What he said ^^^^^^^


Ok, that sounds better.

FunCrusher

580 COBALTS WERE BUILT OVER THE PAST WEEK!!!! I'm not saying that these were ss, because I don't know, but the point is that the 06's are already being built.

Chevy4Life85

Thanks for at least admitting being wrong on the G85 but do realize that was crazy to claim that people got scammed by GM

NOw check out this 06' being built story too becuase if one was wrong the other might be too 05's werent supposed to be done until the 17th

give us your order # and then we can check and see what your status is

FunCrusher

My order number is is JFQV2G

Chevy4Life85

thanks man hopefully super chevy reads through all of this and checks it for you. Dont get me wrong I hop you get your SS ASAP, but when you come on and say there were no G85's and you heard it from an insider you have to understand why I think you a full of BS troll

Before every model year change, GM makes a few hundred vehicles for executives, emissions and crash testing. Previous year models don't count for the last two. Their executives drive the cars for a few weeeks and then at the end of the two week plant shut down, their responses are gathered to determine if any production changes are in order. Most of these vehiucles will eventually be sent to retail dealers and sold to the general public. Except those used for crash testing, I assume. So it is possible (as well as probable) that some 2006 models have gone down the line. And 580 in a two week period on a line capable of producing that many vehicles in less than one day is likely. And I too have a 2005 SS/SC with Recaro seats and the Quaife ATB limited slip differential, for just over a day and not quite 200 miles on it so far. No pictures, I have no camera and my interior looks just like the ones already posted, -- laborsmith

My salesman argued with me that the SS/SC had 260 hp and that they were getting the only 2 in Florida for all of 2005...

aka_Matt

if anyone wants a silver G85, mine came in and is available, as i got pissed off from the constant delays and lack of answers as to y it was on hold and bought another car...

I hope THIS is enough proof..... I definitely know what I am talking about and as most of you pointed out Funcrusher, well....doesnt...and by the way sucks that you cant get a better deal on your car than 21,000 Funcrusher...with all your pull and all.LMFAO

cobaltchris

No wonder so many people are confused!
Be careful what you read on the internet and this website!

The G85 Package INCLUDES the Limited Slip!

Here's the proof from an invoice with one on it:

G85 PERFORMANCE PACKAGE INCLUDES: 1500.00 1350.00
*LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
*RECARO FRONT BUCKET SEATS

It's so nice to see so many misinformed people, but nobody should EVER tell someone they got a lousy deal... most people without any money normally say that.

GM Employee Price for everyone in AMERICA (sorry Canada)

A $24,445 List Cobalt SS shouldn't cost anymore than the GMS of $22,252 through 7/5/2005
and if you SmartBuy, there is more rebates, subject to location.

Country Chevrolet, in Warwick. NY... about 10 miles from the NJ border, 30 miles from the PA border

CobaltSS313

Who cares if your getting yours first and what not...nobody really cares...as for pull, the only pull your getting is the one chevy has on your nuts...which i could care less about either...the dealership i bought my car from my dad used to work at...whoopty do i dont even care

nikeair042

AKA Matt, what options are on that silver G85 cobalt ss??

irocz85

I dont know where you are getting this BS info, but the 2006 productions do not start until July 18th so this means that you will not have your 2006 ss until aprox. Aug 18th. My father also works for GM and there will be a 2 week model change for ALL plants during the first 2 weeks in july. It takes atleast 2 days to get a car from start to finish and then it may sit on the lot at the factory for upto 2 weeks before it is even put on a truck, then 7 business days to ship it from one coast to the other less time if its in between. So the earliest you will be getting your car is the first week in Aug. so dont count on it. And I dont care who you are your order will be processed in the order it was recieved, you may be confused with the fact that your car will be placed infront of a dealers order if your car is marked as SOLD. So you wont be getting the First car off the line. Also my friends mother works in Detroit and said that she could do nothing for getting my order processed quicker, and thats straight from DETRIOT. My order did get pushed before dealer orders though, and Chevy4Life you are correct they dont start 06 production until July 18th every car from now till then will be an 05.

Chevy4Life85

Thanks thought I was alone on that... I'm planning on getting my SS mid to late august so I hate when somones like well my hookup is gonna egt it for me before they even start buiilding them.....

2004redline

These guys are correct about the shutdown....I work for a crossdock that ships parts to about 20 diff GM plants across north america. For the first week off july all of our dockworkers will be on lay off(....All plants shutdown for change over). The second week we will be shipping to mexico(because there is a seven day trip to get the freight there), wilmington, and the mishiwaka(Hummer H2 plant), Lordstown will be down for those two weeks.

Yea, this image is of the interior of my 2005 Cobalt SS/SC with the G85 package.

hitthecones

She's straight from DETRIOT (Detroit) and cannot help???? Wait, so am I and I'm still waiting like everyone else. The 2006 production does not begin until next week in Lordstown, and I know this for a fact. There will be pilot builds as always but most of those will go out to dealers. I'm guessing that I might see mine in early July.

I cannot believe how far off that one guy is. My dad doesn't work for GM, neither does my uncle, aunt, or otherwise, but I happen to work in the Performance Division right now and I have friends.

05RedSS

Ok my '05 red SS does not have the G85 package but I'm curious......
Can I order the package in part (I don't really need the recaro seats cause I like my leather ones.. still very supportive), but I do want the LSD. However as we all have heard the talks about the Perfomance upgrade packages that are going to be comming availible, if this indeed does happen, should I bother?

Tom

CobaltSS313

If im not mistaken the LSD costs around $1500..im might be wrong but i remember seeing it in a forum on this site somewhere if anyone finds it thats be nice

^ Thats the price for the G85 package (LSD and Recaros)
