why wouldnt it be?

they have the solstice/sky tc at $35000
they have the soon to be camaro at $30000-40000
they have a ton of cars from 13000-20000
The ss/tc will be saturated anywhere but priced below $30000

 

im thinking under 25k since cad=usd(approx)
i just think its possible it could be a bit more expensive because of the new features that sound rather expensive.

new FE5 Sport suspension with specific stabilizer bars, spring rates and damper tuning
"no-lift shift" feature on manual-transmission models
projector-beam foglamps

just to name a few.

 

w00t, and on other news, Guitar Hero 3 came out ^_^ got my copy for the xbox 360, cant wait to play it later, poor poor ryan... no 360 to play on

 

ryan beat coop already. and is decently into the solo.

 

Everytime i see that turbobalt on the top of the page i think its dayns car lol

 

Very true. GM has a lot of cars within several different price points. The Cobalt line has always filled the game between 20k-30k. I can't see the SS/TC being more then 27k, were the SS/SC started out (before price drops in mid-late 06)

These are all features that come in all the other LNF setups. Tgis powerplant is now being mass produced for 4 different GM brand models (Solstice, Sky, HHR, Cobalt). So it probably costs them less if anything to drop it into this car then the 2.0L SC plant did.

The FE5 is also the HHR SS suspension, which has simply been retuned, so the hardware is probably 90% the same as the already in production HHR SS parts. The extra features line no-lift shift and competition mode are also available on the Solstice/Sky.

So, over all.. it probably costs GM less to produce the new SS/TC then it ever did to produce the SS/SC.

My buddy brought over his 360 and we already completed Coop career and most of solo career. But then he got tired and went home.. now no more GH3 for me till I get my xbox back

 

So me and Andrew started talking,and he wants to do wings again like we did on Thursday.

So anyone up for wings at Smitty's? prob. the one on pembina again. It would be for this Thursday coming up, the 1st of Nov

So far

1) Mat
2)Andrew

 

I would go, but I'm workin until 10:30. If you guys are there after that I will probably come by.

 

Good luck with reliability on that turbocharged motors....all the GM nerds can say what they want but its alot of power going to a FWD stock...Why do you think they discontinued the SRT-4s...it was a WAYYYYY better motor than the SS and all of them were constantly back in the shop.

The Caliber SRT4 has 300hp and it is continually delayed production because it is breaking down all the time. Sure you can say Chevy>Dodge but it won't make a difference...

Sure the idea of a 260hp turbo cobalt is a great idea but when everyone has leases for thier cars (ex JP,me,tdot) its not going to be worth it to trade up...REP the SS/SC because you are going to be screwed with money owing if you try and trade up.

Just my 2 cents.

Thats coming from a guy that already has a TC and SC car though

 

Says the guy that wants to twincharge and put n2o in his fwd car....

 

i really dont know what to do..i will take a huge hit if i trade my car in for a turbo balt..but im gonna have such a surplus of money when i graduate..and i want to do something with cars..but why waste money on my car if its a lease..i really need some direction..

 

ya...........ok.........

care to explain how the SRT-4 engine was WAYYYYYYY better?



but anyway i started on my turbo quest for failure tonight....got the bumper, hood and the Heaton off.

 

good points, i now understand why people are saying that the ss/tc should be cheaper.

 

Guys the projector driving lamps? we always had them they are no different.

the FE5 suspension? The cabalt lt had basic suspension, SS had FE3, SS/SC had FE5.
The FE5 they talk of is refined to improve it. At least that is how I have read reviews in the past that our cars have FE5.

bump

i could care less about a turbo balt

 

Wes is right. The fabulous "new" FE-5 suspension is not new. It is retuned.

Oh, and congrats to Dayne!!!!

For some reason, the world feels a bit more "right" now - just seems more comfortable to see that car in the PL.

 

Your the guy that always comes out first and bashes richard. Who are you to say you know everything about cars...i show people what you post and they just laugh...

 

Get out and go play with your xbox buddies....poor baby, no xbox, go cry somewhere else


Oh no I didnnnttttttttttt


GM nerd, has to be kidding me...

Cobalt SS motor.....2.0 litre, only can handle 300ish hp without blowing up

SRT4 motor....2.4 litre, can handle up to 450hp on stock internals...

MY SRT owns my SS besides looks...its a fact ask anyone....SRT>SS for motor

Buh bye

 

i agree and disagree with u richard..i do feel that the srt-4 makes a better motor then the cobalt in preformance...reliabilty it blows midgets ********..and as for looks, looks are to the eyes of the beholder..u cant justify looks..

 

Does this mean you think it's reliable or not? Sorry I can't quite figure it out

 

**** i almost fell out of my chair!!! god you need to post more....but i don't blame you for not as of late

so i guess its just me and mat for wings? well your loss we get steph to ourselves hahaha

 

haha well that made me think..ive heard tons of stories where they arnt reliable..but in ur case it is..its hit and miss i guess..like a midget blowing **** lol

 

True JP....

How about we keep all the bullshit comments in person...everyone can be an e-thug but most wont say it to your face...cough JEFF cough...lol jk buddy...i love you

kennyspec your alwasy the first one to come out and bash whatever im doing...and we all know Ryan is just jealous of me so i understand where he is coming from...

We are family, we fight but in the end we all love each other. We dont want this to turn into a honda forum












except JP....jk son

 

This is one of the worst posts I've seen in a while, all your facts are wrong.

First of all, what's wrong with 260hp in a FWD? the truth is that's not a whole lot of power nowadays. The SRT-4 production stopped because the neon/sx chassis was finished, just like gm killed the cav/sunfires in 05, then Dodge upgraded to a new body. The car wasn't discontinued ever.

Where did you read that the Caliber SRT-4 was 300hp and delayed for a second? The car is 280hp and it was never delayed, it was always slated as an 08 model.

Oh and I've never had any major issues with my neon, also most people I know with the cars don't have issues and the same goes for cobalt ss owners. Most of the problems people do have are things they either screwed with/or beat the **** out of.

 

Caliber SRT-4...DOHC I-4....300hp at 6000..

Well considering it was suppose to be out for 07 since the dealership was trying to get me one then they moved it to a late 07 model then they moved it to 08....
