Pretty quick. Better than most cars out there such as a Scion TC or a Civic.

Cons

Couldn't afford the insurance on an SS so I'm stuck without the turbo..... : /

Cobalt Sport Coupe — 2.4L DOHC Ecotec Engine. I added a K&N typhoon short ram intake to it. 7 Speaker Pioneer sound system with amped up tweeters and sub. 17' Rims. Fully loaded.

My Car — Well its the prettiest and brightest yellow possible. Remote start, leather heated seats, 6 disc in dash cd player, came with a 10" sub, granted its not as fast as my brother and sister-in-law's 06 supercharged cobalt, I love it!

Overall:

Pros

Pretty much everything about the car is good. The engine comes with more standard horse power than the SS which has a 2.0L engine. Granted the SS has more standard horse power given the fact that it has a turbo. Throwing a turbo on the 2.4L engine the Cobalt Sport has would make it significantly faster than the SS.

Cons

Doesn't come with a turbo.

2.4l Dohc Ecotec Engine — Fully loaded with 7 speaker Pioneer sound system that includes amped up tweeters and 10 inch sub. 17 inch wheels. Pirelli tires.
