haha i have to disagree. in a non shit talking way. with little mods cars they're bad as hell, they come out of the factory 260hp/260tq. i've seen em run high 13's out of the factory. but i'm bias i drive a v8 and a turbo 4 cyl lol

Cobalt 2.0 Performance

scroll down to the bottom if you wanna see what you can do with a ss/sc and a basic socket set

Cobalt 2.0 Performance

what hahn does with a ss/sc LOL. step 1 was to replace the sc with a tc LOL.

I would have to look them up but thier is a kit to bolt a turbo right up to the ss/sc's and make it a twin charged setup. there is one guy I have heard of with that setup pushing 400+ to the wheels on stock internals

Just curious, if its running a vortech then I'm guessing its not the SS/SC? Maybe an n/a SS? I was also slightly unaware vortech made a kit for those.

My room mate has an '09 SS turbo car (SS/TC). I'm a pretty hardcore V8/RWD when it comes to spending my own money on sports cars, but by the seat-of-the-pants test my room mate's Cobalt is something to be taken very seriously at both the strip and the auto-x course. He's pushing 30psi peak (22psi hold, leaky BOV seal) with ONLY a tune and exhaust (no internals, injectors, not even an intake). Car puts down 330-350whp and burns through the first 4 gears, with drag slicks he'd probably be looking in the high-11s on the strip.

I used to drive an '06 Cobalt LT auto. For a 2.2L N/A motor it had TORQUE unlike any other 4-banger I have driven. Thing had radio controls on the steering wheel, a huge trunk for its size, and in my opinion has the best suspension of any FWD 4-cylinder economy car by a mile. If I had to get another FWD 4-cylinder car for under $10,000, I would only buy a Cobalt.

Some guys have put Vortech centrifugals on their car, but there is no aftermarket kit that I'm aware of (read: fabrication required). The guys that have done it report no real performance gain over the stock Eaton, they say it lags like a turbo and robs power like a blower. Basically, it's a lot of money for nothing.

Yea i completely agree with you, those ss/tc cobalts don't need to be taken lightly, there are a couple rollin around town an they're quick, i'd def like to see one on slicks

How about an '06 Cobalt SS with a supercharger AND a turbocharger (ZZP kit) on slicks?

Burning through 1st and 2nd on slicks to run 11.09@132mph is pretty impressive for a FWD 4-banger (they say it puts down 319hp and is capable of more). There's also an SMG twincharging kit being developed. I don't know of any confirmed power numbers for the SMG kit (they are running it at 7psi to develop a street tune before turning up the power), but they estimate it will be capable of 400+hp.

SMG prototype thread (worth a quick read, they are remote mounting the turbo at the rear of the car):

08+ are turbo'ed. 260 hp, 260 ft-lb torque, 5.8 0-60 (i think that's correct)
The others are supercharged and have 205 hp 200 ft-lb.

Both of them can easily be built. The Ecotec's are great 4 cylinder motors to build. Alot of drag racing organizations are putting limitations on them because the poor little Jap motors are having trouble holding their ground.

+1 for the USA.
