![Watch This! BEFORE You buy a Chevy Cobalt SS [Turbo / Supercharged]](/img/tr.png)
I'm on my second SS/SC. The first one was silver and bought brand new in 2006. After 3 years I had to give it back to the bank after a job loss and a market crash. I originally bought it for around $22,000.
Fast forward to 2014, and I wanted my car back. I ended up finding one for $6000 and it was the laser blue metallic color. Sure it had 95,000 miles on it, but it was in fantastic shape and looked as good as it was brand new! I still got her today. She's my daily driver and I have also moved on to a Dodge Challenger SRT8. That guy is parked in my garage for the winter, but my baby blue is gonna rip the winter roads like we do every year. Awesome car. I can't wait to get a new paint job, carbon fiber hood, black rims and an updated stereo when I get the money. Don't let anyone fool you. The Cobalt SS/SC is capable of 12.5 seconds quarter mile. Trust me they can handle the road just fine.
I’m just as happy with my 08 Sport Model
Thanks for the great video! Was thinking of buying one.
I had one years ago and crashed it. Just recently bought another. In the process of fixing this one up. It's such a fun cheap car to customize and drive. I love them
I agree with your top 5 bro I love my 05 SS/SC for all the same reasons
Douglas Rausch recently got an 06 sc, fun car
Just bought my 06 ss sc ! Dope video
Awesome video Evan!!
Actually going to buy one today :)
Vex- do you like it? I'm wanting one it will be my first car
JackalopeGaming its pretty great im in love with it 😍
Vex- I can't find any in good condition in my area
I actually got mine today it’s black with red stripes and I’m in love with it I recommend getting one one I’m looking forward to moding
Looking at buying one, Thanks for the Info.
Thank you very much , for the vid. I drove one of these yesterday an automatic . Was considering buying the car. there was one issue , however a bumping noise in one of the wheels , which the fellow said he would have fixed , wasn't really sure what it was, a bearing possibly. The car did drive nicely though . Thanks again , cheers ☺️
Hoping to buy one this weekend!
Awesome vid I have a yellow ss supercharged stage 2 3' downpipe front to back with a b &m short throw
I have one of these and love it!!👌
Love the SC whine but I still love the whoosh of my SS/TC LNF thou! My other cobalt base model with a L61 will get an LSJ converted to turbo thou.
gosh that sound I love it
I had an '06, black with red interior. (didn't have the Recaro package and regretted missing out on that LSD) She was my first manual car as well. Over time, I got her the GM Stage 2 kit, AEM cold air intake, Vibrant headers, high-flow CAT, SLP CAT back exhaust (customized by installing an additional resonator to help with a bad oscillation), KYB front struts, and Exedy clutch and flywheel. I even had three sets of wheels/tires for street, track, and winter. By the time I traded her in, I was lining up a dual passthrough for the supercharger's heat exchanger, Quaife mechanical LSD, a low mounted heat exchanger expansion, and if I had some extra cash, a bigger supercharger.
It isn't every day that the manufacturer of a car comes out with not one, but three stage kits for your car. Provided you had them installed by a GM dealer, they were all covered under warranty. Not to mention that GM wrote a book on how you can get 300 HP out of the engine. Fun fact...there's a reason why Ariel put that motor in their Atom.
I honestly felt a sense of pride when I received compliments for how she looked and sounded. In the middle of the import tuner craze, I brought that Made In Ohio beauty to bare. Sure she had her flaws, but she was damn fun.
I miss that car.
Mines has 250k miles and she drives great the funnest car I've had it has smaller pulley bigger exhaust bigger injectors front mount intercooler ls4 throttle never been on a dyno tho hopefully this year I will be able I love my cobalt ss sc
Have too many things to love on my cobalt
It’s hella nice cobalt 😍😎
My favorite car!
This car looks incredibly clean, and having a clean car is having a great running car. Sounds obvious, but sometimes does hard. I want to get my hands on a 2006 2007 Cobalt LT or SS. I had a 1984 Pontiac Sunbird coupe in the early 1990s, and the only thing I replaced was the timing belt. GM does make some great cars.
I got a blue chevy cobalt lt coupe, stock, well....got new wheels & a new wing on it so far, plus a K&N air felter, & gonna do so much more to it, but have not gotten people to give me a thumbs up or say "love your car" to me.....yet.....
is your cobalt an 07? mine is and I want to change the wheels but I wanted to know the bolt pattern and stuff as I'm new to doing stuff to cars, any help? my cobalt is an LT coupe as well
I want one !
Upgrading from a ls to a ss soon 🥳
Just bought one today
im buying one in a week or 2 :)
Mine is still very alive... going through suspension components next and ac recharge.... then full paint
I just bought a 06 cobalt ss what mods do you suggest for power increase all that is done right now is springs rims excust and a k and n filter
Hey man thanks for the info I'm looking at buying a 2007 SS/SC and I've been trying to gather as much info as possible. I see you are from Ohio as well I just worry about the air conditioning not being the greatest cause it's hot here. However I'm going to look into underdriving all the pulleys on it of I get it.
DaGrumpz it certainly isn’t the greatest system out there, but it works just fine when you need it to.
My a.c is busted cuz the a.c condenser is broke. You dont need an a.c just have the roof open and the windows down
oh the whine of the supercharger sure is nice but the whoosh of the turbo is much better so my project L61 will be replaced with a LSJ-T!
Do they have a lot of torque steer on turns and straights?
What exhaust do you have?
This car is pretty light. You dont need 400 horsepower to have fun in this I bet. I'm thinking if you can add 50 horses and torque this car would be really fun and still reliable
505 enthusiast I did just that! Installed a zzp stage 3 kit. Car makes around 270 hp now. It’s very quick!
EMJ Media same
What kind of headlights are those? I want smokes headlights for my 07 SS and I love the look of yours
Hamel these are custom built using the stock headlight housing.
I have one myself. I have people take photos of my car too.
I have a yellow SS/SC and im freacking proud of it :))
And yes the LNF is more powerfull than the LSJ but the LSJ is WAAYYY more reliable!!!
110k and still going strong...original clutch still to but have a stage 3 under my bed waiting
@@shawnroddick7523 mines about to hit 200k. Original everything.
Matt Neal mine has 180k running strong
How long can I expect my 07 cobalt SS/SC to last ? It has 120 miles on it.
These vehicles are on the Delta platform including the Chevy HHR SS!
What exhaust do yoh have?
I have the ‘06 cobalt with the same back as that. Not an SS unfortunately, but I wanna throw a turbo on it.
You can turbo swap the 2.2 or the 2.4
I’m still having a hard time adjusting to my 06 SS SC. I love the supercharged & all but it just feels underwhelming. On the fence about modding it to get the most max potential out of it with the m62. The gains I see up to 260-280 whp seems like nothing. My last 2 cars was a 00 Mustang GT & an 01 Cobra. Not that fast but still was fun to drive. While with my SS it gets boring.
Fr33z3yb89 unless you turbo it your not going to get the most out of the car. Just the way it is with these cars.
Fr33z3yb89 I’m making about 270 with it right now and it’s very quick. Way more power than I need around town but it sure is fun. If you want to make the max amount of power out of the car though, a turbo swap is the way to go.
What number are the wheels of your car?
hey did you plasti dip your rims? was thinking about doing the same
swaygfx I did!
Do you still have the ss?
Turbo swap or bust :) ive had my sssc since 2009 for some reason I just can't bring myself to get rid of it.
cobaltss50 I’m considering turbo swapping in the future. I don’t drive it much anymore and it just sits in my garage haha. But have contemplated moving on to something more practical. I’m much like you though, I don’t think I could bring myself to do it!
No reason to turbo it unless your going for 400 plus hp. Theres a guy who's making 349 hp on stock m62 supercharger.
@@mattneal4309 that's not ideal, and is more work and money than just swapping it. The turbo making the same hp would be safer and more reliable than over spinning a supercharger....and probably not a stock m62. $1700 turbo kit>thousands more than that for more money and less torque more than likely.
The supercharged one is slower....
Funny, I just beat a 2016 Subaru sti 2 weeks ago lol. I'm full exhaust, 3inch pulley and cai. I've beat cars you definitely wouldnt think I could beat....rx7, SRT4, 60's chevelle, integra, a few BRZ's and some a few other forgettables.
The best would be an 07 g85 cobalt ss with a turbo swap.....
I'm stepping down to a 2.8 pulley w/60# injectors, dual pass endplate, phelonic spacer in a month or so, maybe sooner. Need that for summer lol.
since the LSJ is mpfi it easier to turbo so DO IT!!!
Que tipo de AMORTIGUADORES traes en tu carro
No se si alguien me pueda alludar estoy teniendo un problema con mi cobalt ss supercharged me esta saliendo un codigo que engine power reduced y se me tranca el motor me tiene loco lla no se que pueda ser
except replacing the clutch :')
Jog definitely agree with you on that
Definitely. The clutch is a pain in the ass. Just put a Clutch Masters 4-puck in mine.
what headlights are these?
Custom made retrofits built by my friends and I.
Are these cars reliable at all? I'm looking at buying one with 227 000k (yes kilometers not miles)
Kohl Guenette super reliable! Only major issue with this engine is the timing chain tensioner. Needs replaced if it never has been. The original was very weak in its design.
How is the reliability as you pile the miles on?
505 enthusiast easily one of the most reliable cars that I know of. I could easily see the LSJ engine reaching a million miles or more as long as you keep up with maintenance. Many people have way more miles on theirs than I do and they will tell you all day long about how it still runs and drives like it just came off the assembly line.
I just recently bought an 08 lt 2.2 non turbo/sc. I've got about 124k on it and it runs beautifully. Once I have it paid off, I'm looking to throw a turbo on her and other basic mods. These cars are fun as hell to drive, and that's just from a standard coupe perspective. I can't wait to upgrade the suspension and feel like I'm riding in a go cart again. Been a long time since I've had a low Rider/tuner.
Any suggestions on exhaust work from cat back, so not to void warranty, that will not have me sounding like a damn Civic?
2008 SS/TC 110K original clutch and tuned since 50k still going strong have stage 3 clutch available if needed lol
There was never a next one :(
Was that cobalt in an accident???
Do u still have it?
Kondrez Brown Still have it, still love it!
Thats funny. I usually get the finger while driving mine
"Breaking necks" pfft... I have one but that's a like bit extreme.
Lol seriously, im sure it broke other 4banger enthusiasts necks but other groups not so much
I have a cobalt LS and I’m modding the fuck out of it but a lot of people talk shit because it’s just an “LS” 😕 the reason I don’t like the car community anymore
Uriel Presents unfortunately that’s the problem with many people in this world today. Honestly, I lot of them do it out of jealousy and/or pride. They may see your car and be jealous that you were able to turn something like a cobalt, a cheap gm econo car into something cool. Or they like to justify their own purchases. They talk shit about your car to boost their pride and ego and to justify what they did instead. Keep doing what makes you happy and what you think is cool. Who cares what kind of car it is, be proud of the time, money and effort you put into it to make it something different and something special to you. Find more people who think the same way as that in the car scene. I promise they are out there.
j body ftw
Nice Cobalt. Here's mine: ua-cam.com/video/He8nabIT4zg/v-deo.html
Put a ZFR6758 on since then so I should be right around 400ish.
Koreans made this car, first off. Chevy now looks to them since is cost way less to employ, This is why America is a consumer market and not a builder, where is you job? Thank that the fat cats for sending it over seas! If you moved there you can expect 12 shifts 7 days a week and zero appreciation. Thanks Dump I mean....
Lordstown ohio. Just like Cavalier, cobalt and cruze. Made by Ohio drug addicts and hard workers pablo
