For some reason , parts for the yet to even be announced SS are coming up now in GM dealer parts computers little by little . Guess that confirms that one .

been waiting for this. maybe ill get one

 

Aww.. Now I have the slow kind of cobalt.

 

The only question to this, will it go the way of SRT-4? Will the owners be so happy at a turbo, that they instantly become "drift-pros" and ricers?

 

Will this be priced about the same as the current supercharged Cobalt?

 

If you want to make power than turbo is the way to go. If I wanted to drift, I personally would rather have a NA or roots car, fwiw

 

What do they call item 126? In the exploded engine block pic...

[off topic]

 

Its the lower portion of the block . The hole its pointing at is where the starter bolts up , but its reffering to the lower engine block .

 

Turbos can make more power down low than NA - just look at the dyno plot for the LNF.

FWIW, I'd worry more about which wheels are being driven if drifting were my thing

 

I was thinking the same thing. Has drifting in reverse caught on yet?

 

I agree turbos make power. But I think you would find the NA motor or roots car would be easier to drift because the power delivery would be more predictable and linear.

In Formula D the cars are required to be RWD anyway... I was referring to the comment that ricers and drifters would automatically be attracted to the turbo Cobalt, which was stated in a way that implied that turbos were in effect 'guilty by association'.

 

Why has this thread gone so long without anyone mentioning the Solstice/Sky?

 

Yea. Why haven't Solstice taken GTO's place in drifting?

 

Not enough power?

 

Um, they have... Google "rhys millen solstice"
