Really how simple? Any way look for the big stupid wing on the Balts, the supercharged version is the only one to get that treatment. A guy I work with has a Balt that ran a 12.8 with a 75 shot. There not bad but from everything I've read,the Stock motor doesn't hold to mods as well as other performance cars in that price range.

The stock motors in the Cobalt SS/SC are pretty much bullet proof like the Terminators. I believe the only weak link is the rods, and for a few hundred dollars that can be fixed.

I wouldn't mind one as a daily driver they get pretty good mileage too don't they? But I would be concerned about them in the long run, my gf has a cavalier and it has not aged well

Yea thats sounds right. I've heard the rods are week and pistons may give some issues also.

If you want to get the girls, work on your pecs, not your ride. Chics dig muscles more than muscle cars.

those kids in cobalt **** me off thinking their car is tough but when you try to mess with them some dont want to. One kid in my town probly around 22 has one thats supercharged. i was on my way to tire depot for an alignment when i sped past one doing only like 50 in a 40. the kid pulls in my lane so i slow down alittle then so does he. I put my blinker on to turn into tire depot when i hear the b/v hiss and he flew past me....True ricer move.....I saw him later that day with my brother in law we tried to race in his titan...and i was surprised that his truck kept up pretty good for the short trip to the light.
