Hey banker balt are you running e85? i ask because your torque is low compared to your hp and mine are pretty close to each other. Or maybe it's the smaller turbo

And I'm also not running a boost controller so it doesn't spike. My torque and hp are linear up to 7500rpm

Why sell your car? You'll get a bad return on it, it is high mpg, 4 door. What would you get in replacement of it? or is it a 2nd car? I have my ss and an escape and just bought a house.....Just save up and plan it right.

Just get rid of it all together. I don't think 55k is high mileage. Still not sure of what I want to do with it yet. Just looking for a car I can drive year round and not be so picky about.

I've took better care of this cobalt then anything I've ever had lol

Not looking to jump into anything special. Just a point A to pointer B'er and remote start lol

Guna run through sone nambers tonight to see if I ill actually be saving money by getting rid of it

Probably not going to sell it. Was just entertaining the thought. I talked to my dad about it. He told me not to sell it. He sold his nova when he was my age and has regretted it ever since then.

Even tho you really cant compare old hot rods to a cobalt lol

why can't you compare old hot rods to a cobalt? The SS is our generations hotrod.
I don't see why you can't use your car as a DD w/ snow tires. The things are **** for resale, so imo keep it. Mine is almost paid the f off. 32k miles on it and never seen snow. And I bet mine is worth like 15k? maybe. I mean I would need to find someone that cared about it not being in snow/salt to sell to.

I'm going to keep it. It actually saves me money by storing it in the winter.

I like to think of it as a modern day hotrod, just a cheaper version of one.
