Cobalt SSizzles: 2008 Chevy Cobalt SS @ the Track

[Homfridus]

This video is false, my car with warranty, with stock dealership ad-dons. Did 13.466 @ 106.78 MPH, which is a great run for a GMS1 cobalt turbo.

[americansmark]

Someone's Blackberry got a text at 1:22

[denonphyte]

arguing about a POS CHEVY-FORD on the internet is like winning the science award at a special school, at the end of the day your still retarded.

PLUS Having a '' fast '' COBALT is like coming out of the closet. People are a ''little shocked'' at first, but in the end you're still gay....

[kirbyswarp]

This kills any civic si...those are slow as shit.

My granpa can beat one in his 1997 cadillac deville concours-and old person car

[10spokess]

no way 14.0 at 115.6

[yeahitsturbod1]

14.0 at 115. no way they are fibing. I have a tc and there is no way that you run 115 and only see 14 sec. thats crazy. my best time stock was 14.4 at 101 and that was at 5800ft so they need to get some new drivers like me lol

[porbonostar]

@yeahitsturbod1 why would they get worse drivers...

[yeahitsturbod1]

@porbonostar well it sounds like to me that they need a driver perriod. cuz there is no way they ran 115mph and only hit 14s. sounds like to me that they just guessed what it would run and said that is what it ran.

[CaptObvious75]

supposed to be 14.0 @ 103mph...

[Trnlshrk]

14.0@115.6? Owning one I can guarantee you that trap speed is horrendously incorrect. Even one staged doesn't hit that, and only a custom tune is going to net you a trap speed in that range but with a dramatically lower ET.

[Luminakisharblaze]

So what do you expect for the price

[SinaloalokoCLN]

Pretty !

[jeffreyjuan100]

beutiful car

[krzydude94]

its front wheel drive?

[willneverstop]

14.0 at............115.6?????????

[princeofroyalty2]

????? Can anyone explain to me what is going on with the trap speed???? 14.0 sec at 115mph?????

[princeofroyalty2]

14.0 sec at 115.6??? Im soo confused LMAO the Nissan 370z does the quarter mile in 13.5 sec at 103MPH...... How is the Colbalt going Faster, yet getting a slower Quarter mile time?? Someone EXPLAIN!!! lol Thanx

[EvenSteven2004]

@princeofroyalty2, that's obviously an error in the video. The speed is probably about 99 or 100 MPH, which is about right for a 14.0 second car on street tires.

[widowedeight]

@EvenSteven2004 yeah cause they suck, i pulled a 13.8@103 stock, record is 13.5@104

[cblt2007]

@princeofroyalty2 its all of the line.. the cobalt is fwd and spins through first and 2nd.. as the 370z is rwd and launchs alot better..

[Mofofernando]

@princeofroyalty2 its a trap speed just cause it has a higher trap doesnt mean it can run the 1/4 faster but it may be a mistake cause that seems high for a stock ss

[86bmw325i]

This car is gay

[willneverstop]

@86bmw325i how

[cblt2007]

@willneverstop cuz hes a bmw fan duh.. anything better than a bmw is gay to him because its beats his 40k dollar car =)

[0spaceboy]

there slow as fuck but handle really good =)

[camopaint0707]

well my twincharged 2.4 with a 75 wet shot breaks 10 seconds so beat that, oh wait you can't

[southsidebaby17]

urs is moded mine isnt so i bet i still can!

[camopaint0707]

no actually you can't

[southsidebaby17]

says who? lol scared of a challange?! hahahaha

[camopaint0707]

dude I don't even have a car

[southsidebaby17]

ok so wtf, u just lied? u know wat forget it ur just wasting my time!

[camopaint0707]

thats kind of the point

[southsidebaby17]

troll

[camopaint0707]

you have no idea

[Brad1711]

@camopaint0707 wow you are so cool.

[bennychan723]

alot of un-burn fuel traval in the pipe causeing backfire on every gear

[TheFastSS]

you guys need to check out chevycobaltforums

[Doctors2Advocate]

Yes... it is a typo... I'd this best this car could possibly trap on stock tires is 105

[BPASoCal]

think about it though, in my opinion this car and the 370z are the best car for the money hands down. This car performs great for a fwd car and the 370z outperforms cars that cost nearly twice as much as it. 2 great cars for the price and they look great too. And the cool thing about factory turbod cars is they cost less to make faster.

[jeffs93z28]

yeah, slicks make a big difference but the ss/tc cars have launch control that holds the car to 5,000 rpm so it dont spin much and also a no lift shift, but slicks would make it faster.

[jeffs93z28]

I just looked it up and yes it is a typo. The cobalt ss turbo with 260 horsepower does the quarter in 14.0 at 103.6 mph. I'm on the cobalt ss forums so I knew I had seen people who owned these cars post their times. So 98montecarloz34 it istnt that fast. You probably do get 100 in your ss/sc. They arent that different in a short run.

[98montecarloz34]

i still think that if you put slicks on it you could get it to go that fast...they make a big diff.

[MikePeperni]

I have one and the best i did is 14.025 @ 104 mph, with lot of wheelspin in 1st gear.. 2.4 in 60' it is a typo at 115 mph

:)

[jeffs93z28]

115 in the 1/4! NOT. That was a typo. This car gets like 102mph in the quarter.

[98montecarloz34]

ya it does do it a 115mph my ss/sc can get over a 100 in the 1/4 with good tires

[maxou5757]

lol the GOLF R will kill this car, 0-62 in 5.5 seconds, 270hp AWD DSG ! a much better car overall.

[98montecarloz34]

i cant say that beating it by .3 of a sec to 60 is killing it!!!

[maxou5757]

yes it's killing it because of all the technology, equipment and quality it has compared to the SS.

[bibi1918]

Like 98montecarlo34 said, .3 of a sec isn't a kill. And by the way, how much will cost a R version ?

[maxou5757]

Will all the equipment and the great interior the R will have, it will certainly cost more than the Cobalt SS but it's just normal

[mizzoufan4life]

so is the ss version of the cobalt the only v6 1 or is there another version thats also a v6

[Adammartini]

none of them ar v-6 the ss is a turbo 4 the others are just 4

[Georgenfla]

The cavoleer is a piece of shit, very much a throw away car. You would have to drive one to believe how junky they are made. I mean, really a crappy car, and its built in amerika too. Typical!

[JcmMagNoo]

SS meaning Super Slow!!

[southsidebaby17]

ur mum waz pretty slow last night! oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[JcmMagNoo]

dude i got your mom for free and im not satisfied. so i took it back to GM and they gave me 5K for that bitch. whats that satisfaction 60 days return.SUPER SLOW thats what she said. LOL!

[southsidebaby17]

wow u make no sense so as 4 that i will n can only say go fuck yourself myh good sir!:)

[Bailey19Louie]

edmunds is shit!!!  bogus #'s

[TuQwik4u]

Ya i thought they were too high too...

[jkheslekrants]

I am a chevy man and i agree that trap speed is a major type o. 14.0 @ 103 is something that is more realistic not 115 hahahaa. Wow

[IrishChris1979]

14.0 @ 103.6 is more like it since it ran a 13.9 @ 104 in Motor Trend not too long ago. Maybe 115 in the 1/4 mile with a 125 shot of NOS lol ;)

[southsidebaby17]

no sir my cobalt hits a 12.89 at 132 mph in the tracks with an 100 shot! dont under estimate the balls of a compact muscle car like that of a chevy coblat my dumass friend!:)

[IrishChris1979]

100 shot my ass. You should be in the 10's with that trap speed.

I was giving the cobalt ss props, not bashing it. I own a modded 2007 corvette... Read my profile. Oh, and it's spelled dumbass, not dumass, you dumbass =)

[southsidebaby17]

shit i didnt know my grammer teacher had a youtube account you fuckface! anywayz if thats wat u think your wrong yet again ill post my vid onece i hit the tracks again for you dumbass 2 see!:)

[southsidebaby17]

its funy u say that as i sit in my dorm but ok go fuckyourself like i said!:)

[camopaint0707]

you need a grammar lesson

[southsidebaby17]

u need 2 jump of my dick!:0 grammar freaks! hahahahaha

[southsidebaby17]

yea very original buddy n i don need ur luck! peace

[JcmMagNoo]

@southsidebaby17 good luck with your POS then and go fuck yourself to.

[W1ldSm1le]

0-60 in 5.8 with that terrible of a launch?

[mak450]

wait whats with that trap speed? 115mph? lol

[sdmws6]

there's no way it's 115 trap speed.

[Doctors2Advocate]

Yeah that's way off they trap like 102-104 or so. Guys have ran 13.6 trapping 104.

[sahandsesoot]

yeh its odd!!

[VXLBeast]

I always despised these, but that thing was posting some good numbers. How much are these?

[rsuccihky15]

~22k

[VXLBeast]

Thanks man!

For that price I would get a MS3 though.

[archangel76106]

this has better features like a launch control or no lift feature, that doesn't make ur turbo lag, u can shift while holding the gas down. No car under 25K has those two things.

[VXLBeast]

Yah, this car is mroe impressive than I thought.

[Gondee]

I dont recommend using the launch control. I have one, and it isnt so easy on the transmission

[dakotamcatee]

It must have held up during testing or it wouldn't have it.

[raver0789]

People dissing this car on here have no clue. Edmunds drivers aren't that good. They had a hard time getting the GTR to g beyond 3.8 seconds 0 - 60, nm that car does it for you lol.

Anyway people who rag on this car have no clue. This car is already out of the sports car league (except the subaru), and a 700 dollar bolt on from GM (which doesn't void your 5 year warranty) gives you 315hp and 340lb feet of torque in a 2700lb car. That's rediculous.

[ausdave555]

Front wheel drive + turbo = ? .... you cant use the term 'sports car' on somethings thats front wheel drive.

For example, imagine trying to power around a corner in a 315hp cobalt with the back wheels dragging along behind doing whatever they feel like. Now try it again in a WRX or something rwd like an s2000 or even a miata/mx5

[marinmijatovic]

It weighs 2975 lbs.

[TBSSAWDLS2]

@raver0789 280hp 320 tq 3100 pound car, still impressive as hell though

[widowedeight]

@raver0789 2900lb car, not 2700

[datto240z]

@raver0789 yea but its ugly as shit

[vinnieg2831]

These guys just dont push the cars very hard that they test beacause they allways show slower numbers then what every 1 else dose. 08+ ss balts are bad ass 0-60 times vary from driver to driver. The best ive seen was 5.4 0-60 and a 1/4 mile time of 13.5 so yeah the new turbo balt is bad ass. And yes it will beat a srt-4, and im a mopar guy my dream car is a srt charger and a 69 charger so me sayin a cobalt will beat srt-4 isnt what i would like but it dose beat srt-4s.

[jodybreeze318]

Dude Seriousy. You Like Chevrolet too much to be sayin a Cobalt can run a 13. CORVETTS CAN BARELY DO THAT!!

[viperman5686]

In 2005, Car and Driver ran a base C6 Corvette at 12.7 in the quarter.

[extol48]

The Colbalt ss can run 13's in the quarter mile. You need to do your homework.

[booker357mag]

Corvettes run 11's all damn day..

[KINGSRT4]

SRT-4.!! FUCK THEM slowBALTSs

[Louisbk15]

what an idiot, one of my fav. cars is a 70's dodge challenger, but this cobalt, and probably even the base models will take it, hell my gay ass 3.0 95 ford ranger smokes em

[diddylx50]

115mph or so did I read on the 1/4 mile...LOL

A stock ss/tc is 101-104mph at a real dragstrip.

[blkmagicc4]

everything here is believable except for that trap speed. no way in hell its traps at 115mph. it took it 115 ft to stop it so i think there was a typo somewhere. awesome car tho and i want to get one as my daily when they come down in price

[unresolved777]

you know this is the last year for the cobalts? its being replaced by the chevy cruze. and their turbo models will have a 1.4 liter engine.

[cmala100]

i know its kinda late to ask this but is tat a fact ? :(

bc i want 1 but i hav to wait till next dec to get my lic

[unresolved777]

yeah GM may eliminate it in Dec 09, sooner than they wanted to. then the Cruz. a 1.4 Liter turbo engine will be available i dont know for which market but is estimated for 140-150 hp and tq with over 40mpg, then a 2 liter with 150hp and236tq.

in fact the car, Cruz, is actually a Daewoo if im not mistaken. still nothing about an SS model.

[chucknduck7]

a forced induction 4 cylinder is cheaper to produce, weighs less, and gets better gas mileage. a big v6 wont fit into a cobalt and will overload the front end.

[pudgypicken]

hey someone help me please. why dont they just give it a v-6 instead of trying to make a tiny 4 cylinder fast. im only 14 so no harsh comments.

[chucknduck7]

lets see a time slip that shows 13.8 bone stock, and no, they say 5.7 - 5.8. Chevrolet says 5.7, not 5.4. I found one timeslip on the internet and it says 14.2. Thats with a 5.7 0-60

[cmiller8006]

go to cobalt ss 13.56 on youtube that a friend of mine

[chucknduck7]

"YOUR DUMB!!!! the cobalt ss/tc weighs 2900 lbs. and acturally does 0-60 in 5.4 sec. do some research. it also has a much better quarter mile time then most rwd cars. between 13.56-13.8 are average with a good driver"

Bullshit

[cmiller8006]

take your bullshit somewhere else you obviously dont know WTF your taking about go to car and driver, motortrend they all say 5.4 0-60 and they say 13.9 quarter but I have ran 13.8 bone stock

[LZKS]

Wait wait wait. WTF. 0-60 5.8 sec?!? Sigh.. fucking edmund loves LOVES american cars. A almost 4000lb car with FWD, and just 260hp does 5.8 sec??? Yea, uh huh. Sure. I can name over 5 cars with much better hp and less weight and rwd or awd that doesn't do 5.8 sec ok? FUCKIN EDMUND STOP RIGGING NUMBERS!!!

[cmiller8006]

YOUR DUMB!!!! the cobalt ss/tc weighs 2900 lbs. and acturally does 0-60 in 5.4 sec. do some research. it also has a much better quarter mile time then most rwd cars. between 13.56-13.8 are average with a good driver

[shbycbra427]

The point that the person was making is that a rwd or awd setup produces way better acceleration than fwd. They definately got the weight wrong though. 4000 lbs? What do they think this is, a mustang?

[350Zed]

"YOUR DUMB?"

To what mute possession of mine are you referring, Mr. I-Read-at-a-Third-Grade-Level?

[elzaco29]

omg yes. thank you, whoever you are, for calling him out on that.

[pawntec]

@LZKS lol ur a moron...the balt is almost 3k lbs not almost 2 tons....lol

[LZKS]

So... they say... this car is only 4 sec behind Lexus ISF in nurburgring time. For those idiotically blinded SS lovers, good for you. For those who knows cars, you should now know that most nurburgring times are absolute BS.

[IcanCuNowcanUCme]

That's a pretty fast trap speed for a 14.0 sec 1/4 mile. Nice car.

[chucknduck7]

Good God you are all retarded. "The most easy language EVER?... " WTF kind of english is that? It is THE EASIEST LANGUAGE ever. You should learn it too, you dumbass holy!

[MeatballYaro2]

hahahahahahahahahaha

lololololol

You are so right!

[cmiller8006]

if you look it up its really one of the hardest to learn and speak

[chucknduck7]

lol, how ironic considering its "gonna" or "going to". Not gunna

[chucknduck7]

The numbers coming from GM and real world track numbers are two very different things. A car that runs 14 flat would have to have a 0-60 time around 5 even, not closer to 6 seconds. Dodge/Chrysler was building cars with 4 cylinder motors over 20 years ago (2.2 liter intercooled turbos) that had performance on par (and in some cases even much better) than the current cobalt SS.

[abellrj]

the only way to make an si as fast as an ss would take 5k, 3 for the turbo one for the clutch and the other grand would be for the beater you'd have to buy once the drivetrain shatters

[Alunalake]

I believe you for sure.. That new cobalt is sweet.. The launch control must really help get off the line nicely.. Sometimes I launch in my SRT and do nothin but melt tires.. As long as I keep it around 3500 i'm ok.. To bad our cars look like neons and cobalts though.. I have to say that the civic looks better but it's just way to slow.. 139ft lbs? Thats sooooo lame

[HONDAaSIf]

true but 14's with 139 tq is pretty good...hondas never had and never will have tq lol

[Alunalake]

Yeah the honda really screams and makes the most out of the power it has.. It might pull a 14.9 if you drive it perfect.. Honda would sell so many more civics if it had a little turbo on it.. I would trade my srt4 for it for sure.. But I doubt thats ever gonna happen.. In the mean time i'll enjoy my little rocket...

[MeatballYaro2]

ha Civics suck madballz

i dont think civics look better...theyre kind of ugly actually

[e52892]

i think toyota are the ugliest of all cars, they look to aerodynamic and plastic like. even their trucks do.

[kpnutswales]

I reckon you're all girls and wannabes anyway and none of you really are old enough to drive yet...are you??? come on admit it.....

[Alunalake]

Your living in the past bro.. All you civic owners say is that domestic always break down, bla bla bla.... I have over forty thousand miles on my 05 SRT 4 and not a sinlge problem yet.. I raced a 07 Si the other day and smoked him so easily I felt bad.. Thats what counts on the street bro.. I think the honda is a great car and it is but they are just toooo slow for me.. take care

[archangel76106]

yeah im a fan of domestics tose srt-4 neons are awesome. too bad i smoked two of my friends srt-4's with my 08 cobalt ss/tc. Any domestic is awesome

[kbarnett04]

Hey lets argue about crappy cars that don't matter. !yeah!

[cmiller8006]

And what is your car smart one.

[Alunalake]

Please people.. Hondas and Chevy's are great in their own respect.. All I see on hear are people that drive Civics getting pissed cause their 139ftlbs of torque can't do shit against the ss and srt4's.. Sorry for your loss..

[cracc408]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha exactly. 5.8 is not fast but wayyyyyyyy faster then a honda hahhaah. btw i was doing 4.8 so i have nothing to worry about

[alehuj]

Are you comparing N/A to supercharged and Turbo? Anyways I used to own domestic but when it failed me every week i threw it out. Besides i can sell my 10year old civic for a good price and it will still drive for 10 more years with no problem. Sorry your loss if you drive domestic,,,,

[pawntec]

@Alunalake AMIN

[alexkvaskov]

If you were to turbo an Si though, it would be pretty sick

[alexkvaskov]

The Si does 0-60 in 6.3, the SS in 5.4

The Si pulls .9G

The SS pulls .92G

[holyjesuswashere]

The SS might be faster... but in quality, it sucks big dicks... My friend had one and what a piece of shit. Anyway, bring in an impreza, supra... or a german car for the same price and we shall see... FUCK GM THOSE DOUSHES... hope they close down.

[cmiller8006]

well an impreza is the same as an evo. for the supra i dont see you getting one for close to the same price as a ss/tc, and take it to the twisties and see what happens

[Destinedtodie]

is your gunna talk shit, at least learn to spell first.

"Douches"

[holyjesuswashere]

XD gunna rolf... And I can speak 4 languages ;) You?... Only english? The most easy language EVER?... Yea thought so...

[pawntec]

@holyjesuswashere lol do your homework the cobalt is german.....Opel Astra....

[shoDOHC]

Gotta give it up to this car. The Cobalt SS is pretty sick...love the wheels, body lines are clean, performance is great...not to mention potential with that engine..

[Alunalake]

Whats up with that quarter speed, 115mph? Usually right around 100mph. I'm very surprised by this car, it pulls hard for sure.. I'd take a 05 srt4 over that anyday..

[marinmijatovic]

Exactly what I was thinking, no way in hell can it trap 115mph. The average is between 100 and 105mph.

[nwonknu8]

when it braked, it really looked like the past corolla!

[yomonstruo]

what engine and hp do those cars have??

[cmiller8006]

2.0 260hp 260tq 0-60 5.4 quarter mile of 13.8stock car and driver

[yomonstruo]

ive been reading about those cobalts ss and i saw there was a supercharged version,and it had an output of 204hp,so what did they did?,did they replaced the supercharger with a turbocharger?

[mtooshort20]

Cobalt SS Turbo has a 2.0l turbocharged inline 4 making 260hp and 260ft-lbs torque...to the wheels its 245hp and 253ft-lbs torque

The Cobalt SS Supercharged was a 2.0l supercharged inline 4 that was underrated from the factory. They said it was 205hp and like 200ft-lbs, but it was actually around 240hp and 230ft-lbs

[cmiller8006]

stock the sc never will make 240 hp and 230ftlbs never

[yomonstruo]

then they are two different engines,with similar specs.thanks for answering!

[alexkvaskov]

the 0-60 time is off too

it's more like 5.4

[Toyotaminivans]

eww...... these cars can suck freakin balls

Honda Si will kick this things ass

[DHkJedimindtrickz]

are u fuking serious a si sucks dick and is lagging behind from the older Si from 2001

[Toyotaminivans]

This thing's interior is comparable to a POS Chevy Aveo's. which that car IS WAY cheaper then this....- by about 10K.

What a shame.....

[sl0wm0]

are you retarded? try reading some comparisons between the Cobalt SS Turbo and other cars in its class (like Mazdaspeed 3, Volkswagon GTI, etc) Honda SI doesn't even make it on the list. Dumbass

[mtooshort20]

you ricers are really, really stupid lol. The Si would be destroyed by the Cobalt SS Turbo....0-60 is actually 5.4 secs, and most of us hit 13.6-13.9secs in 1/4 mile...how in the heck is a Si that does 0-60 in 6.5 secs and a 1/4 mile in 15.5 gonna "kick this things ass"???

Get real man lol

[Toyotaminivans]

yeah right. 0-60 in 5.4? YOU MEAN 5.8!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND???

Before you can go around proving me wrong...... I should prove you wrong

TRY AGAIn

[cmiller8006]

you are fuckin retarded. do the research before posting anything. the only person being proved wrong is you. motor trend, car and driver both had the new ss SEDAN to 60 in 5.5 sec. and the coupe to 60 in 5.4 with stock tires and both said that with better tires better times would be had

[pawntec]

@Toyotaminivans lol dude there are so many factors that will make or break the times.....so yeah something like that you text book warrior LOL

[06superchargedbalt]

14.0 @ 115?!?!?!?

[agent007kimball]

They definetly got that 1/4 mile time wrong. It is closer to 105mph.....Mine ran 14.1 @ 104

[redshift1340]

yeah i noticed that too lol. that has to be a typo. it probably trapped 105mph

[twyztted]

i want one

[350Zed]

Civic vs. Cobalt???

LOL!!!  FWD = Fail!

[/discussion]

[JetStreet]

its skidpad and slalom records arent bad for a FWD, its just like a RWD car wiith uh... FWD

[mtooshort20]

LOL funny how stock for stock, the cobalt ss turbo ties or beats the 350z....

so actually, it doesnt fail, it passes with a B+...points off for interior design lol

But the Cruze is coming out to replace the Cobalt and interior design will be well addressed....just hope the performance carries over

[350Zed]

Spoken like a true ricer. Bravo.

[cmiller8006]

thats why the new turbo balt runs the same quarter mile stock as a 350z. with just a tune exhaust and drag radials were running 12.9

[350Zed]

1. Your bench/mag-racing is cute. It shows your ignorance of real-world driving experience.

2. Any Cobalt is embarrasing to drive, no matter how quick.

3. Spinning your front tires is very, very lame.

[abm89]

Mazdaspeed 3 is fun. You should try it.

[cmiller8006]

Ok then how about the nurburgring track times cobalt ss/tc 8.22, 08 nizzan 350z 8.26, then you have the mugen si 8.47.

[350Zed]

@cmiller8006: Source?

[cmiller8006]

go to the nurburgring germany home page got its own website

[Chick6517]

Wow everyone this is amazing! I absolutely loved it! The video was clear and very interesting! It was awesome! :)

[igotwhips]

Holy crap 115 mph in the 1/4 mile. I'm going to go buy one right now. The 2009 mustang gt only does 104mph.

[mtooshort20]

lol its a typo...its supposed to be 103mph, but its a good idea to take the cobalt over the mustang...u wont have to worry about replacing the rear end every 15,000 miles and the 2900lb Cobalt SS is faster than the 3900lb mustang gt. its also waaay more fuel efficient and more reliable. Every mustang owner i have talked to says that although they like their car, they are under the hood or under the car just as much as they are driving it lol. But the Cobalt is fast through the 1/4 mile too.

[JetStreet]

I see lots of Cobalt haters in this vids comments.

[lovecars890]

i like this car best is fast 0-60 5.8 quater mile of 14sec, braking is just amazing and the skidpad is wonderful!!! And the price is really good
