Whats so special about the Chevy Cobalt.?
 

Only 205HP and 2991Pounds also its an american car. I love how companies can hype up a product that doesnt deserve any hype. I guess they are trying to compete with the SRT-4 Neon but the Neon looks like it has more upgrade potential. Is there some hype Iam not getting or does everyone like the commercials with the Cobalt hitting up the C6?

i just saw it on the chevy website. it's supercharged and it sucks. looks like a riced out cavalier. they should've turbocharged an aveo-lighter,more nimble,and turbo charged has better potential.

there is about to be the ss model. it will be something to hype about, I think :-\

Re:Whats so special about the Chevy Cobalt.?
 

It really is just hype. It's the first (real) attempt from Chevy to attack the "civic nation".
Yes it's supercharged, and it's like 2.2 liter or something, but only puts out 205 or something (and I'm sure that's at the flywheel). Not very impressive.
What is impressive is the look of the car, and if the motor turns out to be able to take large amounts of abuse, it could be a pretty good platform to wrench on. The weight and the low horse output (for being supercharged) are my only concerns. I can't remember the torque on it.

Everything these days I compare to honda. If a car comes out with 2.2 or 2.4 liter with a supercharger, I just ask myself what an H22 would put out with a supercharger. Compared to that does this new car impress you? Not in this case, but if the car looks good and the motor proves to be a 4 cylinder 350, or B16 (a.k.a. A good platform to add to) than it could be good. :-\

someone will produce some go-fast parts for it, and then it will get some attention. im sure.


(although, there are no go fast parts for the z24 so, i dont know)

you can buy a shift knob for the z24, that's all most ricers need.

that cobalt looks like crap

Re:Whats so special about the Chevy Cobalt.?
 

Simple people like Hondas. They look better and they are alot of routes you can go with them.

I was about to say the same thing. I guess the Colbalt is kinda like the Saturn Ion, SC'ed and a boat. Niether looks real appealing. I would take a srt-4 before both of them.
