Hey there, I'm new here obviously, but I've been to 2 motorgen events, one in my car, and I went to this past meet up in Yorba Linda as a passenger. I drive a black cobalt SS and look forward to going to more meets if they don't fall on any of the local cobalt gathering dates. :) I think I only talked to one person....but look foward to meeting more!

Looks good. What year is it? Does it have the supercharger or turbo?

It's a 2008 and it's turbo.

The car looks great. I still can't get over how quick the turbo Cobalt SS is right out of the box.

Me too - I'm so anal about the Cobra (Leedom should chime in making fun of me shortly).

Mine is definitely quicker than stock now. This is the first car I bought with my own money that's in my name so I baby it.

I ain't gonna lie. The stock Cobalt can be a bit ho-hum. But they do polish up purty and apparently pretty easily. The performance value is undeniable.

Nice! GM has been putting out some nice cars in the past 2 years. I was thinking of getting one of these when i was buying my CTS. I Really like the mods you've done they look tasteful but still sporty oh and welcome

Sean is 3/4 :gay: He use to be just :gay: but he got married and became 2/3 :gay: and he is having a kid so now he is just 3/4 :gay: He likes Anal as Leedom said. I think that pretty much sums it up. :thumbs_up:

Hey, fellow newbie here. That is a very sweet ride. I'm a big fan of black wheels. My daily driver is a SRT-4, which seems to be the Cobalt's natural enemy if you believe the tools on some forums. I have a lot of the respect for the Cobalt's potential. I saw John Heinricy drive one to victory in the SCCA National Championships. There have been a couple of teams running SRT-4's in the SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge, but they've never had strong backing from Dodge and haven't done that well so far.

Nice!! Those are great pics - especially the first one. Assuming the weather holds, I'm going to be taking my SRT out next weekend for a "photo shoot" with a friend of mine who's done some professional photo work as a side job. If those pics are worthy, I'll post 'em up.
