Re: Cool Cobalt.

Love the hood.

For performance enthusiasts who want to race on the quarter-mile, Chevrolet offers a solution: the Cobalt Phase5 Drag Racer. The individual components of this front-wheel drive race car – many of them available from GM Performance Parts – have been designed for straightforward installation, enabling racers to customize their vehicle as budget and time allow.
The Cobalt Phase5 Drag Racer is powered by a 500-horsepower 2.2-liter Ecotec engine, and mated to a race-prepared Hydra-Matic 4T65-E automatic transmission. All of the modifications made to this drag race Cobalt are detailed in the GM Sport Compact Build Book, which is available through GM Performance Parts dealers or online at www.gmtunersource.com.

Vehicle Highlights

Unitized body and frame with roll cage
Turbo-charged 2.2L Ecotec I-4 engine producing more than 500 horsepower
Modified Hydra-Matic 4T65-E 4-speed automatic transmission
Modified Cobalt strut-type independent front suspension with aftermarket coil-over springs and adjustable struts
Modified Cobalt SS semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension with aftermarket ride height adjustment

Re: Cool Cobalt.

Hood scoop rules, along wtih the darkened lights and I also like the rims, I just dont like how the fender flair aint molded into the whole side of the car.

Re: Cool Cobalt.

Maybe its just me, but those fender flares remind me of the Chevy Monza.

Re: Cool Cobalt.

Would throw the rice flag if it didn't have the performance to back it up. Either way, I'm not a fan of the fenders (they aren't really flares if the whole fender sticks out like that).
The hood scoop is decent, I like the headlights, and the rear needs a smaller exhaust tip. I can't get past the fenders though, just not nice.

JMHO though, everyone's entitled.
