Carlisle Events, Mike Blake, tests an '07 Chevy Cobalt SS

[Aaron509213]

It's SS OR SS/CS I need to know

[brenticus83]

I own a fully bolted 07 SS/SC and it's stupid fast, but don't call it a muscle car. PLEASE!!!

[bobolimasterflex]

hmm a supercharged car has a turbo boost gauge. what a fucking dumbass

[TheLS1GTO]

you are truly retarded. Its a boost guage. Turbo's and superchargers both produce boost.

[bobolimasterflex]

@TheLS1GTO how bout you actually listen to the video and when you do he says "you even have a turbocharged boost gauge to show you when the turbocharger is inactive" so you sir, can suck my dick

[bobolimasterflex]

@TheLS1GTO that is not the point the point is that he calls it a turbo boost gauge on a supercharged car.

[TheLS1GTO]

@bobolimasterflex your a fuckin retard. Forced induction (superchargers,magnachargers, prochargers, and turbos) all produce boost so they need a boost gauge. There is no particular guage like a "turbocharged boost guage" they are just boost guages. Damn you are stupid. Learn more about cars before yo utry to make me look like an idiot hahaha

[blockdotjn]

All kinds of awesome Cobalt racing and customization at Chevy Cobalt Labs - search for it.

[JWalk857]

anyone else notice that chicks eye?

[Flabernat]

Wow he sucks, . . 15 1/4th mile? Haha, they can do 14 flat.

[Nihil2005]

A muscle car is usually V8 powered, right? I mean, do you call a Neon SRT-4 a muscle car? No, the Neon and SS are called tuner cars.

[kerethan]

Agreed

[AnimepimpYT]

a car with to much power is the only requirement

[PlayerPunisher]

the 2005 spoiler is better than that little shit

[JWalk857]

i agree it looks better, but it does come right in the middle of the line of sight when looking in the rear view mirror... and while driving I noticed it bounced quite a bit... maybe an upgrade to a Carbon Fiber spoiler isn't a bad idea

[srt4edwin]

new age muscle car? alot of power? i like cobalt's but why lie about them when there stock lol

the guy says supercharger then the dumbass in the car goes ahead and says turbocharged lol i would think the editors would have seen that mistake lol

[TuscaniJoeGT6]

This is a cobalt SS its supercharged and its got a SUPERCHARGER IN IT ! NO SHIT

lol

they are slow the new ones coming out are gonna be sweet though.

[jrodlt195]

That thing is supercharged and still slow as hell.

[palebeachbum]

Performance-wise, very cool. But this thing looks like a rental car. BORING! Chevy stylists are good at that. And it weighs over 2900lbs? That's hefty for a subcompact car.

[VTEC313]

"New Age American Muscle Car"? ? ? ? Lame!

[keyofdavid88]

Shut up about that stupid Hummer already! gees

[RTiger18]

lame ass cobalt

[ghosstryda]

LOL supercharged or turbo charged, the old guy can't even get it straight...  suckie editors

[SickAudi]

hahahaha soo truu

[foxtrot1662]

hahaha i was thinking the same thing

[theshadowonme]

Garbage.

[rebeldragon69]

I love how he calls it turbocharged because of the boost gauge.. jackass...

[SickAudi]

haha lmao truu

[93foxGT]

i saw a bone stock 06 SS dyno at 236 HP

[ginoSS87]

the cobalt ss superchargers really have 220 hp maybe even more ppl r getting those dynoed around those #s and stock to.

does the quarter in 14

[Flabernat]

15 quarter mile, Ha, a good driver who can launch that car properly will get 14 flat.

[RangerMH]

My best time was 14.3 on a 1/4 mile. Stock.

[Flabernat]

I'd love to have a supercharged Cobalts SS. 14.3 is pretty darn good, that's almost a second faster than what these people said it could do.

[atomicsheep014]

That's not an 07. 07's aren't SC. They're 2.4l's not 2.0's.

[SunfireSL]

not true...the second year of production for the cobalt, they came out with a Cobalt SS non-supercharged. This was in addition to the Supercharged SS. Sooo since the second year of the cobalt, there has been 2 ss models. 1 model is supercharged 2.0L and the non-S/C 2.4L

[D4u2s0t]

there are sc'07's it's the 08's that are not sc.

[psychokilla2000]

07 ss/sc is 2.0... 07 ss is 2.2 the none ss are 2.4. i havnt seen anything on 2008 SS just rumor only 08 is the s1 with a 2.4, but who cares cos the camaro is gonna come out in 09

[D4u2s0t]

no, you have it backwards. the 07 SS is the 2.4. the 2.2 is the base model. and only a rumor? it has been released by gm, there are videos, and the car has been at MANY sema shows. the new cobalt set the class record lap time at the 'ring course. it's not a rumor, will be out next year.

[madmax196633]

the 08 is a 2.4 turbo

[napalm84]

muscle car? that guy is full of shit...

[tjtruckin208]

Got to love General Motors who ever thought a Cobalt would be cool.

[SunfireSL]

so he says it's supercharged...but then he says it has a "turbo boost gauge to tell you when the TURBO is being used"..i find it funny that these are supposed to be "professionals"..and they are 205hp. stock.not 240..this guy needs to go read more books

[atomicsheep014]

Dumbshit 07's have a 2.4l 275 hp stock engine w/o turbo or SC. Know your facts b4 you bitch about somebody else.

[psychokilla2000]

wow i hope your not talking about 07 cobalt ss/sc cos that has a 2.0 with 205 hp stock the stage 2 sc gives it about 40 more hp. and its a supercharger boost gauge i think he thinks all boost gauges are turbos lol. if you guys arnt talkin about the 07 ss/sc cobalts just know i was too lazy to read all the threads lol

[D4u2s0t]

yea, the guy doing the talking here really doesn't know what he's talking about lol

[WarlordZach]

I find it funny how all these people are saying that it will be disconinuted next year, this is partially true, The Cobalt SS supercharged will be discontinued but will be replaced with the Cobalt SS Turbo Charged, and civc si what a joke, driven both cobalt SS supercharged is better in every way IN MY OPINION

[mr2021]

I like it, my neighbor has one, he has tuned his and has a good 266 hp, he plans on getting more stuff to do to it, not a bad car, it has flaws but now it has a $17,000 price tag for barely used ones so it ain't bad, when you are a broke college student in need of cheap speed.

[hipvspec]

why Cobalt SS. in straight line it can't out gun SRT4 and MS3, in corners it's nowhere near as entertaining as Si or Mini, or Gti. in term of quality...junky door slam and trash can plastic interior with sharp edges(sit in it at auto show tells it all). oh, and resale value(haha). would that slightly cheaper MSRP help?

[angrymidget12]

hey dumbass its 240 stock

[storm1580]

1/4 mile 15.00 kinda slow

[CowboyDiplomacy]

for a 4 banger it rocks, the Ecotec (2.2l) is world famous for being a verry tourquey 4 cyl. But the best part of all is, you can buy a kit directly from GM to get 1,000 horses out of it (w/o N2O)

[storm1580]

how much that cost?

[mysteed]

Eleventy billion dollars. It's called the Stage 23928472 kit.

[storm1580]

ha ha ha...go jump off a cliff

[mktrill]

it is about 900 for stage 2, and i believe another 1000 for stage 3 but yeah it's worth it

[gtdrummerdude]

Not really. Ride in a car that really runs 15.0, you'll have a fuckin BLAST. My car runs 15.0, I ran with a HEMI 300C, beat an Acura RSX and TL Type S, beat a Cobalt SS, beat an SRT-4 till 70 mph etc. A street car that you can run 15.0 in ALL DAY w/o nitrous is a very fun car. Sure 13.0 is faster, but it's not gonna be a very consistant car (i.e. needs good conditions, perfect launch and driving, constant tuning etc.) and won't be a very reliable daily driver.

[D4u2s0t]

good drivers run low 14's.

[Zrider87]

I heard that "maybe" the SRT-4 is gonna be converted to AWD hence due to the torque problem...since the Evo and SRT-4 have the same engine design. Thats what I heard from my shop =/

[ixFUhKTxURxGRL]

We know that it is a competent performer, but it seems that we(gm) quietly decided to discontinue it. The naturally aspirated SS, however, will soldier on, but with a new name. For 2008, the Cobalt SS becomes the Cobalt Sport, and the Cobalt SS Supercharged is being dropped altogether--(General Motors)

[sbeutler]

Check this video: youtube com/watch?v=urwJVnWHjiI (you have to put the . in between "youtube" and "com" but if you want to read about it or see pictures go to cobaltss DOT net

[ixFUhKTxURxGRL]

Civic si is better and has a much much better resale value than thise piece of shit

[D4u2s0t]

if by better, you mean slower acceleration, slower top speed, worse braking, and worse handling, then you sir are correct. the interior is nicer on the SI though lol the SI is on par performance-wise with he non-supercharged ss cobalt.

[ixFUhKTxURxGRL]

the cobalt sprchgd SS might be a little quicker than the Si, but the SS supercharged doesnt exist anymore as of next year--the Si will go on for years to come

[D4u2s0t]

that doesn't make it better. the cobalt is being realeased turbochargedfor the 2008.5 model year. and it's not a little quicker. 1/2 to 3/4 second stock, assuming good drivers is a BIG difference. there is NOTHING performance wise even close to the same level here. the only people that talk about resale value is honda lovers. CAR lovers could give 2 shits about resale when they buy a car. what's next, hp per liter arguments?? lol

[ixFUhKTxURxGRL]

clown, the cobalt supercharged 08 doesnt exist, GM discontinued it because they kept breaking down

--similar to the fate of the SRT-4 which was also discontinued because of the shitty turbo that also kept breaking down on customers

[D4u2s0t]

learn before you speak. it was not discontinued because it was breaking down. and, it will be released with a turbo and the new lnf engine. i love how people nitpick every little thing here. especially the honda fans. the things that they think are "important" are really not, and don't make a difference. fact of the matter is that the cobalt still outperforms the SI in every single performance category. what do you have to say about that one?

[Zrider87]

they are coming out with a new version of the SRT-4...

[D4u2s0t]

yea. and all the srt guys are disapointed with it. maybe if they figure out the torque management they can actually accelerate. the 19's don't help. and the rotors and brakes are so big that slicks won't fit on the car. bye bye good track times.

[SCcobaltSS]

Absolutely Wrong. They discontinued it because it didnt meet emission standards for 2008. The turbo charged cobalt comes out mid 2008 and will have 260 hp.

[D4u2s0t]

keep believing the hype lol. probably had more to do with gm's contract with eaton expiring than anything.

[SCcobaltSS]

Its not just a rumor it is a fact. It failed emission standards for 2008.

[D4u2s0t]

yes it did. but that doesn't mean that's why it was discontinued. had more to do with not renewing the contract.

[SCcobaltSS]

If Gm's contract expired with eaton then why does the 2008 cadillac cts-v have an eaton supercharger in it.

[archangel76106]

@ixFUhKTxURxGRL lol hope urs still around cause we got a 260Hp turbo cobalt lol and ur srt4 got converted to a large mini van before being discontinued

[tro5k]

Man, i really miss the big wing on the back, why GM changed it, i don't get it.

[anthonymiles25]

don't want anybody to throw off on me, but it's supercharged not turbocharged...

[greasemonkey8100]

205 horsepower, not 200...i have the base base $11k ls 2007 cobalt

[evildave567]

woot! i'm getting a cobalt soon! maybe a 2006 version but this one looks sexy!! I don't care what noone says the cobalt is king for me

[tkosmen]

WTF, this shit pisses me off, this dumbass says it has a turbo charge gauge!!!!lmao!!!what a dumbass, he says it has a supercharger, and then says that the gauge tells you that the turbo is working!rofl!!!he also said it had 200hp!!!it actually has 210hp moron

[iomatic]

eltigrito1: you sire, are a tool. No, a supercharger is not the same as a turbocharger, although they perform similar tasks. This cool new website called Google will assuage your ignorance.

[GreaseStain]

he might be confused by the fact that both methods are called 'supercharging'

[ScytheSnake]

Wow....this is dumb as all hell. He can't even get the numbers right. Its (under)rated atr 205 HP and 200 lbs-ft of torque! And I didn't know the boost gauge was for the invisible turbo! Grrrr!! And the ss/sc can consistently run 14's (best time being 14.1) in the quarter, and it does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds....looks like this guy REALLY did his research lol.

[MrSmileyAss]

Wow this sales guy is a duschebag! the 2.0 "supercharged" not turbocharged engine has 205 hp and 200 lbs of torque. Not the other way around. Plus it does 0-60 in 5.9 not 6.5 seconds. This dude needs to refresh himself to the car before he goes on T.V. and makes a total ass outta himself.

[eltigrito1]

u dumbass supercharged is turbocharged..is the same shit, they r diferrent but they do the same thing!!

[1mp4c7]

lol i wish they were the same shit.. the supercharger doesn't have any "lag", and in high rpm's is not so effective as the turbochargers. Some rally cars had both turbocharger and supercharger..

[GreaseStain]

put the proper turbos on the proper engine, and lag is almost non-existant. with a best possible set up, super chargeing will increase engine out to 50%, while turbo's are capable of 100%.

[Terellw25]

you have no idea what you are talking about, do you?... what kind of car do you drive? do you even own a supercharged or turbocharged car?

[GreaseStain]

neither rig i own is supper chargered, but i am a marine engineer, 4th class motor. i work with turbos the size of cars.

and i;m serious, less turbo diameter means less lag time, but you lose your boost numbers will come down. as for the (rough) numbers the supercharger loses output to parasidic loses from driving the s.c. of of the crank,

[GreaseStain]

the turbo's impressive gains come from the fact it's driving off of a waste product, normaly not used for anything. final effiency is up to you and your set up.

btw, what do you drive?

[D4u2s0t]

if by the same you mean the opposite, then i guess so. a supercharger compresses air and forces it into the intake manifold while a turbocharger pulls air out of the exhaust manifold. you call people dumbass, say it's the same shit, but you have no idea what you're talking about. i love the uneducated idiots on this site that think they know everything.

[ixFUhKTxURxGRL]

show me your sources on how the 08 cobalt ss is going to have a turbo!

[SCcobaltSS]

ha i guess your one of them. Because they both do the same thing just in a different way. The whole point of a turbo or a supercharger is to force more air into each cylinder hence why they are both called forced induction. A runs off of the exhaust when a supercharger does not and has a belt connected directly to the engine.

[gwood82]

Well word for the wise, there will be a turbo cobalt in 09. It will come with a T2.5/or T3 turbo and it will have around 260hp base. on a 2.4L ecotec. Trust me on this one :)

[zissu1]

where did you read this.. cus i have been trying to serch for info and i dont come acroos anithing..

[vlipke]

oppps of course I meant high 13's in the 1/4....

[vlipke]

sorry buddy, there is no stock redline or cobalt ss that runs high 13's to 60. Best stock times I have seen are 14.2, most are mid 14's. Oh yea I OWN ONE!!

[Flabernat]

What an idiot! try 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds and high 13's in the 1/4th mile.

[codeman6669]

lol he was a moron, but there will be no turbo cobalt bro, thats already been announced

[gwood82]

WOW!!! The sales guys is a retard. A turbo boost gauge for the turbo lmao. It's a superhcarger ass!!!! Turbo'ed cobalts are im 08-09 you're a little to early there bud.

[sporkman52]

he also has the hp and torque backwards
