Im looking at buying an 06 cobalt ss, has a kn intake, magnaflow exhaust, and some cosmetic touch ups. Just wanted to see if there is anything to look out for as far as defects, etc....btw it 5spd

 

is it the $8500 one in npr?

 

no...which dealer is that at?

 

well it is the supercharged model.. i never liked the supercharger on those things because when modding you hit a wall at a little over 300hp with that supercharger. but over all not a bad car.. make sure it has the optional performance upgrades though.. more specifically the lsd.... that car has bad torque steer.....

 

^^thanks for the input, ill have to check that out

 

personally i would wait and find you the newer ones with the turbo instead of the supercharger.. it is a little snail but atleast there are some 330 plus whp ones running around with only adding a intercooler and turning the boost up.

 

my buddy has a stage 2 ss 06. doesnt have LSD. it runs ok and is fun to drive around. but yea I would wait for the turbo one. the no lift shift feature on those are pretty fun. if you end up buying the supercharged one def consider stage 2 at least. also the torque dampener.

 

Get an 08 or 09. The TC models are so easy and cheap to mod. Not to mention they put out monster torque. Stock they put down 250+WHP and 250+FTLbs. And stock there are people running 13.6's in the 1/4. Fastest I got mine was 13.71 in San antonio, and mine is 99% stock. Just got a muffler delete and K&N drop in.

 

i havent had a chance to drive the new ones but I heard the no lift shift is pretty fun. would be very useful at the track

 

NLS is fun, shoots a little flame out back too (-=
