new cobalt ss , ms3's killer ???

[CHICO2003]

I'm about to make it even more civil... Saw one the other day at a local dealership. Silver, tinted, no wing... actually looked halfway decent. I looked inside and, though the seats look great, I doubt I could live with that classic GM interior... but for $16k (only has 8900 miles on it too!) it's one hell of a deal.

wait...what model of the cobalt did you see, chico?

ya, 16k on 9k miles suggests that new will be very affordable! =D

This should be an easy one...

The 06 SS/SC weighed in at 2991, I would be willing to bet money the new one will come in near that weight or even a tad over.

I weighed my mazdaspeed 3 at the track, with 3/4 tank of fuel, nothing taken out at all. It came in at 3130.

And as far as the modability of the ECO turbo...

Look at the GXP boards, people with intake, exhaust, and and upgraded i/c are putting down 220's on a dynojet. I have read that the BSR flash/tune is good for 30whp.

I think our MS3's liking to mods will overcome the Cobalts weight advantage...Biggest advantage to the Cobalt will be the 5 speed and not losing power on the top end resulting in short shifting.

At sema GM already announced a stage 2 kit that puts the GXP at 300hp.

the supercharged cobalts are selling cheap because they are trying to get them off the lot... makes sense with the new faster turbo version right around the corner.



And that stage 2 is probably crank hp and the price of that is probably more than what it takes for us to get the same hp if not close to double the gains...with just intake ms3 puts down 250 whp average which is a 300 dollar mod.
