What is Cobalt SS?
A car that started production in 2008. One of the fastest fwd producion cars in the world, both on the 1/4mile and road courses, even tho it is still underestimated by both the tuner and muscle crowd but it is earning its reputation by winning races. This version of the of the cobalt ss responds VERY well to basic modifications, in some cases gaining 50whp and 100wtq off of a tune alone thanks to the STOCK twinscroll k04 turbo. The main downside to this car is that without a tune anything you do to the car performance wise is a waste of time and money because the ECU will not let you gain any peak hp or tq due to the "learn down" system. Thankfully once you get past the initial down fall of the "learn down" system the car is great, and so is the 2.0L motor that is basically fully built from factory and proven to be able to hold up to 550hp stock.
yo did you see that cobalt at the track he ran 12.6 @ 114 on street tires, i thought he had a ton of money under the hood but when i talked to him and he said all he had done was a tune, downpipe, and a drop in air filter... i NEED to get a cobalt ss/tc right now

Cobalt SS - what is it?
Chevy's lame answer to the Dodge Neon SRT-4. Expect high 14 second 1/4 mile times or even as high as low 15 seconds with the average female driver. The car costs around $20k new. Most drivers are complete dicks that cannot comprehend their shitbox is more competition for an Acura RSX base or a Nissan Sentra SE-R.
Joe: "Did you see the punk ass driving the Cobalt SS trying to pass the SRT-4?"
Brandon: "Yeah I saw it, that SRT-4 was just toying with him. The SRT-4 let the Cobalt jump ahead then pwned his bitch ass."
What does "Cobalt SS" mean?
A cheap economy car that was supposed to be Chevy's answer to the SRT-4, but fell far from the mark. The car has a supercharger that just can't supply the kind of power that the SRT-4 can. Typically people who purchase this car are total Chevy nut jobs who can't face reality, that regardless of what track, drag strip, or rally event you go to, the Cobalt SS will never be as quick as the SRT-4.
Jimmy "Hey man, why can't my Cobalt SS keep up with your SRT-4???"
Allen "Because my SRT-4 has some 30 more horsepower than your Cobalt SS, sucks to be you!!"
