SRT4 VS Cobalt SS

>>16044496
e46 330. neither of those pieces of shit.

>>16044496

both are pig GM/Chrysler econoboxes with lipstick on. get a S13/14 or something for the same price and you get RWD out of it

>>16044591
Much slower and more expensive?

>>16044496
Buy a GTI... I just got one with 104K and rebuilt transmission.... Love it.

>>16044628
Only cost me 5900 too.

neither. if i could pick two pieces of shit to drive, those would be the two.

>>16044628
reliability of peace.

Neither. Ion Redlines are the same car but cost 2k less.

THE SAME CAR

>>16044717
Only 1 result with a clean title, 3 hours away.

WEW

>>16044735
>196k miles too.

JUST

>>16044735
Oh jeez, nevermind. I bought mine from a place that was about 3 hours away though with 95k miles.

SRT4 swap into a first gen Neon, bonus points if ACR or R/T

>>16044735
It's worth driving out that far if you're saving $2k
>>16044742
But fuck that.

If the cobalt is the turbo go with it.
If the cobalt is the supercharged go with the srt 4

>>16044496
Neon, it's much easier to get more power out of compared to the SS/SC, the only thing to worry about is the 3rd gear issues on the T850 trans

>>16045238
Former turbo cobalt owner. This is correct.

Do you own a redline? I was looking at one but the fucking gauge cluster is in the middle of the dash and i think its a deal breaker for me.
Pic related.

>>16045238
>>16045405

Curious why?

>>16044717
but it only comes with a shitty supercharger. Why would you waste your money on the supercharged when you can get the tarbo?

>>16045524
You get used to it, I had to drive a Ion 1 for work and it was fine after a while

SRT4 mainly because I'm a Mopar guy and it would be the devil I know. However I'm fairly confident that a Cobalt SS that's the same price as an SRT4 is going to have much higher mileage and/or be more fucked up but some GM fangirl might argue that the Cobalt has had less chance to be beat up on. I definitely see more girls in Cobalt SS than in SRT4s for whatever that's worth. I did notice Ion Redlines a couple years ago but I think maintenance would eat up your savings on purchase price pretty quickly but again I'm much much more familiar with SRT4 than either of the other two.

There's a little kit you can buy to fix that 3rd gear issue and you don't even have to drop the transmission

>>16044496
Had a 2010 turbo cobalt through 160k miles.

Hand brakes can be problematic. Be prepared to clean and regressed float pins twice a year.

I redlined mine at least a dozen times a day for 5 years and it never burned a drop ofrom oil with 10k mile change intervals.

Still on factory clutch when I sold it and it was gripping tight.

Had gms1 tune from 30k miles on.

It will out corner most and out brake virtually everything short of super exotics. Brakes are dirt cheap and unless fadeable.

Infinitely more composed than a speed3 or gtx on dicey pavement

Averaged about 29mpg over the life of the car per my logs.

>turbo colbalts are way more of a driver's car than any other hopped up econocar before or since.

I test drove an evo x, sti, wrx, speed3, gti, r32, and civic si for the 2010 model year and the Cobalt was the clear winner for day to day liveability and raw performance. That it was reliable through 160k miles of beating mercilessly was a bonus

>>16044786
They ever fix the timing chain tensioner problems with those things?

>the suspension tuning was unacceptably "nervous" on anything but perfect asphalt. It's why I took my tester back to the dealership

>>16044628
I can't see why except for hatch utility

>>16045813
Guess i'll start looking out for one. Does it have a different search name or model or is it like Cobalt turbo compared to cobalt ss

>>16044628
What year?

>>16045857
2008-2010 is what you're looking for in that regard.

Before that you could end up with a naturally aspirated or a sc.

People put a premium on cobalt with a the G80 iirc limited slip differential but I'd say don't worry about it and maybe even avoid it if you are in an area prone to snow.

>>16045857
Just search Cobalt, min year 2008, trim SS

The Ion Redline is only equivalent to the SS SC, the SS TC is much better than either. Plus, the cobalt has a nicer interior.

>>16045969
Cobalt ain't got dem flashy suicide doors, and it ain't got Recaros neither

>>16045978
>suicide doors and recaros

It doesn't matter, it's still a Saturn and stil shit

>>16046008
>Saturn
>shit
