Cobalt 2.2?
I was at the dealership today and saw that they now stock Cobalts, I was pretty stoked. I looked around and saw a Cobalt SS S/C in the side but they were offering ~24,000!!! Seems a little TOO much for it. But they had a wide selection of LS/LT models. They averaged at 15k with, I think, all the options (including auto transmission). But there was one that was the base of base cobalts. No options, just manual everything, and it was priced at about 12-13k. Unfortunantly reality is kicking me and I think i will be settled with this (which i don't mind at all). What I'm curious is how is the modability of the 2.2? If anything, my goal is to try to get the highest hp without forced induction.
Thanks!
Thanks!

well, from what i've read on here the 2.2 is very easy to work with and very mod-able... one big thing to consider is that if you're ever going to want power windows, you should do it now... someone here was trying to do it and it turned out to be a big pain in the ass....

There was that show on Speed TV (name slips my mind at the moment) and they turbo'd the 2.2 and came out with some nice numbers.
I'd also suggest checking the 2.2l Performance section under Engine Technical Discussion. Best of luck with your Cobalt, whichever trim you decide.

i would be wary of getting the BASE BASE model LS, the one with the sports package seems to have higher MPH on the dash and top out later then the BASE BASE. try and get one with the 16' alloys.
