    (Supercharged) No bashing if you dont like the looks Im looking at the reliability/performance views. Not saying my Regal is going anywhere but my bike is so frees up a little cash(3 bike deaths in my town in 7 days). Anyway anyone unload your Cobalt SS run downs for me.

    Ohhh no no Im amazed she can drive. We cant swing 2 cars that cost that much and you can find S/C ones for decent prices. This is just a maybe thing. Getting rid of a 98 GS with 70,xxx miles would be hard for me in the first place.

    I might have to look into these. I would like one because of the gas mileage and reliability (compared to a GP). I have no money though.

    Ive driven both the TC and SC ones as weve had both on the lot before and they are FUN...

    they both really handled great but the TC one completely outperforms the SC one (obviously)... so much that I ALMOST sold the GP and bought it...

    highly recommend them over all though for sure...

    no... but this was also 2 years ago... and you can make the TC SS fast for CHEAP!!

    drop a little over $1k on one and itd be close if not beat my current setup... they make good power, great power curve and probably only weigh like 2900lbs? (ill google)

    only thing that stopped me at the time was price and insurance really...
