Re: limited-slip differential

Depends on what model Cobalt you have, if it's the SS/SC and you'd like to take a turn without setting your inside tire ablaze, then yeah, it's important.
If you have a stock LS it's the last thing you want to spend money on.

They cost anywhere between 1500-3000 US...not including the install.

The biggest mistake I made when I bought my ss/sc was not waiting to get the G85 package that come with the LSD and the recaro racing seats. Personally though, I'd get the G85 package when you get an ss/sc, then swap out the recaros for the standard leather seats that come in the ss/sc. The recaros arent exactly the most comfy things ever. However, the lsd is awesome.

Head to www.cobaltss.net for more info.

I like the stock seats with inserts better anyway. I already signed up for both cobaltss.net and .com

Good luck with getting an ss w/g85, hope you enjoy it if you get one.

Yeah I don't like how .com is arranged. I probably won't be able to get a new car until later in the year.
BTW, My SN on both .com and .net is MightyMouse.
