I like it, would be a great Evo/WRX fighter.
Since it's a 4-cylinder, maybe Z04 would work? Just throwin' out an idea.

 

Maybe, if it wasn't FWD.

 

Chevy puts "SS" on many different models - no reason for them not to put "Z06" on more than one model too.

(though I personally don't like the idea)

 

That's totally different IMO. SS is "super-sport".....like "rally-sport" or "grand-sport" or "special edition".....all these common acronyms that show up on the sides of lots of cars out there. But Z06 isn't just an "appearance/performance" package.....whether it's the name of the car or just the RPO code that designates the car, it can't be shared with another car in the line-up (and especially not with a pip-squeak like the Cobalt! ). A Z28 is a Camaro, no question about it. A Z06 is a 'Vette, no question there either. Slap "SS" on the car, sure, 'cause that's just a trim package, and/or a performance package, but it doesn't define the car like Z28 or Z06 would.

 

You could get the LS6 in a chevelle who cares if something is called zo6. Corvette isnt some sacred artifact. If I had a corvette i would spray some flat black over it and beat the hell out of it. its built to drive.

 

maybe a z24 or z26 like the cavaleir and beretta

 

Looks like it'd need new fenders, doors, and rear quarter panels for this version. It looks like a very expensive variation. Yat, making all models with the same sheetmetal would again reduce it's unique-ness.

Looks good, but I don't feel it would be very practical.

 

I agree with you. I did a poor job of conveying the sarcasm that I was feeling when I wrote that post.

Bottom line for me....I hope Chevy doesn't do that, but it wouldn't surprise me much if they did.

 

They've disgraced other names and designations, why not Z06 too??

 

God NO!!! In GM's ______ years (<--someone please fill in the blank, 'cause I have no idea how many years GM has actually been in business!) they finally built a car better than ANY car they've ever built before, that's actually upto (or dare I say, beyond? ) world standards (performance, quality, etc.) and you want them to stick this name on any old 4-banger in their fleet!?!?!??!?!?? Not trying to bash the new Cobalt, 'cause it sounds like it's supposed to be quite a lot better than its predecessor (the Cavalier) but it's not a Z06.

 

It's a non-GM photochop... All this excitement without cause....

 

I guess most didn't realize this "Z06 cobalt" is just a photoshop someone did to see what a Cobalt would look like with some C6 Z06 styling

 

Did you know the ZL1 existed before the 4 th gen? someone might call that a disgrace. I think the GTO is a disgrace because a real GTO would have been made a performance package on a cheap car allready produced. just like the real ones. The current impala sucks and is a disgrace also What happened to the peformance like the 409 had?

 

The current S/C 3800 Impala is faster than the old 409 Impalas and LT1 Impala SS, so in a way the Impala performance is stronger than ever.


Z22 was a Canadian RPO for striped Cavalier with Z22 stickers

 

to be a smart *** here i want them to make a Z28 cobalt now. just because i see how big of a deal people make off of a stupid name. its just a letter and some numbers people. i dont see how any retro named cars disgrace the cars of the past with the same name. times change. cars need to also.
