hmmm this concerns me because supposedly the colorado SS was supposedly coming out in 07

Saturn relay is dead. There are no plans to produce it after the 2006 m/y. Unless something has changed in the last week. It's a good thing too. The relay is complete garbage.

an awd 2.4l colbalt sounds sweet

awd cobalt..........thats sounds really sweet.

euric dinkins wrote:an awd 2.4l colbalt sounds sweet

actually, that sounds slow. I've driven the 2.4 SS, it's nice, but would pale in comparison to a WRX or Evo. 2.4 Turbo, or Supercharger would compete. Also, a nice and fast AWD coupe would get put near the top of my "list of things to buy." (Delfino Feroce where are you?)

An AWD 2.4 TURBO Cobalt sounds much better.

agreed


a awd sky/solstice would be sweet too


lol

An AWD cobalt with a 2.4 turbo would make me wet my pants.

I saw a saturn sky on the road today. The same engineer i saw driving a STS-V a few months back. I know where he lives I may just "swing" by one day, he has to work for my friend Dan Hancock. The sky was like the STS-V in that it was all white with black checker like vinyl on it. I must say i looked sharp in white!

I still think they need to bring the camaro and firebird back together. I think the demise could be a good think if the demand and hype led to a better vehicle.


Nice info Mr.Goodwrench.GT

good read

if they stop the gto's
everyone that has one will have a big grin

in 20-30 years they should be worth a bit of $$$
yes should

camaro and no firebird? this saddens me. not that the possibility, no matter how small, that the camaro would be coming back doesnt kicks ass. but i've always been a big firebird fan. we'll see


Andy

it's not how fast you go, it's how you get there that counts.
ZZP XP cam, 1.6 rockers, 105# springs, speedbuilt FWI, 3.3" modular pulley, TOG headers,
3" exhaust, flomatched injectors
'97 GTP 14.06@100.6mph pre cam w/ 3.5" pulley, I/E

maybe the s/c / turbo awd cobalt

SPORTY RWD CAR: GM wants to offer a sporty, 4 pass car. GM is still looking on a low-cost, RWD architecture. “Beta” is under consideration. GM Daewoo is involved in the research. The car will be targeted at the Mustang. The timing is unclear, but speculation has that GM will unveil a Camaro concept at the Detroit auto show.

Ditto.

The rest sounds about right....

Where did you get this info? It was a nice read.

Yeah that scares me, but we'll wait and see.

I saw Camaro and I was happy.

However, the Daewoo thing does scare me. Maybe it'll be like how nobody believed Hyundai could build a reliable car, and now look at 'em.

I wish for the best.

I can see a turbo in place of the supercharger on the 2.0 in the AWD cobalt since the sosltice will have a 2.0 turbo eco. I'd like to see the ss/sc dropped for the awd turbo, then the reg SS 2.4 bumped up to around 200. Then see the turbo eco make 275ish.




2006 Cobalt SS 2.4L 9.6 @74mph 1/8th mile w/2.28 60ft

ooo yeah the AWD cobalt should be fully independent in the rear. Or we should all hope, hell we'll be lucky w/ an awd cobalt




2006 Cobalt SS 2.4L 9.6 @74mph 1/8th mile w/2.28 60ft

well the s/c cobalt is capable of 280ishhp stock w/ a tune supposedly

which if it is, is crazy

somethings are weird...but im glad they are increasing the power of the gm fleet again. we've been underpowered for too long. an awd cobalt is awesome, im sick of ppl raving about evo 8's with 275 hp.


AkA joe m.

Ricer ELIMINATOR!

A hardtop Solstice is expected for 2008.

awesome!
