Why they did not do what they did with the ION 3 I do not know... ION badge. 2.4 badge. DONE. No Red Line **** of which to speak. Cobalt LT on the left. 2.4 on the right. Done. Or they could have done Cobalt Sport from the beginning. Rack up another fail for the General.

 

now that very much agreed

 

Shoulda been Sport from the beginning... But all you morons saying it didnt deserve the "SS", learn some history, there have been far worse cars that wore the "SS" badge.

Youre all dumb, its a badge, no one but us knows what they mean, quit crying and flaming, go away.

 

I had a 1990 454SS truck back in the day. The sad thing about that truck is that it had 230 horsepower. Terrible. But there was 385 lb/ft of torque at 1600RPM! If I did a brake torque, the burnout would not end until I lifted. And I am not exaggerating. Was it worthy of the SS badge. Not by today's standards, but considering the cool **** that was being built in 1990, it was worthy.

And it is much cooler than the SS 2.4 liter.

And if you bought a sport in 1990, it was identical, except it said sport instead of 454ss on the bed sides, and it had a 350 instead of the big block. If you switched the stickers, you would be gay.

 

Thats right there have been, and all but a few deserved it more than a measly 170HP 2.4. I am not ripping the car, it just shoudl have been called sport, your right, just not Super Sport. Except for a few exceptions, all of those were dead on with the cars that are/were out at the time.

 

is the horse not dead yet...???

 

We're workin on it but the damn thing just keeps on kickin...

 

The 2.4 is more worthy of the SS badge then some 454SS pickup truck








never fails

 

lulz

epic wailz

 

dont think so, my buddy has a 99 suburban with a 454. it has SSS badges on it (super sport suburban). I think its badass!!

 

Yea, the 454SS was a bad ass truck at the time, there were a few tweaks to it and it would run in the 14's without spending any money. For the time, and the size/weight of the truck, it was a pretty good performer. My buddy had one, and I remember beating out a mustang one night up till about 90.

 

Yeah just about the same coolness my neighbor had a 454ss dualy quad cab and i remenber him smokin four rear tires yeah its a pretty sweet truck for you know a truck.

 

Update 1: My uncle (engineer for GM, he helped design our little light sensor on the dash, haha) sees no problem whatsoever.

Update 2: I badged it, and no ones noticed, complained, or excessively flamed on me. Even the people I told saw no problem in it.

I'm usually not hostile but I really don't appreciate being attacked. Thanks to those who were civil.

 

Seriously, I think you TRYING to get flamed. That's the only reason I can think of that you would purposely come back on here and stir this pot again. Just do want you want with your car, and quit trying to get attention for it or justify it. Hopefully everyone else can just leave it alone too.

 

Why would you bump this!! Let the madness stop!!

 

Jussst sayin, man. No sense of community on here sometimes. Just "I'm better than you, I'm smarter than you, you fail, but not as bad as your car fails" attitude. This is a forum, and I asked a very non controversial question not even coming close to expecting the hellfire that would rain on me. It would be one thing if I asked if I could put a roof spoiler and a sti badge on. I don't want to stir up the pot. I'd just like to bring awareness that a lot of the responses I got were NOT cool and I'm not a ricer in any way shape or form. A simple "I wouldn't do it" or "I don't see a problem" would have been fine.

 

Its rice...fake badges are rice. Get over it.

 

I'd trust a white collar worker who helped design my car over you mkruley.

 

ok..its still rice there fake badges. I dont care if you want to believe or not. Its just the plain truth

 

dude just drop it, your just gonna continue to get flamed.

 

QFT. As long as you keep coming on here to defend your decision, people are going to respond negatively like this. Just move on with it and don't hold your breath on people on the internet suddenly becoming polite and respectful, especially when they don't agree with you.

 

Well, I'm not a ricer AND I know the difference between they're, there, and their, so as long as I don't get flamed in the real world I'll be content. It just sucks I can't come on here and say anything without getting a WMD up my ass.

 

No one can say anything on here without getting flamed. Just ignore them man. Continue to do what YOU want to your car and what makes YOU happy, never EVER listen to what 98% of the people on here say.

Off topic: We need to hang out sometime Jaemon52!

 

Haha, thanks dude. Yeah we should. It's too bad I'm living in Kalamazoo right now and the weather is ****. However the spring/summer will be different. I'll definitely be on woodward with a few people this summer, you should go with us.

 

Sounds funny from the guy with a SS/SC front bumper and a SS/SC spoiler on his 2.2 cobalt. That screams SS much more then a small little badge. Ricer
