You'd think that Chevy would at least get an AWD car out to compete with the WRX and Evolution vehicles. If you are going to play in the Rice arena, don't show up to a gunfight with a knife!

Was reading on a GM site There is a major problem with the 05 Cobalt and the 05 Mailbu Gm is having problems with the electronic steering There is no tie rods steering box or rack It has steering by wire Talk to two guys that just had GM do a buy back because of the lemon law because of the bad steering I was also told by a guy at a Pontiac dealer that GM is killing the GTO sales were really bad they still have three 04 GTOs
GM is not bring back the camaro or any other rear drive cars any time soon and there is still talk about shutting down Buick or Pontiac This is really sad what the heck is GM doing They used to be king of the mountain

$23500 for a supercharged 200hp cobalt.

For approx. $1500 more you can get a 300hp 05 mustang.

Plus the speed equipment is going to be way cheaper for the mustang vs the cobalt. Once the speed equipm people get on line you can probaly get an easy 100 more horsepower out of the Mustang for $1000-1500.00

To get another 100 out of the cobalt probaly $3000-4000.00

Of course this may be moot as the cars are going after a different target audience.

Don't forget that the early Impala SS cars had 6 cyl engines so there wasn't a lot of performance in those.
But it is a joke with all the Chevy vehicles that they slap the SS on nowadays.

<font color="blue">Just like the Early Chevelles .. you could order the "SS package" .... !!!But!!!! ....
at least then you could order almost any drivetrain available.
Today, the SS is the package ... unless you want to upgrade the...
