I went through all the SEMA blogs/threads/posts on GM Tuner Source and Andy stated there would be Cobalt SS TC info to come shortly since SEMA, yet I've seen no new information. Will we see it at NAIAS? Chicago? NY? Rumor's on the Web I've found say it'll be on sale Q2 2008 around April timeframe...will it be a 2009 Model Year? Or a 2008.5? Please give us an update, I'd greatly appreciate it as I want to be one of the first Victory Red (or equivalent) Cobalt SS Turbocharged owners in the nation!

Brian,

Thanks for your comment. We are working right now on a post that talks about the new 2008 Cobalt SS. I can tell you first hand that this car is AMAZING!

Give me a few - and you will see the info shortly.

I will also work to see if we can answer some of your questions that you posted as well.

Stay Tuned!!!

OK sounds like a plan Andy, thanks for the timely response. I'd appreciate any information you can share with us. (I understand you may not be able to answer my questions...yet, but please make sure to address the issues below.) I'll be checking this website daily for the rest of January for updates.

Brian

PS: Many members of www.cobaltss.net have had MAJOR transmission issues with clutches burning out after 10-20,000 miles with their Supercharged Cobalts, has the manual been upgraded for the Turbocharged Cobalt? To what extent?

PSS: On a separate topic, I hear "no lift shift" on the HHR SS only lets 85% of the torque go to the axle upon launch. Is this accurate? Is there any way to disengage this to get the full 100% I assume its a safety feature so the parts doesn't wear out?

The new Cobalt SS Turbo Coupe model will be at the Detroit, Chicago & New York auto shows, with the doors open!. Start of production will be the first week of April as a 2008 model. In July a Cobalt Turbo sedan model will join the coupe.

Hi, can someone please send me an e-mail with the 2008 tour/race schedules? Cool, thanks!
