Chevy Cobalt SS
Anyone driven one of these? Own one? Know someone who does?
For such a small car it packs quite a punch, thinkin about getting one.
What's the deal?

I really just hate the look. Looks too much like a cavalier to me.
You should check out a G8 GT or GXP, much more of a nice class DD.
However, I will tell you that the Cobalt SS turbo (the new one, not the s/c) has run a 13.3 at the track and has done really well at the European circle tracks.
G8 GT

^quite a bit more expensive though. In the same class...I dunno. Just wouldn't go cavalier.

That's the one I was talking about... I read the specs and they're nice for the price.

the 2005 cobalt SS I drove was ok at best..... better than the 2005 GTI I test drove IMO... the chevy dealer tried to tell me it beat a 05 WRX... so I went to the subaru dealership and drove the 2005 WRX and I must say... WRX FTW.
The new Cobalt SS is said t0 be 260bhp turbocharger. Dont know if its out/true but sounds tasty.

I had a cobalt ss to replace the trailblazer my ex totaled..
when I sold my grand Prix I kept the cobalt, and traded the cobalt for my magnum...
it's a fun car to drive cuz it's fast and maneuvers pretty good but it's a small car and I'm 6'4"

I don't have any hard data, but they are supposed to have been selling pretty well considering the shitty economic times. I think I read something like half of production was sold? I'd have to look into it.
The GXP is going to have the Ls3.
I hate to say it, but SLP is going to be releasing a FIREHAWK version of the G8.. I shit you not. They are gonna be a high end version of the G8. Apparently they will be be offering performance packages under the firehawk brand name. One of which is a supercharged version completely warrantied. God knows we'll never seen the firebird again. Can you believe that? I saw pictures at ls1tech from SLP marketing dept.
