I bought it from one in Dickinson North Dakota. Charbonneau Motors. got up at 7 am on a weekend to go drive there and get it, bring it back, then go to a track meet in the shinny new car. And the color is amazing, not a single blue SS in town like it.

I am going to get a color matched AEM Cold Air intake in about a month, once i have a solid income. soon after i will get GM stage 2, and eventually full exhaust, not sure if im going to go catback then the rest, or the other way around.

I plan to try to get the thing to around 275whp atleast, by the time my brother buys it from me and I buy something else in a few years.

I am very happy with it, the thing gets up and goes. Already beat a 2004 grand prix

haha and showed up some local ricers i have had my eye on for a while. Ill keep you updated on the mod status.

EDIT: Gotta love the dead grass and dead trees in goddamn MID APRIL... fuck north dakota.

Congrats on the new purchase...

Glad you actually own a SC'd SS. I see a lot of posers around here acting like their non SC'd SS is actually boosted. Personally, a non SC'd SS is just pointless in my eyes. If Chevy is going to be selling the SS name, atleast give it some nuggets to go with the badge (like your Cobalt).

Here's your sign...

haha beat me to the post. But yes, thats what i have planned. I havent seen anyone around here with SS kits on non SC'd cobalts. Not yet anyways, but im sure we will get some soon, we have tons of retards up here. Just saw a festiva with a wing on TOP today at best buy. I parked way the hell away from him, just in case it exploded.

I love the car, draws some looks around here. just...cant...stop...BOOSTING... gas mileage be damned, i need that whine

its not nearly as loud as Taylor's redline, as i dont have an intake to free that baby up. But my exhaust is stock and sounds great, and is louder than his that he has on there. I would much rather have that whine though.

OH SHIT!
its a Cobalt SS.....
And its Blue....

That looks like my car and my wifes car had a kid.....

Good luck getting the Stage 2 bro. Ive been barking up that tree for over a year now.
GM are a bunch of lying sacks of shit. I'll never buy another GM again cause of this. They promise you a cheep stage upgrade and no problems to the waranty.

Turns out the minimum to stage it is about 2 grand after service charge and it partially voids the warranty anyway.
Ive been to 9 different delears over the last year and spoken to over 20 service managers in 5 different cities.
Same answer all around. Thats why my LSJ is still bone stock.

MZR_47 · 04-20-2008, 11:42 PM

holy fuck. thats ridiculous. i know of several vehicles that have got stage 2 for about $700 all said and done i think. and my warranty is expired in 2 months anyways

-Jayson- · 04-21-2008, 01:06 AM

musashi please dont scare him with your rehtoric...

I made my own GM stage kit. I got injectors, pulley, belt, for 250 bucks and my buddy with HP tuners flashed the stage 2 program. Hes going to custom tune it this summer for me.

Stage 2 if installed by a dealer wont void your warranty at all. No matter what the dealer says they cant deny warranty work. GM themselves clearly states if done this way it wont void your warranty.

Stage 2 from GMparts direct is like 600 bucks and dealershouldnt charge more than 150 bucks to install it. They can only charge was GM tells them to charge. If they try to charge more or less, just argue with them. Theyd rather make little money than no money.

A further more, GM stage 2 kits are very reliable. I have over 20K hard miles on my car with 2.9 pulley, stage 2 tune, high flow filter, trans mounts, engine brace. I havent had a single problem other than some fouled plugs.

Check out the Harrop TVS 1320 blower. Its a direct bolt on blower replacement and the first cars to get it so far are dynoing around 280WHP, not bad for 2300 bucks with room to improve. You will likely see around 325-350WHP with this blower and bolt ons.
