I finally settled on a new car...

Ha ha, that too, but I was talking strictly looks. I am definately not impressed with the SC'd Cobalt, one of those would get roasted by the Talon.

A friend of mine with a '68 Pontiac Catalina with a built 400 got absolutely smoked by a supercharged Cobalt...

It really wouldn't surprise me. I think these things are engineered a tad bit better than the Cavaliers ever were. lol... I was reading earlier and I think mine has 175hp stock. I think weight might play a big part in it too though, because I was spinning from 1st to 2nd and even during 2nd to 3rd... It actually feels semi-powerful. lol... A built SS would actually be comparable to a FWD DSM I think...

Most honda's (if not all) have the 4 bolt pattern, so that'd be where a wheel search would start.

I actually did a full rebuild on a GM mystery engine which we figured out was, either that same engine or really close to the 2.4 in dat bad boy. It has DOHC 2 balance shafts pent compustion chambers (sound familiar), a sleeved aluminum block and a timing chain! thing would probably love boost

Is this an SS? I see that they made an SS and an SS Supercharged. This is what I was looking at for the numbers since I have always been curious about these cars.

Nah, mine is just an LS... Nothing special or fancy I guess... But I've been doing a little bit of research on these things and it's interesting how much different they are from the LT and SS models... So many differences that it makes it hard to find anything to fit it.

I think I might try and put an SS suspension on it, or find a nice aftermarket suspension. The SS suspension will drop it almost 3 inches from where it stands now and stiffen it up a whole lot more...

I'm also looking at possibly some 18 inch wheels that are a black 5 spoke with a polished lip... I know that is so overdone nowadays, but I think it will look good on a blue car... But I donno...

I am also gonna do some eyelids on it I think, just to make it look a tad bit aggressive on the front end... Maybe tint the windows up a bit... I think that'll be all I do to it then... Just a few things to make it look better and I'll still have the reliability of it for a daily driver...
