very nice. Good to see one working immaculantly. My buddies 05 SS/SC still runs strong with little to no problems over its life. My previous 06 had more problems than an EMO kid on ritalin. Talk about getting the **** at the end of the stick....

9000kms, only problem I've had was that my sunroof was not properly aligned when I got the car. Took to dealer, fixed. No problems since *knock on wood*.

What are "all those problems" that you've heard?

Why did you randomly capitalize the first letter of each word?

I had the rotors done for the recall (I didn't notice a vibration/problem) and the ECM replaced for an intermittent long crank. Nothing that I would call major problems. 9000k miles

The wheels weren't balanced from the factory.

Nothing other than that.

Nothing is breaking.

My point exactly.

Someone keeps braking shift linkage because they don't know how to drive, and some people cry about brake/shifting noise because they think their cars shouldn't make noise when things move.

Just because you had a lemon doesn't mean others have one. I haven't seen anything major.

I am on my second Cobalt.

I beat the living snot out of my SS/NA with zero problems.

I have my fun with the SS/TC

Biggest problem?

Um, my sunroof got a little shitty and had to be cleaned once.

OH NOEZ.

The only issue I have seen across the board that is a SMALL problem is that some LNFs have had random misfires, that's about it.

Theres already been a transmission destroyed at the track. Also it seems like everyone is bitching about something in comparison to the few amount of people that own the car on this site.

I want to see if GM actually fixed the problems that were inherent in the SS/SC.

^This is the worst Ive seen soo far.

One trans=big piece of ****.

And 97% of this ******* site is a bunch of ******* crybabies.

1.5% are trolls.

The rest actually give a ****.

I hate "omg the car is flawed because I broke it" posts. You took it to a track - **** breaks. Cars are not built to be bullet proof against every fool who thinks it's a drag racing machine.
Second post in your little link.

Someone beat it, and it broke.

What a piece of ****...I think I am going to drain the oil out of mine and drive it around...I HAZ A WARATEE THO!

Please stop trolling. Seriously...it's old, and you are more than inclined to have your opinions, but you start threads knowing they are going to start ****.

Ooooh, you're cool man. I wish I could be cool.

Bottom line, if you are hard on things all the time, they break.

Ferrari or Daewoo.

When people take their cars to the track, they can break. A few isolated breakages will happen when you have as many Cobalts as there is on the road and with people racing them.

I on the other hand, I have had good luck with my SS/SC. Countless 1/4 mile passes, city driving and a nice long road-trip to Wyoming with no problems, knock on wood. No warranty either anymore.
