Alright guys my whole life I have driven mustangs. I have owned Cobras, Saleens, and ROUSH cars. I am tired of having those for daily drivers. I have been looking at the 2007 supercharged cobalt. Before I buy it I was wondering if everybody thinks I would be getting my moneys worth? Dont think I am one of those guys who is like all american muscle. I like diversity..haha thanks in advance for all the information and hope to be a proud owner. Oh..and i live in Sweetwater, TN 20 minsouth of Knoxville

 

well i think you would have fun owning a ss/sc they are fun cars and they arent gas hogs..

 

Yeah, when you have a 4 banger, that can whoop up on certain mustangs (not a cobra or saleen killer) but a GT sure.... and still get 25-ish mpg! Yeah they are fun cars!

 

Welcome to the site. I highly recommend the Cobalt. Get an SS/SC, a stage kit and some exhaust and you'll have a fun daily driver.

 

You will not be dissapointed! For a car that can keep up with most muscle cars and sitll get almost 30mpg you cant go wrong. Good luck and welcome to the site. Oh don't forget to take pics!

 

Thanks guys. I have been thinking about blue or black. Also will the other pullies, injectors, intake, and full exhaust get me close to 300 hp?

 

You could get close, but you'd have to go with a turbo to get over methinks.

The best part is, with a little four banger, you don't need all that HP, it's all about torque and WHP.
Highly recommend the SS/SC for a daily driver.
If you wanted a really fuel efficient car, you'd probably want to settle for a
2.4l ecotec - 32mpg highay or a
2.2l ecotec - 35+mpg highway.

But to be honest, the SS and especially the SS/SC will be the most fun to drive with the sport suspensions

 

OH let it be known if I am going to do it I am going to do it BIG. Anything is better than 15 MPG. I will get the SS/SC!

 

I should prepared to get flamed for this, but if your planning on pouring thousands upon thousands of dollars into your cobalt to get the maximum out of it, you probably be better off getting the 2.2l or 2.4l and putting in a turbocharger with all the periphrials, I think that you'd come out ahead at the very end.
But it's tons easier to spend a little less money and upgrading the **** out of a 2.0l supercharged, I just think that they'll top out before 300hp.

where's my flame suit?

 

Im not looking to do unGodly HP I figured if I got the SS/SC i would do the upgrades such as a listed earlier. I just didnt know if i would get 300hp or even get close to it. I done want to go Turbo. I want to keep the stock supercharger.

 

i would like to guess that ct has about 2k worth of performance mods so i wouldn't really say its thousands upon thousands just a couple thousand

 

you live in TN right. in the city or out side or in the woods?? well i doesent mater just go to a local chevy dealership and test drive it the bit. but realy drive the car and yall love the sound she makes and how it feels. besides it still cheaper then your cobra in gas and in insurance. "thats my dollars worth"

 

What does that mean in the woods? I live in the city! I have already test drove one!

 

doing ct's upgrades you will get you VERY close to if not right at 270whp which is obviously very close to 300whp. The ss/sc's dyno at an average of 216whp and 195ft/lb so they are under rated from the factory

 

welcome fellow southeasterner- however im not not a cobalt driver but have friends who are, nice ride i say

 

Thanks Man!

 

my wife has a mustang it feels like a boat i get into a cobalt and it feels light and nibble get an o6 with the recaro seats ftw

 

heh im a chick

 

haha I am so sorry I apologize! Mam...lol

 

no offense, but isnt the cobalt a step down in cars... considering that you have drive blown mustangs and such. those are really fast cars. not to say that the cobalt cant be, but it definately wont be the same rush. anywho. i have a ss/sc and its plenty of power for young teenager like me. plus it handles really well and gets decent gas mileage (28 mpg currently). happy modding man.

 

i think you missed the point of his post though

 

i say you wait until 2008 there gonna turbo the cobalt or at least make some changes to the engine , yea your gonna have to wait longer for aftermarket support considering the car isnt even out yet nor the engine plan but in the long long run it will be well worth it

 

I dont need anything hellaciously fast i alredy have those. I just want a car with good gas mileage and is plenty quick if i get run up on. I guess I am going to get one. I was thinking blue with the gunmetal wheels, pullies, injectors, intake and full exhaust.

 

sounds good you should like it if your not looking for something hellaciously fast , one thing though and it annoys the **** out of me and dont get butthurt but its only one pulley not like 3 or 4 ,i mean you could get technical and start talking tensioner pully and underdrive and **** but with the way you used it in your sentence it looks like your talking about the pulley thats gonna boost hp and when referring to that it is singular and i dont know what you meant but EVERYONE i talk to about my car is like so did you swap out all the pulleys just gets annoying end rant had to get it off my chest

 

Don't Get the GMPP Stage 2 if you want around 300whp its not gonna get you near that! Don't want you to waste money if you don't need to. GM stage 2 only comes with 42lb injectors that top out really quick and 3.0 pulley that,s not gonna be enough . I had to learn the hard way on that!
