I'm impressed!
I really want to find out when GM will release the pricing on these...
I wonder how many of these will fail during the 100k mile powertrain warranty? From what I've read, the engine is stout, but I can just see our types flogging the crap out of these...

Oh my god. The Cobalt board is ablazed with people complaining that...
1.) You cant hear the blow-off valve
2.) Car didnt get a six speed.
3) LSD is an option and not standard. (Dont know if that is true, but i wouldnt mind it being standard)
4.) That it looks to much like the SS/SC
5.) The tires are making a lot of noise around the track
They are also critiquing Johnny Heinricy driving skills.

I've been pretty lukewarm to the car since its inception. I'll be the first to admit that I'm fairly impressed now. I'm not sure if the SS/SC had Brembo brakes, but those are a damn nice touch on any car, let alone one under $25k.

Or take a look at Audi S4/RS4, where they stuck a V8 into the space so tight that if I'm not mistaken, some accessories had to be moved from the front of the engine to the back. Replacing ANYTHING there is just major time, which is major $$$.
Take a look at this!

there actually not to bad.
i wasnt really a big fan of the old ss. If you ever driven the car it just doesn't feel fast it felt gutless. at the local track they seemed to run bad ets most low to mid 16's . im glade they went to a new motor but i still dont think this will be a killer car. to me the ss is a car you would want to buy and have fun commuting to work. I wouldn't want it for my weekend warrior though.
