying to save fuel or something.

Its a granny that lots of cars have.

When you floor it, the computer basically says "are you sure?" then waits (like a second or 2) and if your still flooring it, it will take off.

The LE5's have this.

No way man. That's just a lack of power overall in the LE5. The Forte is a million times worse. Mileage is exceptional, but boy did they take some shortcuts to get there.

No the LE5 actually has it. THe throttle body won't open all the way at first. That's why when you get tuned, the response is so much better.

shifter like a wet noodle, gearing is so f**ked, engine vibrates and rattles like crazy anything above 3,500rpm, lots of clunks and bumps from underneath and everything squeeks worse than my cobalt.. oh and gutless too lol
