Leave the wing. Gives it character.

My friend Kaleb bought a Cobalt LS.. told him to get an SS... oh well. Looks good, I really like those cars

I wouldn't want my SS to be confused with a ****** LS.

I almost got suckered into the same 0% financing deal you did but they wouldn't rebate the car any further than the sticker price. I decided I've already got one sport compact and I don't need another.

what a waste of a 5 year 20k finance.. It's basically a cavalier with a wing and a weak 4 cylander. Shoulda at least got the SS for that price.

Huh? I thought this was the Cobalt SS? Or am I tired/misreading?

One of the SRT-4 guys the other night was telling me about the new Caliber SRT-4... supposed to have a mini-fridge for keeping drinks cool, and comes base with the stage 3 SRT-4 package. Sounds pretty pimp... not my style, but those cars run strong.

I'm pretty sure the LSD and Recaros are SS Supercharged options only.

Caliber SRT-4's, while *fast* are still butt ------- ugly. The one good way to screw up a car is to try and make it look like too many things at once.

It is the SS Supercharged, dipshit. Chevy has a regular SS option with no Supercharger, and this is not to be confused with that. The regular SS has a smaller, more ****** like wing. Considering the big ricer wing sets this model apart from the other ****** models, I think it's acceptable.

And as far as weak 4 "cylander" goes...

It's not as impressive as Honda's 06 Si making ~200hp with 2 liters N/A, but it does make up for it with some torque. Plus to have a supercharger from the factory is more fun IMO than a regular N/A motor. I also assure you that it's not just a cavalier with a wing. I've ridden in and driven plenty of cavaliers and they are the bane of my existance. I hate them.

However this is much different, the interior was very comfortable (recaro seats) and easy to look at (higher quality materials + autometer boost gauge) and the layout generally doesn't suck nearly as much as a cavalier. Plus with all the high quality parts (pirelli tires, autometer boost gauge, recaro seats, lightweight flywheel, lsd, etc) Chevy installed on it...it's really a nice car right off the lot.

Do some research before you hate on ----, this isn't ------- Honda-Tech.
