@sinnersavedbychrist yes there is a turbo kit, just go to ebay and type 2006 cobalt turbo kit. and yeah I think it does replace the supercharger. but turbo is way better then a supercharger
Chevrolet has a nice idea, It needs a slight visual re-design. Granted this is the cavaliers predecessor so the bar isn't set very high, but it is definitely a great performance car. Given a wider frame and slightly stiffer suspension to communicate twists and turns to the rigid chassis better would make this car a challenge all the way around the track. Maybe if GM was crazy enough to make it a V6 SC or TC in a RWD format, you cold have a new boy-racer favorite.
this car is not stuck in a cavy style body, it looks totally different, its not even a jbody. lol i think poeple just automatically diss its look without really looking just because it replaces the cav. i think it beautiful. ya i could be nicer, but its gm, they arnt very creative when it comes to style with any of their cars.
also i heard/read somewhere (hotrod magazine?) you could get a 40 hp package from the dealers parts departmant for about 600 dollars. which meant 300 horses for under 25,000 dollars. impressive but not sure about the facts there. ok, wikipedia says 20 horse stage 1 kit was available, but who believes wikipedia anyway?

if you haven't already go see car and driver's lightning lap comparison of cars. at virginia intl raceway, the 08 cobalt stomped on many higher cost rear, all, or front drive cars. the only car in its class faster is the '11 mustang V6 (300 hp). sample of cars it beat; (front drive) civiv si mugen, mazdaspeed 3, (rear drive), mazda rx8 r3, solstice gxp(same exact motor), (all wheel drive), impreza wrx sti, lancer evo mr. it beat cars costing nearly twice as much, like is-f, and elise sc
Still love my '09 Turbo SS. The interior is comfy and bluetooth in the steering wheel so nice! It blows the doors off most v8 cars and gets 38 mpg on a steady 60 mph country backroad. It's a marvel of engineering at any price.
@ricorob100 I couldn't disagree more. Turbo's, working only off recycled exhaust fumes from the engine, are much more efficient than a belt-driven supercharger. That allows you to "stay off the boost" as some guys put it. Also, I don't believe the s/c had the variable valve timing (VVT). This technology makes the cams get bigger and let more fuel in/ exhaust out when you're putting the pedal down but also makes the can smaller and restricts fuel consumption under normal driving conditions.
@daveyboygee It could be but not to start a useless argument over nothing really but if you look at gm's fuel economy they never listed a cobalt ss turbo at 38 mpg's, the only cobalt that averaged a higher mile per gallon rating wan a cobalt xfe and that was listed at 36 miles per gallon and that was to compete with the civic and corolla models that were averaging 35mpg's so you'll have to chaeck on that, because I loked at a window sticker and it said 30 on a 2010
piece of crap fwd i hate it understeers so much i have a 1997 honda civic lx sedan manual trans and i hate it so much i would so much rather have a 2004 wrx
GM just announced a recall of 1.3 million cars with steering problems. If you own a 2005 to 2010 Chevy Cobalt or 2007 to 2010 Pontiac G5, then immediately take it in for repairs.
-.- i know i had to pay 115 bucks right before that was anounced to get it fixed. i cant wait for my letter to come in the mail so i can go get my$ back. bastards
@TranCendenZ i know i asked you on anothe time.,..but i was getting mine coming off of a lease it a 2006...and its being saved an e-tested before i by but that something that would be checked right?..im kinda worried after haring this
This and the Mazdaspeed 3 are the best bang for buck as far as hp and straight line acceleration in MY OPINION. But look at it, its so boring looking!
@wolf1010 i have owned both, and i am driving the ss now.
the ss eats the mazdaspeeds food, especially on the highway, off the line, and on corners.
basically better all around is what i am trying to say, and all you have to do is tint it up and it will look just as good.
oh and get the gm performance kit and you can run with porsches, mercedes and bmw's etc no problem. it also doesnt have a speed limiter and will do 163 mph with the kit.
@wolf1010 mazda's are garbage...One of my friends is a mechanic at a state car auction house, almost everycar he fixes is a mazda..there junk! they look terriable! the only mazda I would EVER own would be an rx-7. The gti can be faster than the speed with with a simple chip. Once you add a apr ko4 kit its faster than a v8 r8 with apr exhaust...lets see a speed 3 do that.
@crzygutrsnobrdr Yeah I don't know where I stand with Mazda's =/ Like dislike no idea. Forgot to mention GTI of course lol. But are you saying a lightly modded GTI is faster than a Audi R8 with an exhaust? Uhhhh....nop =]
wow your a dumbass. i shouldn't even say anything else, but chevy's are made all around the world. the ones for sale in the u.s. are made in the u.s. (all models except aveo's), canada (trucks and suv's), mexico (trucks and suv's) and korea (the aveo).
It would be better if they were made outside of north american because the auto union here have destroyed the north american auto industry with their unrealistic demands. Why can't there some common sense used here. The non-unions are to one extreme and the union the other extreme. Meet in the middle and get rid of the bullshit.
Since GM went into bankruptcy all the union contracts have to be rewritten. When the economy was up the contracts were ok, but the economy went down it they weren't so good. As for your cavalier, it was made in mexico it should have a 3 as the very first digit of its VIN. But i know for a fact other cavaliers were made in the U.S.
Not to be a fanboy, but those numbers your spitting out are close to the GTR; supercar stats. Any car getting close to 68mph in a slalom is impressive enought already.
$118,00 is a bargain for a car that smokes imports that cost $250,000+ and broke world record lap times at nordshliefe. it's unanimous that it's one of the best cars in the world right now.
cobalts are for middle-aged grocery getters and spoiled teenage girls. saying cobalts are better performers than corvettes is like saying rosie o' donnell isn't fat.
By imports do you mean Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Audi, Mercedes Benz, or BMW? Or do you mean honda, toyota, acura, lexus, nissan, or kia? Because they are both considered "Imports" in America, and there is a little bit of a difference. If you are truly a car enthusiast, you would not be so bias. You would love all performance cars....
I love how the guy says they should put the upgrades on the ASTRA.. LOL!! I think the cobalt is one sporty looking ride. Obviously not a high end ride, but deff way out of the class to the ASTRA lol
i see u don't know shit if u look up te gm cobalt u will see who have the track recode for gm its not a vette u ass its a cobalt.but i fotgot what track its ok.
yeah, i'd say the vette is the GM supercar. And if i remember correctly the ZR1 is the fastest production car in america. So i'd say that makes it a "supercar"
shut the fuck up stop suckin saoschiodos2112 cock fagg lololol gm's are trash.118,000 for a zr1 i see y they don't sale lolololol.and all the damn recall gm been havein on the new camaro lol please just stop.
you say 118k for a zr1 is why they don't sell...well first of all im not sure where you got 118k from unless thats what they are fully loaded..but anyway the zr1 is only 103k which is just over 100k so it's almost not even in the 6 digits...also you say import cars are better and at the same time your saying the zr1 is overpriced?? well i would love to hear you name a car with better performance or the same performance for the same or a lower price from any import car producer
@0spaceboy Um the ZR1 is a super car. and if your gonna say its over 100k look and the GTR spec V it is too and everyone always says its super car funny thing is the ZR1 has faster lap times and faster 0-60 and faster top speed. Werid how that happens. American car still in the Market the next 5 years will be all American cars just watch.
The cobalt is a front wheel drive budget sports car... not a high performance and high quality super car. The cobalt holds no record of any kind on the Nurburgring.
Actually that changes depending on the driving surface and ,obviously, the driver. Take these numbers with a grain of salt. If you see Ford advertise at car that does 4.5s 1/4 and Inside Line does it in 4.8s, it doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong. Nor would it necessarily mean the Ford is slower at 1/4 than a Mazda that has an advertised 1/4 of 4.4s. You can't count on these numbers, the only thing you should count on is how fast your foot hits the floor.
I like this cobalt ss, the exterior is simple, yet agressive, the interior is known as cheap to some, but again i find it simple, and as a teenager i wouldn't care less, as long as it works, and the ipod adapter and wheel mounted stereo controls are nice touches. As for the engine, its has good power for its price just my two cents :D
i really like the cobalt ss's, and all like u said, im a teenager, im trying to sell my car to save up for this, and also, "it has good power for its price" thats really true. and its also open to so many aftermarket parts, like corsa, AEM, and all high leading aftermarket companies to give it lots of power if you want a mean sreat car, thats my gooal.
Yea I agree with you I got this car when I graduated I got the 5 speed manual xfe. It's simple but that's a good thing down the road. No power anything. Simple cheap reliable and it still runs really good.
Edmunds said it. Its a turbo cavalier. Fuck that...If you are getting a 4banger....buy Japanese. They dont make that many 8cyl....we dont make that many (good) 4cyl.
Cobalt SS holds the record for a factory FWD car at the German Nürburgring
Pretty impressive... handling.
I do agree with edmunds though.. The Astra would be a good choice to put the goodies into.. But since Saturn is gonna go away eventually that wont happen.
@kens97sto171 Really?????? 8:22 - Chevrolet Cobalt SS.....the fastest 8:17 --- Renault R26.R fastest FWD car on Nürburgring but nice try trying to squeez the colbat in
Good to know that. I was told that a couple years ago...is the renault a newer car? Still were talking about 5 seconds over a 8min lap. Still pretty impressive. What does the renault cost?a cobat is in the mid $20's. The worst thing about the cobalt is the styling or the lack of it. But here in the usa its about the cheapest fast car u can buy.
@kens97sto171 Im not sure the cost but it is much more, However 5 seconds is a big gap on the track but i would spend less money on the SS because it may not be the best looking but it is bar far the best bang for the buck
@kens97sto171 Im not sure the cost but it is much more, However 5 seconds is a big gap on the track but i would spend less money on the SS because it may not be the best looking but it is bar far the best bang for the buck and the colbalt is a very impressive car
@sgtjones Except the Cobalt holds the record for a FWD "passenger car" which the R26.R clearly is NOT. For those of you who don't know about the car he's describing, R26.R is based on the Renault Megane. But unlike the Cobalt SS vs LS it's a different car. They strip out the rear seat and put in a roll cage. Renault says the R26.R goes from 0-62mph in 6 seconds. Clearly, even with seating for 5, no rollcage or 5 point harnesses, the Cobalt SS Turbo can compete with the heavily modded Renault.
@kens97sto171 I know that has passed some but what record was that? I didn't heard. I thought that Astra OPC held the record in those days with a 8:35. What was the time for the SS?
I saw it on a car review.. Motortrend, or Car and Driver. They were comparing serveral budget sorts cars, and mentioned that when they tested the Cobalt. I saw it on Youtube.. search for Cobalt ss comparison and you will find it. The Cobalt is done now.. the Chevy Cruze is the replacement.
No Edmunds, if YOU can get past the looks you'd realize it's the best pocket rocket you can buy today, not the Speed3. Speed3 is good, just not nearly as quick.
um for u evo lovers, evos are trash from rolls, there only good from the dig, since its an awd car, it takes off like a rocket, but on the highway they get shitted on all day and thats a fact, im not even a cobalt ss fan but im just stating facts, ive seen evo's/sti's get shitted on the freeway by preludes/rsx's/integs/civics/s2k's/srt-4's etc, n no they werent all turbo'd either..
no shit dude, i can make my friends mini van beat an evo! is just all depends on wat u put in it! either way, an evo is better than all those cars u've put! why?? one reason my freind, AWD! FWD sucks! n its funny u said( on the free way) thats the only chance any of those cars has of winning, from a roll! other than that, its goona get shitted on by awd and rwd! stick to those two n you'll be fine!
This cobalt deffinetly deserves the ss badge, it is not as fast at launching as sti's and evo's but on a highway roll this car will take subies and mitsu's, think about it, all three of these cars produce 240whp on dynojet except this has the fwd advantage on the highway. Go figure. Best bang for the buck hands down!
Why wouldn't it take them from the roll? Because the evo x mr is 40 g's and this is 25? A car with the same hp with fwd,600lb. lighter will not beat it from a roll? You got to retake your physics class man,clearly you think if something is overpriced then its alot better. And it beat all these cars at Virginia International Raceway
evo x beats the cobalt ss in nurburgring, 0-60, 1/4 mile, breaking, turning w.e its an all around faster car so your obviously a chevy fan boy and yes i am talking about an evo x if it were an 8 or 9 it would rape it even harder
your actually saying this cobalt ss if faster than a evo x? you must be one dumbass! i've beat this cobalt so many times, and my freinds stage 2 cobalt! but evo's my freind, are a way better car!
Yea I am. Have you drove either cars? Well I have drivin both so I would ummmm maybe know and stage 2 is a supercharged cobalt which both can beat. But stock for stock cobalt is faster.
Shut up already you faggot! Evo is heavier by 600 lbs so no way it can beat the SS from a 40 roll. You evo fanboys thought you were the shit since day one and now that a car with same power except alot cheaper comes you bash it. Stfu already both cars are good except ill put 6k I saved to buy a cobalt and invest that in mods and rape ur shit and we would both end up spending same amount of money at the end of the day. Peace out salad tosser!
lol ur a dumb motherfucker the cobalt DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME POWER you fucking douche bag plz stfu you do not know what the fuck you are talking about ya the car is 6 grand cheaper but you are also stuck with fwd and a shitty fucking interior have fun with your slowbalt so you can take down stock civic si's
I absolutely love my cobalt ss. I did come from driving an 01 cavalier but who cares. They are awesome cars :)

wow your a dumbass. i shouldn't even say anything else, but chevy's are made all around the world. the ones for sale in the u.s. are made in the u.s. (all models except aveo's), canada (trucks and suv's), mexico (trucks and suv's) and korea (the aveo).
ZRider3591 2 years ago
well i bought a brand new chevrolet cavalier in 1997 and it said on the frame "Made In Mexico" so what does that mean?
voltron821 2 years ago
It would be better if they were made outside of north american because the auto union here have destroyed the north american auto industry with their unrealistic demands. Why can't there some common sense used here. The non-unions are to one extreme and the union the other extreme. Meet in the middle and get rid of the bullshit.
voltron821 2 years ago
Since GM went into bankruptcy all the union contracts have to be rewritten. When the economy was up the contracts were ok, but the economy went down it they weren't so good. As for your cavalier, it was made in mexico it should have a 3 as the very first digit of its VIN. But i know for a fact other cavaliers were made in the U.S.

Edmunds guys are such pussies, and y were the grip numbers so low? Ive seen R&T get a 72.3 mph slalom
Heebda 2 years ago
Not to be a fanboy, but those numbers your spitting out are close to the GTR; supercar stats. Any car getting close to 68mph in a slalom is impressive enought already.

$118,00 is a bargain for a car that smokes imports that cost $250,000+ and broke world record lap times at nordshliefe. it's unanimous that it's one of the best cars in the world right now.
cobalts are for middle-aged grocery getters and spoiled teenage girls. saying cobalts are better performers than corvettes is like saying rosie o' donnell isn't fat.

and yeah imports will allways shit on um cars no matter what that's juae how it goes.
0spaceboy 2 years ago
By imports do you mean Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Audi, Mercedes Benz, or BMW? Or do you mean honda, toyota, acura, lexus, nissan, or kia? Because they are both considered "Imports" in America, and there is a little bit of a difference. If you are truly a car enthusiast, you would not be so bias. You would love all performance cars....

yeah, i'd say the vette is the GM supercar. And if i remember correctly the ZR1 is the fastest production car in america. So i'd say that makes it a "supercar"

spaceboy is clearly a moron. but it's ok, he's a honda guy so everyone else will just laugh.
watch the nordshliefe record breaking lap and then tell me if the vette isn't a supercar

shut the fuck up stop suckin saoschiodos2112 cock fagg lololol gm's are trash.118,000 for a zr1 i see y they don't sale lolololol.and all the damn recall gm been havein on the new camaro lol please just stop.
0spaceboy 2 years ago
you say 118k for a zr1 is why they don't sell...well first of all im not sure where you got 118k from unless thats what they are fully loaded..but anyway the zr1 is only 103k which is just over 100k so it's almost not even in the 6 digits...also you say import cars are better and at the same time your saying the zr1 is overpriced?? well i would love to hear you name a car with better performance or the same performance for the same or a lower price from any import car producer

@0spaceboy Um the ZR1 is a super car. and if your gonna say its over 100k look and the GTR spec V it is too and everyone always says its super car funny thing is the ZR1 has faster lap times and faster 0-60 and faster top speed. Werid how that happens. American car still in the Market the next 5 years will be all American cars just watch.

The cobalt is a front wheel drive budget sports car... not a high performance and high quality super car. The cobalt holds no record of any kind on the Nurburgring.

The cobalt is praised for being the best FWD car in it's league at that time.
JDawgg38023 2 years ago
no record of any kind? it has the record of being the fastest front wheel drive four cylinder.
perdedor3571 2 years ago
Actually that changes depending on the driving surface and ,obviously, the driver. Take these numbers with a grain of salt. If you see Ford advertise at car that does 4.5s 1/4 and Inside Line does it in 4.8s, it doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong. Nor would it necessarily mean the Ford is slower at 1/4 than a Mazda that has an advertised 1/4 of 4.4s. You can't count on these numbers, the only thing you should count on is how fast your foot hits the floor.

I like this cobalt ss, the exterior is simple, yet agressive, the interior is known as cheap to some, but again i find it simple, and as a teenager i wouldn't care less, as long as it works, and the ipod adapter and wheel mounted stereo controls are nice touches. As for the engine, its has good power for its price just my two cents :D
Mikelaren101 2 years ago 22
i really like the cobalt ss's, and all like u said, im a teenager, im trying to sell my car to save up for this, and also, "it has good power for its price" thats really true. and its also open to so many aftermarket parts, like corsa, AEM, and all high leading aftermarket companies to give it lots of power if you want a mean sreat car, thats my gooal.

Cobalt SS holds the record for a factory FWD car at the German Nürburgring
Pretty impressive... handling.
I do agree with edmunds though.. The Astra would be a good choice to put the goodies into.. But since Saturn is gonna go away eventually that wont happen.

@sgtjones
Good to know that. I was told that a couple years ago...is the renault a newer car? Still were talking about 5 seconds over a 8min lap. Still pretty impressive. What does the renault cost?a cobat is in the mid $20's. The worst thing about the cobalt is the styling or the lack of it. But here in the usa its about the cheapest fast car u can buy.
kens97sto171 1 year ago
@kens97sto171 Im not sure the cost but it is much more, However 5 seconds is a big gap on the track but i would spend less money on the SS because it may not be the best looking but it is bar far the best bang for the buck

@kens97sto171 Im not sure the cost but it is much more, However 5 seconds is a big gap on the track but i would spend less money on the SS because it may not be the best looking but it is bar far the best bang for the buck and the colbalt is a very impressive car
sgtjones 1 year ago
@sgtjones Except the Cobalt holds the record for a FWD "passenger car" which the R26.R clearly is NOT. For those of you who don't know about the car he's describing, R26.R is based on the Renault Megane. But unlike the Cobalt SS vs LS it's a different car. They strip out the rear seat and put in a roll cage. Renault says the R26.R goes from 0-62mph in 6 seconds. Clearly, even with seating for 5, no rollcage or 5 point harnesses, the Cobalt SS Turbo can compete with the heavily modded Renault.

@kens97sto171 I know that has passed some but what record was that? I didn't heard. I thought that Astra OPC held the record in those days with a 8:35. What was the time for the SS?

I saw it on a car review.. Motortrend, or Car and Driver. They were comparing serveral budget sorts cars, and mentioned that when they tested the Cobalt. I saw it on Youtube.. search for Cobalt ss comparison and you will find it. The Cobalt is done now.. the Chevy Cruze is the replacement.

um for u evo lovers, evos are trash from rolls, there only good from the dig, since its an awd car, it takes off like a rocket, but on the highway they get shitted on all day and thats a fact, im not even a cobalt ss fan but im just stating facts, ive seen evo's/sti's get shitted on the freeway by preludes/rsx's/integs/civics/s2k's/srt-4's etc, n no they werent all turbo'd either..
JLight619 2 years ago
no shit dude, i can make my friends mini van beat an evo! is just all depends on wat u put in it! either way, an evo is better than all those cars u've put! why?? one reason my freind, AWD! FWD sucks! n its funny u said( on the free way) thats the only chance any of those cars has of winning, from a roll! other than that, its goona get shitted on by awd and rwd! stick to those two n you'll be fine!

This cobalt deffinetly deserves the ss badge, it is not as fast at launching as sti's and evo's but on a highway roll this car will take subies and mitsu's, think about it, all three of these cars produce 240whp on dynojet except this has the fwd advantage on the highway. Go figure. Best bang for the buck hands down!
StyleAndSpeedx 2 years ago 4
it will certainly not take a evo or sti from any roll plz stfu
ZoobaMaFooProDuction 2 years ago
Why wouldn't it take them from the roll? Because the evo x mr is 40 g's and this is 25? A car with the same hp with fwd,600lb. lighter will not beat it from a roll? You got to retake your physics class man,clearly you think if something is overpriced then its alot better. And it beat all these cars at Virginia International Raceway

evo x beats the cobalt ss in nurburgring, 0-60, 1/4 mile, breaking, turning w.e its an all around faster car so your obviously a chevy fan boy and yes i am talking about an evo x if it were an 8 or 9 it would rape it even harder

Yea I am. Have you drove either cars? Well I have drivin both so I would ummmm maybe know and stage 2 is a supercharged cobalt which both can beat. But stock for stock cobalt is faster.

ZoobaMaFooProDuction 2 years ago
Shut up already you faggot! Evo is heavier by 600 lbs so no way it can beat the SS from a 40 roll. You evo fanboys thought you were the shit since day one and now that a car with same power except alot cheaper comes you bash it. Stfu already both cars are good except ill put 6k I saved to buy a cobalt and invest that in mods and rape ur shit and we would both end up spending same amount of money at the end of the day. Peace out salad tosser!

lol ur a dumb motherfucker the cobalt DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME POWER you fucking douche bag plz stfu you do not know what the fuck you are talking about ya the car is 6 grand cheaper but you are also stuck with fwd and a shitty fucking interior have fun with your slowbalt so you can take down stock civic si's
