nice car, I hear those are surprisingly quick and handle a lot better than most would expect from GM.

My only question is how can you possibly drive a car with no center console armrest??? I wouldn't know what to do with my right arm when not shifting, seriously.

 

Hold onto the wheel? lol; I'm pretty gangly, and there is nothing more annoying than bumping an armrest with my elbow when shifting or trying to hold my arm in some unnatural position to avoid banging it. I absolutely hate cars that do that to me. This is a city car so I'm always shifting anyway.

 

Turbo or Supercharger?

He came from an RS, he must be used to it by now.

 

congrats on the new purchase but why get rid of your evo for that? i can understand just for a daily driver but for your regular car wow. hey if you like that then thats all that matters

 

turbo.

they're nice man. i like them definitely get a tune first and you'll see about 280hp and 320+ tq

 

gross

 

They are, I got a chance to instruct someone with one on the track, so I got to drive it. Not as quick as an Evo, but certainly a great little FWD car.

And +1 on the "hold the steering wheel" for what to do with our right arm. I HATE the extended center console armrest on the STi, thank God it collapses.

 

so far this is the fastest front drive around nurburing, (the turbo charged one) the thing handles like a little go kart. as much as i hate to admit it performance wise this is the best car you can get for the money.... but i would never buy it because its a chevy.... grrr

 

i hope you didn't pay over $15K for it.

 

How is it for a DD?

I went with the RA for my DD. The Cobalt's are okay, quick little cars, but not what I was looking for at the time. I'd buy it over the Civic Si any day! I hope you got the LSD, for some odd reason Chevy made it an OPTION. WTF?!?!

Black looks good, though for the Cobalt I prefer yellow, I also prefer the big wing over the low profile one.

 

MazdaSpeed3 ftw I'd call this a close second place have fun with your new toy man.

 

know what as much as im not a fan of cobalts the new turbocharged ss is no joke , will eat a ra , and can run with a evo

 

speed3 is no joke either

 

what year is that ss? and is it the non charged ss? and if it is charged is it the super or turbo?

 

'09 Its the turbocharged they stopped makin the supercharged in 05 i think. If ever in doubt look at the wheels they are different (look at the yellow one someone posted earlier that is the supercharged). Also the turbo comes with Brembos, i wish the Ralliarts did
