in a pickle

okay so not gonna lie i feel theirs really no like major difference from a stock cobalt to a fully bolted and tuned one. debating on stopping the modding on my car and just save for a downpayment on a bike? anybody convince me on either side, besides the fact that this probably should not be posted in this section

Wont you loose $3000 + from what you owe on your cobalt to what you get for it? Why not get a turbo kit, have a fast cobalt, and still be able to drive it on days it rains?

stop modding a 2.2? good idea. unless you plan on building the motor and going all out.

just get the bike. then you will have a good car to drive when needed, and a bike to drive when wanted. problem solved.
NO MORE 2.2 parts, its not needed.

with an opinion like this you've yet to experience the joy of a fully bolted-tuned cobalt. i think you should stop modding and go find an ss or nsrt4 for a good deal.

driving an ss/sc and thinking you're the **** is a joke.


the biggest joke is the fact that we got all these cobalt owners on this forum and there's literally only a hand full of real car guys. who gives a **** NA, N2O, supercharger or turbocharger? does it matter how you get around?

i love ccs.net but this forum and most of it's members are a ******* joke.

You're sure as hell going to notice a difference...
