JACBLKSS Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Well I finally got rid of the 2001 Camaro SS, With the new Camaro out in a couple of years and value dropping, bought the wife a new 2006 Cobalt SS Supercharged, oh my what a car, this car is a blast to drive, handles lke on rails, and when the boost kicks in bamm!! Other than the wheel hop on a hard stop (fixed by adding on an engine damper) it takes off with all and slolams better than a corvette (thats from Road and Track).. If any are looking for something fun to drive this is an american made blast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montanass Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 yeah i hear theyre a fun car.... One guy in town claims he can outrun a WRX STI in his but it is bone stock.... he also claims to be able to get a stage 2 tune and pulley for it for $150!!! I'm thinkin hes full of it, because he wont even race my bone stock SSS we asked him if it was the Cobalt with the blower on it and he came back with this... are you ready? This is the honest to god truth...... He said "no its got a supercharger!" this dude was serious too.... wow i just went on and on there.... sorry, but i had to tell the story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcwarren Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I have had mine for one month today, 3465 miles on clock. I kept my SSS and it became my weekend fun driver while the Cobalt SS Supercharged is my business car, Fuel expense dropped to one half of what it was costing to drive my SSS 3000 miles per month (32mpg versus 15mpg). Anyway, yeah it is a blast to drive and runs about the same as my SSS did before mods. I have the GM Stage 2 kit on order (retails for $750 not $150). This fastest color question is still up in the air, GM rates the top speed of my Black Cobalt SS at 141 MPH....However, my Red SSS with Radix is quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyMan23 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I love the wheels on those too.....nice car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 ...Been thinking of getting one. I test drove one and i liked the way it felt. Comfortable seats. What kind of performance is squeezed out of them with that stage II kit you guys are talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I test drove one and i liked the way it felt. Comfortable seats. What kind of performance is squeezed out of them with that stage II kit you guys are talking about? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The GM Stage 2 kit consists of 42lb injectors, shorter drive belt and smaller supercharger pulley and a GM reflash of PCM. GM rates it at 241 HP 218 FT/LB versus 205 HP 200 FT/LB with redline raised from 6500 to 7000 Edited May 11, 2006 by mcwarren (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, none of the following statement is intended to offend anyone, regardless of age, sex, ethnic background, religious belief, etc, etc, etc, and please remember that I love and respect everyone, and please be advised that, I love my Cobalt Supercharged SS almost as much as I love my Supercharged Silverado SS. Having done my best at the age of 62 by purchasing one of these "tuner cars" to raise the average age of this particular automotive group, you must remember that the average "automotive age" of this "tuner car crowd" is somewhere between "diapers and training pants".

BlackySS13 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 What is MSRP on these cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 The one I drove was listed at 22k I believe. The dealer said they could do 19500. Never really looked into the pricing too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
