Cobalt SS attack!

[Boosted_GR33K]

So I was driving with my friend Bobbie Jo (you wanna know how I know shes white? ) and I see this yellow cobalt SS weaving in and out of traffic like he's doing a time attack or something. So, I figure 'wait till he gets up here....' We are cruisin along at about 35-40 when he catches up and I go hammer down. Next thing I know, all I hear is supercharger and 4cyl exhaust and he's puttin cars on me!

Bobbie Jo - So uhm....how does your butthole feel right now?
Me: .......
Bobbie Jo: Feelin a little reamed out are we? Little smaller in the world?
Me: Im in a 2 ton paper weight with a turbo....hes in a toy car with a supercharger...
Bobbie Jo: Is that your final answer for the excuse question?
Ben: grrrrr.....

Light ahead turns red. 'EXCELLENT! 4HI TIME!' So, I ramp up 10ishPSI and the light goes green and BAMB 2ish cars on him and pullin. Then, a bus full of kittens pulls out so I let out of it and brake with him flying by still on it. Those little cobalt SSs mean business these days.... >.> After that, bobbie jo shut her mouth....

Tune your $#It. Cobalt SS's aren't that fast, especially the SC'ed ones (my wife used to have one).

Re: Cobalt SS attack!

You gotta be careful on some of the Cobalt SS' around here. ZZPerformance.com out of Grand Rapids is known for making them really damn fast. Their shop car just ran a 10.32 with a Bullseye Power S259 Billet this summer at 26# of boost on a tune and injectors.

Re: Cobalt SS attack!

I used to have a 2008 Cobalt SS Turbo. Was tuned running about 22psi, 3" catless dp, and injen charge pipes. probably would have dynoed close to 300whp and 320wtq (remember fwd has less drivetrain loss). Weighing in around 2900lbs it was fast. Made a lot of V8's cry. BUT I couldn't get traction to save my ass. I used my Droid to do a few 1/4 mile runs to compare it to the typhoon. I pulled about .6 G's from a stop with the Cobalt, the Typhoon which is mostly stock pulled a little over a 1 G. 1/8mile times were about the same, but that Cobalt would easily take it in the 1/4. I would have hated to see a 40mph roll for the typhoon So if you want to stand a chance go from a stop, or get a bigger turbo

Re: Cobalt SS attack!

Thats the turbo SS. GMPP had lots going for it when they where developing for the Ecotech stuff. You can get lots from the dealer for the Turbo ones, as for the SC not so much. Still a wicked ride

Re: Cobalt SS attack!

Yup, that's one of the reasons why I love mine. For a run of the mill FWD econo-box, this car has one of the best stock suspensions I've ever seen. Makes sense too, Mark Stielow had a hand in it's design (along with it's sister the ION Redline). Everyone thinks its just a new body on the same old CRAPalier architecture.

@qbnkiller - I'm going to have to check that website/company out. Much appreciated for the heads up!

Re: Cobalt SS attack!

I'm tellin ya...the little turbo ecotechs are quick! The HHR-SS is a fun to drive! There's a stage1 kit available from GMPP that is a pretty common mod. Plus these things get close to 30 mpg (premium). :tup:
