2007 CHEVY COBALT SS DRIVER

Car & Driver noted it’s strengths being “Everything associated with moving-engine, brakes, chassis-is superb.” It beat out a Subaru WRX, Honda Civic Si and a Mini Cooper S JCW – all highly regarded cars. Only losing to the VW GTI and MazdaSpeed3 – two of the best hot hatches of all time. And in 2009 the Cobalt SS sedan placed third in Car & Driver’s compact car comparison. Why do I love boring looking cars? It’s just so bad it’s amazing. Want to not look like a 17-year-old from eastern Pennsylvania? Choose the sedan. Want to fit five people in your car? Choose the sedan. How great is it that you could choose between a coupe or a sedan? The coupe was the Cobalt SS that most people opted for, but the sedan is the one you want. But it was slower around VIR during C&Ds Lightning Lap testing compared to the Cobalt SS. Slower to sixty at 6.3 seconds but better on the skid pad pulling 0.93 g’s. It too has a 2.0-liter turbo that makes 252 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. Not bad for a front-wheel drive car that cost low $20k new.Ī modern car like the Ford Focus ST has similar stats. The Cobalt SS could also dance, pulling 0.92 g’s on the skid pad. That increased the horsepower by 55 more to 260 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque.

Road and Track to said it was “the most underrated car in the world.” Instead of a roots supercharger on the 2005-2007 models, a turbocharger was added in 2008. But from 2008-2010 Chevrolet engineers gave the Cobalt SS an upgraded engine and chassis design. Dat wing tho… You Want The Cobalt SS From 2008-2010

2007 CHEVY COBALT SS PLUS

Believe me now? Plus it can blow the doors off of the Subaru BRZ, Fiesta ST, Focus ST in a zero to sixty sprint. Hell it smoked an S2000, Lotus Elise, BMW 335i, 2010 Mustang GT and a Lexus IS F in C&D’s LL 2008. Making Subaru WRX STI and Lancer Evolution fanboys go home rethinking their purchase. Don’t believe me? Well when Car & Driver tested it in 2008 Lightening Lap (LL) it set a best in class recorded.

The Chevrolet Cobalt SS can handle better than most of the best sport cars in today’s market. But did you expect something better? Seriously, that’s the price you pay when you are hot rodding a compact car. You might as well gut the interior of the Chevrolet Cobalt SS. The Chevrolet Cobalt SS Is Still A Chevrolet Cobalt
