'Near as I could tell 6750 (rdeline)rpm--might be 6800. Really annoying when you hit it but didn't mean to

NO......I've found to achieve better times when starting in "L" (and therefore disabling taction control) and then jumping right up into "D" ...I've also tested it starting right from "D" but the only bitch about that is traction control kicks in 90% of the time and drops those rpm's right down and shoots those 1/4 times to ****

I think all cobalt owners would agree with me that the ANTENNA is the most annoying thing about the cobalt

I would like to post a problem with ALL cobalts...not just the 2.4L......we have these HUGE trunks and this damn tiny opening...it's really the only thing that pisses me off. My boyfriend and I went shopping for a patio set over the summer and it fit in my trunk but the only problem is I had to fold the seats down and put it in from the inside...other than that it fit perfectly in the trunk and it wasn't a small table

This thread has a pdf with all the parts numbers. I just ordered my front groud effects and it also has the rear on this doc:
