Hey guys, the SEMA Cobalts are on the front page at:

Neat.

It's nice to know that GM will be providing enthusiests with an upgraded blower......
I'm liking the widebody too.

 

Its fantastic that GM is backing the Cobalt like they should. The move to turbo would make it the small car to have and really grab attention. The Neon SRT-4 is no more also. Cobalt is an awesome ride and I was thinking of how much I love mine on the drive home from class a little bit ago. The widebody does look awesome.

 

Go little cobalt go lol. It's great having GM shortly offering stage 1 and 2 upgrades and now this... Backed with a successful showing in the Rolex sports car series with the SS's I hope this little car will take off. All i know is quite a few SS"s and redlines in this area like picking on my little 94 GS-R winter beater.

 

Is there some hidden meaning behind this? Is there a stage 3 s/c swap on the way?

 

While those Cobalt pics are nice , GM is playing catch-up since most of those styling techniques were all the rage back in 1995 here in Southern California.

The whole Japanese-tuner look peaked in SoCal 10 years ago and nationally it peaked alongside the release of the 1st 'Fast and Furious' movie in 2001.

You know when a trend has run its course was when a national chain like Pep-Boys was selling 'Fast and the Furious' branded APC parts for the wannabe 'tuner crowd'.

Im not saying the aftermarket industry (SEMA) is going to fall off a cliff but that new trends and styles will be needed for strong growth over the next 10 years.

 

Well , the stg 3 rumor isnt going away ....and the GM "time of attack" concept is supporting a M-62 blower .

And before anyone discounts the seemingly small gain on the stg 1 and 2 kits , add the 15% for stg 1 and 18% to stg 2 on actual WHP figures on the car . The average SS is dynoing in stock form 210-220 wp and 185-190 WTQ . GM has got to be going off the stock underrated 205 hp figure with their 231 hp for stg 1 and 241 hp for stg 2 .

241 HP in a cobalt could actually be entertaining.

I drove one of the those equally designed Acura RSX's with the 250HP(?) Type-S dealy-o's.

and it was actually alot of fun... Like alot
