Cobalt SS 272




Vehicle Highlights

With the production SS Supercharged arriving in dealers later this year, GM Performance Division has already been tweaking. Never a group that can leave well enough alone, Performance Division’s modus operandi can be clearly seen in the Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe. This vehicle was created to demonstrate the potential for street performance. The subtle exterior treatment of this show vehicle cloaks a host of engineering upgrades that yield significant improvements in acceleration and handling. Horsepower hits 270, larger brakes spin at the ready, and a lowered suspension steadies the chassis. Carbon fiber cues hint at the performance potential of this complete package.

Supercharged and intercooled 2.0L engine producing 270 horsepower
Functional fresh air intake integrated into hood
Fabricated air intake box
Low-restriction exhaust system from the catalyst rearward
Traction-enhancing limited-slip differential added to the heavy-duty five-speed manual transmission
Suspension lowered by 40 mm (1.6 inches) and tuned by GM High Performance Vehicle Operations (HPVO)
Large-diameter four-wheel-disc braking system with Baer rotors and production calipers
19-inch wheel and tire package
Audio system with Pioneer Electronics speakers and Alpine amplifiers
Aftermarket Motorola cell phone with IHF 1000 Premium Car Kit
Re-trimmed, custom interior that highlights SS heritage
Exterior styling that explores new concepts based on production Cobalt SS Supercharged

and unfotunately the body kit/wing are necesary to compete in the ricer world...id be willing to bet they'd offer a "rally sport" option of some sort that would only be recognizeable by two easily removed badge letters

Well, this "gay rice" sells like hot cakes. Look at the SRT-4.
With an aftermarket of over $26 Billion, yes with a B, GM would be retarded not to jump into it. Like it or not, this **** sells.

Get rid of the "Skyline" tailights, and that stupid little scoop, and then maybe I'd rock it.

Look at it... it just looks like an crossbreed of an SRT-4 and 2004 Corolla
