New 08 SS Owner

Hello, I just picked up an 08 SS Turbo, and figured I might as well join the site. I'm not a stranger to turbo cars, I have a 86 Shelby charger, and traded in a 87 Merkur Xr4Ti for the cobalt.

So far I love it, and was wondering what kind of upgrades are available for it?

That looks really nice! But, that sucks about the gravel road... I have a black Cobalt, & I only drive on pavement, & I could probably still wash it every week because it's dirty..... Good luck with it!!!

Dont forget the Hahn PPC tuner....hands down best bang for the buck currently, would complement the Sysnapse 3" downpipe and Hahn 3" catback nicely.. those mods would put you in the 280-290 whp area
