Sighted: GM's turbo plans
 
While none of these are of the Cobalt, I am sure that this applies since drivetrains are so similar.

Turboed version of the HHR, Sky and Solstice in a parking, fresh as of yesterday.

Pictures are huge, so here is the link: http://www.gvr4.com/Zeta/

pretty cool, although i know the Turboed HHR was spied in a Motor Trend issue. Nice pics nonetheless

SSinPhilly 08-20-2006 10:14 AM

nice pics- great find

Goat Roper 08-20-2006 10:16 AM

Yeah, I was hoping these were still relevan, especially after I saw the Sky is already out there or at least available in a turbo version.

The HHR hack jobs are interesting enough though, they are the same basic drive train as the Cobalt, yes?

SSinPhilly 08-20-2006 10:19 AM

Where is this at? GM building??

Goat Roper 08-20-2006 10:47 AM

I honestly do not know, it almost looks like an apartment building parking lot.

sky redline looks fricking hawt.

RedBaseBolt 08-20-2006 12:54 PM

Just think boys. The HHR is a FWD car. And it uses the same motors as we do. If this is true put 2 and 2 together. Like I did with my exhaust, I wouldn't be surprised if we can use parts from the turbo HHR motor in/on ours :D.

Waylin22 08-20-2006 01:01 PM

wow man...sweet find!!! I can't wait to test drive one of the sky redlines :)

CobaltSS422 08-20-2006 01:03 PM

That Sky Redline looks amazing in white.. definately blows the Solstice out of the water... I see a little laptop mount on one of the interior shots.. Must be doing some tuning ....

Mstumpy06 08-20-2006 01:11 PM

anybody else a little pissed that they didnt just start out w/ a turbo?

Brandon97Z 08-20-2006 01:18 PM

on what?

p7x 08-20-2006 04:08 PM

SSinPhilly 08-20-2006 10:51 PM

RedCavyRS99 08-21-2006 01:55 PM

xspyder85x 08-21-2006 02:10 PM

its in a midlife crisis right now, let it express it self

R33P3R007 08-21-2006 02:20 PM

anyone notice the 3 sets of what looks like curb feelers on the HHR

suburbanrobot 08-21-2006 02:33 PM

things behind front wheel????
 
wow, good spy pics.... I bet a car mag would have paid some $$$ for the HHR w/ the front intercooler pic.
OK fellas... whats the things coming off the passenger side of the blue HHR behind the front wheel? flamethrower nozzles? jk

R33P3R007 08-21-2006 02:35 PM

old man curb feelers, thats what I just asked about. and they all had front mounts, not just the blue hhr

suburbanrobot 08-21-2006 02:42 PM

Actaully, the Cobalt and HHR are built on the same delta platform, which is why they share the same engines and transmissions.

Since the HHR is getting the Turbo, not the LSJ, I would assume that the cobalt will switch to the 2.0L Turbo. Making the LSJ for just the cobalt when four other GM cars us the 2.0L Turbo would be stupi on GMs part!
