what do you all think of this car? i figure getting it to 250 wouldn't be too hard. it is a chevy tho. i dunno.

 

i agree. im not sure either. i think chevy is jumpin' on the bandwagon a lil late though, but im sure theyll make a lil money.

 

it is Friggin Supercharged! the potential to upgrade is phenominal. imagine it'spotential

 

they claim it will be the fastest fwd car on the market, maybe they forgot about dodge?

 

i am thinkin that the SS Coupe has 202 hp. who knows what he ground hp is. but i think with the right bolt ons and fuel tweeks this sucker could kick some ***.

 

G/F just picked up a Saturn Redline. Its the same car as the SS with different bodywork. It's a shade faster than her chipped VW GTI 1.8T. It's strong point is handling. Almost zero body roll and they're coming out with LSD this spring. THe only problem they have right now is that there is absolutly no aftermarket support.

 

I think that the cobalt is using the ecotec motor which is the same block that Lisa Kubo ran last year when she was with Saturn...

 

yeah it's an ECOTEC 2.0 DOHC 4 cyl inline @ 202hp. only the ss coupe has the supercharger. the lower models have the 2.2L ECOTEC DOHC @ 145hp.

 

oh man i thought it was rwd, i really did, i led myself to believe they built this with rwd so it will be somethign similar to the 240sx or somethign, ahhhh ****, i was SOOO excited to see this thing, oh well guess its just a 2 door srt4 thats superchargered

 

yea there's only one RWD chevy car at the moment. Too bad though. They shoulda put a 6 cyl and a supercharge that would be even better. Come on... why use Ecotec on a 4cyl??

 

Chevy does have "staged" upgrages in the works for this car a la the Mopar upgrades from Dodge for the SRT-4. Give it a year and there'll be lots of stuff for this car.

 

planning on driving one this weekend. been talkin about it with the guys here at work.

 

Just a heads up, the dealer we bought our Redline from put 87 octane in. They made a big point of telling us that it will run on the cheap stuff. Consequently, both the car we test drove and the car we bought were down on power untill we were able to run a couple of tanks of premium through.

Only real problem they have is a bad case of wheel hop.

 

i hear ya. I am hoping to push this car on the freeway. they have to let me do that at least. i wanna hear the blower whine!
