I walked into a GM Dealership today to bs with them about the Cobalt SS. Right away everyone started getting hyped, they couldn’t wait to pop the hood and show me the supercharger…so when they popped the hood and opened it…i raised my eyebrows and dropped my mouth…

why is a Supercharger on a 2.0 L Engine? :down:

He went on to tell me that there were two cobalt ss engines…

a 2.4 L N/A Engine
and a 2.0 L Supercharged Engine.

I started to laugh :tool:

GM can’t even put a Supercharger on the bigger engine?

Engineers are retarded…I feel bad for the Cobalt SS now more than ever

boost is frequently applied to smaller displacement engines…

toyota mr2? 2.0 turbo, 2.2 n/a

plus, the 2.4 wasn’t available when the SS came out. I think they’re phasing out the 2.0 supercharged for the 2.4 to reduce costs.

it’s a supercharger so it can’t add THAT much boost. it’d blow the engine, would it not?

thanks for additional info shaler, i did not know they were phasing out the 2.0. i can see this car dying quickly. what about the Saturn Redline?

4

Just get a 3.8 Supercharged instead :slight_smile:

5

the “phasing out” thing is just something i read somewhere… i’d look it up.

as for the saturn redline, i don’t think the Ion has much time left… it’s being replaced in a year or so. the build quality is abysmal… everything rattles, the one i drove had VISIBLE stripped screwheads, et cetera…

I like scions advertising, They turned up the gayness x 30. compared to Vw advertising :eek:

:beer:

i wish i could!

You have no idea what you’re talking about, huh? The 2.0L is more stout than the 2.4L from everything that I’ve read. Granted, it should’ve had a turbo on it rather than a S/C. There are two versions of the SS. There’s the SS Supercharged with the 2.0L 205 HP engine and the SS with the 2.4L 171 Hp engine. It’s sort of like the SRT-4 and the SRT design Neon.

even before the gay advertising…they were still selling alot of scions.

im not majorly bashing the SS, i am blown away that there are two engines for the SS.

why must you bring up my car every single time i talk about an other car?

Ask them about changing the oil. i know for a fact you have to take the supercharger off to change the oil.

11

I like the toaster oven van thing, not hating. just thought i bring it to your attention

12

keep in mind…those numbers are not the whp…im just saying the car overall is a disappointment…

and yeaaaa whats up w/ the Neon SRT design? I saw one of those the other day…very…interesting

13

What you talkin about willis?

14

never mind. i know to i believe change the filter or the oil you have to take the super out.

15

you are retarded. you DO NOT have to take the supercharger off to change the oil or the filter. even thinking that makes me want to slap the living shit out of you. think a little before you post please for your sake.

16

toaster oven van thing :bowrofl:

i’m so :owned: on here b/c i own a scion

17

Numbers are never WHP numbers (unless the car is purposely underrated). I agree that GM should’ve gone further, but there’s a ton more potential in that car than the TC. I can’t stand the wing or the wheels on the SS. The trunk is also useless.

The SRT design neon is for people who want to ugly up their regular neon by putting on an ugly front bumper and 1" chrome exhaust tips.

18

x2.

19

the TC engine can take anything you can throw on a Camry engine…TRD supercharger, probably a half-dozen turbo kits, etc…

i dont care if you own a scion or a yugo.
your like “some” black people always thinking the white man is comming to get you.
