Chevrolet Cobalt SS Turbo Makes its Debut at SEMA

Chevrolet Cobalt SS Turbo Makes its Debut at SEMA Our friends over at Autoblog were present at this year’s SEMA car show, and they managed to see firsthand the Cobalt SS Turbo we had reported on earlier. Seems we were wrong about suggesting GM’s L850 LNF 2.0 turbo 4 would be detuned for use in the Cobalt. The car comes with all 260hp and 260 lbs-ft of torque that can be had in the Solstice GXP/Sky Redline. That’s a ton of power to those front wheels. Its a good thing GM added a John Heinricy tuned FE5 sport suspension that saw development time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife to try and keep all 4 wheels on the road.

We sure wish we could have been at SEMA to report on this and so much more, but unfortunately we were stuck thousands of miles away. To get the rest of the dish on this hot tuner, head over to Autoblog!

    Hahah that is retarded! Why would they waste time and energy into a performance FWD economy car?

    Why not?
    There’s nothing particularly wrong with FWD cars.
    With modern suspension technology, cars driven by the front wheels are able to handle extremely well.

    Did you know that a mildly tuned Honda Civic SI managed to lap the Nurburgring within 1 second of the time set by the NSX? Pretty impressive given that a lap of the ‘Ring takes between 7 - 8 minutes on average.
