High 13's, he wants high 14's.

Jeez :rolleyes:

2009 Cobalt SS is no slouch, either. Even comes with a mechanical LSD.

There are lots of roads to take you where you're going. All I know is...













I'll be the guy in the grey SUV with the chains and J-hooks to pull you out of the barrier when you're off the track :P

Any car guy worth his salt that doesn't order the LSD when it's given as an option for a car like that is a CHOWDERHEAD. Nuff said. I said it "comes with" because it's a no-brainer.

The first guy that pulls a one wheel peel o'fury with a 2009 Cobalt SS is getting laughed at by me. I don't care if he's faster, he's dumb enough to own a car without a very essential piece of equipment in it.

Sometimes Adam your comments are 100% on the money ;) I wonder why they even made it an option? Still for $26'000 with a LSD brembro brakes and that much hp it will sell. If only Ford brings out the real ST.

Closer to 27,000 (just a quibble) ... what surprises me is that it's just 2 litres ... 260/260 seems high to me somehow for a stock engine - I assumed at first it was the 2.4 ... wonder what that means at the wheels?

GM has always been good with turbos, Grand National GNX, typhoon..

One of the students here at work takes delivery of an '09 SS Turbo in October. Hopefully I can con him into a drive ;)
