    Mine is Silver Birch and I love it, but you cannot go wrong with black either.................
  2. welcome to the site. Sorry man, that big front bumper kinda makes the SS somewhat unique...................................
  3. welcome to the site, good luck with your SS. Get ready to throw every last penny you have out the window..................
  4. sounds like a sweet truck man, welcome to the site.........
  5. what kind of a question is that? if you live in a place where it snows often a 2wd no matter what kind isnt going to get any kind of decent traction in snow condtions , having a light rear and all your power coming from it does not help. so if you can try not to drive the 2wd if you know your going to have to have go through snow, or bring chains. I have only had the truck since June, so snow driving experience with my SS is a big zero. I have already purchased the ShurTrax bed weight system and I hope that it helps. I wish my SS was AWD but that wasn't an option for '06. Fortunately, up here in NY we are having one of the warmest winters on record. With the bed weight and traction control I think I will be OK in the snow.
  6. welcome to the site man, go for it and make the switch to an SS, you won't be sorry.
  7. That is the most horrible thing I have seen lately...........
  8. Has anyone with a 2wd SS had any problems with traction in the snow????
  9. Drive it like you stole it dude!! I have a heavy foot, and get 11-13mpg around town and 14-17mpg on the highway, depending on how far over the speed limit I go.......................
  10. have not had any snow here in NY yet.... My SS is my daily driver and will be driven in the snow if we get some this year.
  11. nice videos dude, but that Cobalt SS should have reeled you in. Also, if the first guy wants his cavalier to have the ricer tuner image (i.e. CF hood), he should ditch those crappy factory 14" plastic wheel covers for something nicer.................

    F-250???

    I hear ya, box 'em in and make 'em wait in line like everyone else.....................
  13. nice kill, he should just trade that piece of crap in at the next used car lot............
  14. This has done well by me... I did an AEM Intake, Superchips programmer and swapped out my exhaust can. Runs 14.6 in 1/4 which is slowmotion compared to Chase or Chris but wins just about every stoplight to stoplight encounter you will have for less than $1000.00. Kind of the Dub-T approach to performance. I hear that man, I have K&N CAI, Hypertech tune, and GM Perf. Parts exhaust, really woke up the performance. Well, performance on a budget, this truck was expensive..........................
  15. Yes, it sounds awesome. You cannot beat the price of the kit as compared to Corsa and the others..................
  16. not for the SS, stock location only...............
  17. Yes that is the kit I have.....and the tip is number 17802143. The drone is not bad, a nice mellow tone that is pleasant to listen to other than your stereo. GM does not have a touring system for the SS because the SS comes with the touring system from the factory. You won't be sorry with the mean growl of this kit. Dan
  18. Welcome to the site.......I have an '06 SS and I wouldn't trade it for anything. You won't be sorry you chose an SS. Good luck with your decision.
  19. sorry dude, I hail from the east coast........welcome to the site
  20. I agree, make it a habit to hit that button when you are gonna race. I even hit it when I am going to merge at WOT. I would rather bake the tires that get slammed by another car because the Traction kicked in.
  21. my only saving grace would be if he broke traction and I hooked up right away. Ah, who the hell knows. Lets just see what happens in the future.
  22. You will loose even if he sucks at driving. yeah I have a feeling that I will be playing catch up.
  23. smash the piggy bank---making your SS faster can get expensive depending on what you do. I would start with a CAI, Cat-Back, and a tune. Good luck on your choices.
