Will be selling the mustang asap to get a new car all squared away before school. Getting winter tires on steelies as well for the balt.
cobalt SS is a great car man, i would definitely get one. my buddy has the SC model, has close to 350hp at the tires at 17-18lbs of boost,runs 12s. the only problem he has had with that much power is the axles, he broke one at the track last time we went, they can be upgraded with $$$ tho. another buddy of mine has the saturn ion redline, same engine and blower, comes stock with ricaro seats, he has an intake, downpipe and a muffler and ran 14.2
and not to mention they get great gas milage, and technically you still wont be a ricer

if you do sell it, part it out first.

I thought about parting it out. I have my stock shocks/struts not springs, gauge cluster, front bumper but not rims. Right now, I offered my car and 6k on that one I listed. They were asking 12,9. I'll take the gauge cluster out, sub out, and idk what else.

box_2690, sorry I didn't get back with you about the bumper. I think I figured out why it looked different tho. I believe it was installed incorrectly. Doesn't matter now tho since I have a new bumper. Thanks for the help anyways.

I paid $225 shipped for the gauge cluster. I'll do $215 shipped. Perfect working shape. I actually just took it out and started putting my car back to stock. Unmated the tuner, took the sub out, re-put together the trunk. I'll be selling some chrome acorn lugnuts, bullitt pedals, the tuner, the gauge cluster, and some other odds and ends soon. Going to the dealership tomorrow to hopefully put a deposit on the car pending a test drive. Titles at the bank so I can't get it tomorrow so if I put a deposit on it I'll be picking it up this week
