My cobalt!!

07 SS/SC · February 29th, 2008, 5:13 AM

Being new here I figured I would post up some pics of my car. I shoot with a Nikon d40 and I am still getting used to it so I am not too great with it just yet.

The car is a 2007 Cobalt SS/SC. My mods include GM stage 2, 2.9 SC pulley, modified stock intake, ZZP midlength header, 3" Catless downpipe, GMPP cat-back. Also, the car is getting lowered in early April when the weather permits and many more modifications are soon to come.

Enough talking here is the car!

Very clean, awesome shots. When I used to go down the Camp Pendleton in Ca. there was a guy my friend was in unit with, had one the exact same model. Always liked the Cobalts, pretty much the only GM car I like images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Do you do any track time with it?

Keep it clean, any other plans? images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

As long as you're not Elmo then you'll be ok. images/smilies/wink.gif

Sweet ride though. Is it more blue or purple, as one of those chameleon paint thingys?

Nice shots and a nice colour. images/smilies/welcome.gif

Thanks! I have taken it to the local 1/4 mile track but they did not have the clocks on the day I was there, if (and that is a big IF) I can get traction, the car should go mid 13's the way it sits but I would expect to see a high 13 because traction is a problem. Within the next 2 weeks I should have the windows lightly tinted and on April 4 the car is getting lowered at a huge cobalt meet held at a local chevy dealership. After I get that out of the way I may get some wheels but that is still up in the air. As for future performance mods I am not sure if I will do any more. My car is currently still under a 100,000 mile warrenty with the modifications it has done and that is a nice feeling.

Thanks, the paint is very odd to say the least. The car looks very very blue in some night pictures depending on the lighting and in other lighting you can see it looks very purple. During the day it is a very nice bright blue with only a hint of purple to it. So I guess it does have a sort of chameleon effect to it.

Thank you! The color was my second choice with white being the first but they did not make the supercharged cobalt in white images/smilies/smile.gif

Don't you know the SRT-4 is faster... images/smilies/drums.gif

Good colour for that car, yellow and red are a bit too "look at me!".

haha of coruse I know that! I was in the market for a skittle (srt4) before I decided to go with the cobalt. I know the SRT4 has a much stronger aftermarket and starting point but I work for chevy and having a 100,000 mile warrenty is a nice feeling. I agree with yellow and red being a bit too "look at me" I really wanted white but as stated above GM was dumb and did not produce the supercharged model of the cobalt in white. My last car was black and while I do make most of my money detailing cars I wasnt wanting another black car to take care of so I decided on laser blue.

Welcome my supercharged brother.

Blayde · February 29th, 2008, 11:36 AM

Nice car

Hidden_Hunter · February 29th, 2008, 1:08 PM

It is FWD (I wish AWD) but I have learned to live with it. My next car will be AWD or RWD though, I miss my old RWD rides.

Wtf is a "modified stock intake"?

13's? Really? images/smilies/lol.gif

Well its when you modify the stock intake to function better. images/smilies/lol.gif

The stock intake is a FWI (The filter is in the fender) but it has quite a bit of restriction. So I bought a high flow filter and took off the bottom of my stock intake and mounted the new filter to it. Its the cheep way to do a FWI.

And yes, 13's all day.

I had a Cobalt sedan as a loaner while my Discovery was in the body shop and I was very surprised by the little car. After just a few days it completely won me over. I really wouldn't mind having one to drive everyday. I'm sure I would love one like yours even more.

Thanks for the kind words. For the money they really are not too bad of a car.

Wow i'm shocked, i always thought cobalts would be in the 15-16-17 second range. Sure fooled me.Dont get me wrong its a nice car, but you're talking about evo/STI territory, and that is basically a cavalier 2.0, and costing a hell of a lot less.

edit: Do you mean 1/8th mile or something? That would make a lot more sense.

Yeah I do. It's a Series II 3800 with a thrid gen eaton. While it might be old, it still has the power to get the job done at the stoplight. A few months ago I had a "wonderful" time rebuilding the snout on the eaton.

Stage II - 240hp + mods = fast. You know it's supercharged, right?
