Cobalt SS 272

[BigAls87Z28]

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.

Functional fresh air intake integrated into hood
Fabricated air intake box
Low-restriction exhaust system from the catalyst rearward

This aint no pep-boys performance car....

[j0n]

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

too bad it doesnt have awd or rwd like those cars...kinda hard to lay down ~280hp through probably a non posi fwd system.

geeat now domestics are lookin like they were built with chopsticks

[Savage_Messiah]

looks liek a cross between wrx and celica... aka gay rice

[BigAls87Z28]

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.

so tru. the wing needs to be significantly reduced and scoop definately needs redesigning.

[skorpion317]

that scoop looks like crap...redesign it and it might look better.

[89 Trans Am WS6]

I like it, cept the scoop.

[79dizZy28]

if you look at it really really fast, it reminds me of that scion coupe.... not bad tho

[89 Trans Am WS6]

civic..tiberon..skyline..scion..its all there..but i like it

i just hope it beats the srt4..then gm will dominate the sport compact scene

[SpeakersGoBoom]

is the scoop centered on the hood? it almost looks like its over on the drivers side. but yes, definately the scoop needs to go

[enRo]

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