I was wondering when the turbo would show up in the Cobalt.

niiice i wasnt always feelin the supercharged 4cyl matchup.. now im not bashing it just saying u hear supercharger you think 8cyl.. u hear turbo you think 4cyl or 6cyl... or an 8 too... but not so common in production cars for an 8 to be turbo over supercharged
|
when does this hit showrooms Alex? Their pcm's are not fun to deal with from what we've seen :(
Wish they would've just kept the p12 in the older cobalt ss/sc. |
Can't figure out why the G5 doesn't get this engine when PONTIAC IS "SUPPOSED" TO BE THE PERFORMANCE DIVISION:?: There is enough of a styling difference to allow the two divisions to generate MORE sales between them if they both had this engine,, then to have Chevrolet ALONE have the Turbo motor! :shrug:
|
I like it!
|
Instead of focusing on turbocharging it, they should first address the LONG list of TSBs this car has. I've had to bring my SS/SC back to the dealer a number of times already and it's only a year old.

By your theory though we could call Fbodies rice too, I mean look at some of the f'ed up pics we've seen people post on this site.
|
people call it rice, because its a 4cyl "tuner" car, and they are really closeminded
remember people, the car isnt the rice, the owners are ricers |
Trailblazer SS's are definitely rice ;):D
|
mine is, i put on color matched emblems, a short antenna, and a billet bowtie and didnt do any performance mods.....
|
Billet bowtie? Oh forget it, I'm surprised you aren't on the cover of "Ricer's Monthly" magazine :D
|
I think that turbo Cobalt SS would make a great daily driver. I like the interior, it's not over the top with useless crap, the car looks good and has a good stance. I just need to know what the towing capacity is and who makes a trailer hitch! :nod:
|
Should go on sale later this year.
Sorry to hear about the TSBs for the old SC motors. While I like this car, I wish they did more visual stuff to it. Maybe "rice it out" a bit with a better gfx package, a nice hood, something. |
I have to admit I like it. My wife's G6 will be up next year and Id like to pick up a G6 GXP but this cobalt is a possibility as well.
|
I think it's tastefully done as it sits. If people want to rice it out they can go aftermarket for it.
