Review: 2005 Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

Don't you miss the good old days of SS and SRT 4. When the companies TOOK CHANCES? Their interiors always look like shit but at least you got a very powerful car for not a lot of money.

[@BboyMobster]

Bigtruckseriesreview Motorsports totally agree man!!! Cheap cars that were super quick! . I have never been a person that needs a nice interior car with all these bells and whistles.

[@hmackprotection1]

Bigtruckseriesreview Motorsports, yes on the SRT4

[@Kingsoupturbo]

Shame they wouldn't do it in a quality made car you'd actually want, then it costs 35k

[@BboyMobster]

I own an srt-4 and I have drive a turbo cobalt ss. They both are really fun cars! I'm not one of those srt-4 owners that rival the cobalts lol. I sold my first srt4 then almost got a turbo cobalt but deal fell thru so I picked another srt4 up.

[@themadmachinist8637]

I was all about this platform until I bought my Impala SS. I'm going to have a hard time leaving the v-8 platform. Been considering a chevy SS for a replacement daily driver. I will say though that new focus RS looks awesome. I may have to give it a test drive before I make my choice.

[@ChevroletastragtcOPC]

Oldies will remember this car from NFS most wanted, the Cobalt was one of the best cars if not the best, not the nicest looking car but I'll buy a car for asthetics or for driving dynamics, and this car got them. Nice little thing.

[@Ser_Arthur_Dayne]

As a new 24yr old with a new dream job, I bought a brand-new, fully-loaded Cobalt LT off a lot , and it had every option except a sunroof (IIRC) - and it was a great little car with outstanding gas mileage, comfort, and little luxuries - I admit fully, it wasn't the kid of car that gets girls INTO it - but once they got in, they would all be like "WOW, this is MUCH NICER than I would have thought!" Loved it and it served me right.

[@RodimusPrime]

This is a poor example of these car's abilities, I had a 2007 SS with the G85 and Recaro Seats, 3in exhaust, Borla, OTTP Heat exchanger and single pass intake manifold, LS4 Throttle body, 3in stainless intake, 60lb injectors, ton of other stuff and most importantly a Harrop TVS 1320 Supercharger replacing the stock M62 supercharger, made 298whp at 20psi, just about every suspension mod. Oh yea it also got 381 miles on a tank during a trip out to Ohio which is about 35mpg......Sadly there is no car I can buy today from GM at any price much less 23k (which is what I paid special ordering it Nov 2006) that has this performance and economy.

[@randel86]

All these people hating on the car must be 15 y/o's who are obviously starting to get into the car scene and think an Evo is the best car ever because they saw it on F&F. You forget this car came out more than 10 years ago and back then it was among the best among in its class in terms of performance, I'm pretty sure you would've wanted one. Obviously there are much better choices now as technology progressed. Learn to appreciate what it is just like a true car guy appreciates other people's builds and/or older cars. And yes I bought one new and still own it.

[@johnhuey2104]

I have yet to drive a cobalt. Bought one 2 months ago with motor already pulled. Rusted crank, scored cylinder. Now it’s back from the machine shop ready to build into… this will be a DF Goblin race motor. Yes I will post videos… 2007 Cobalt SS will get new neutral balance shafts for higher rev. Forged rods, pistons. 10.5:1 compression for running e85 (otherwise it would be a grenade) Ported heads, big cam. BIG injectors, pump… cooling mods for engine and intake. And swapping the M62 supercharger with 14lbs of boost for a tvs1320 supercharger that can handle 24+lbs of boost. Motor is going back into cobalt while I get the goblin kit. Then cobalt is a donor for the DF goblin with the motor, trans and everything else needed for the swap. Lots of ZZP parts on my list. Hoping to get 450hp after tuning. I would love to speak with someone this has done this kind of build. These cars have so much underrated potential !!

[@jamesweiers5503]

I own a cobalt SS fun little car can’t wait to fix some of the issues always wanted one when I was younger

[@ricorob100]

Cobalts didn't lose value because of the ignition switch issues, they lost value because they were replaced by the Chevy Cruze which is a better car quality wise. The cavalier lost value when the cobalt came along because it was a better car. I had an 05 Cobalt SS like this one but in black. I had no issues with it, other than the fuel economy sucked. The interior had no squeak or rattles either, and it handled very well. That must be the owners fault for toying with the suspension if the ride is bad. If you read the copy of motor trend, I believe back in 09 the Cobalt SS still holds a record running the Nurburgring until this day also, and that was with the turbo model. So Chevy did something right. I'd take a Cobalt SS again for sure as a weekend ride (due to the fuel economy). P.S. My 2014 Toyota Camry is full of plastic too, and so was the civic of that era.

[@monikhushalpuri]

Fuel economy issue is an easy fix, taller tires on the front and plus a dyno tune with cruise tables adjusted for economy...applies to any car...this car can easily cruise 75 mph on the highway at 2500rpm or lower but the final drive ratio is a 4.05...very short...taller tires will help with this at the least

I can say that the streering in mine is absolutly great, it's smaller has a tight grip and has a good weigt to it too. My car had a modified suspension and it was so bad that I bought the factory one back and it's not bad honestly, so Chevy may have change that! Unfortunatly though, it is always broken.. The previous owner wasn't the smartest guy around and maybe it's his fault but.. always a little something going on.

The Cobalt is a really underrated car. My brother had an LT 4 door that had 31k on the speedometer when he bought it in 2010 and he just sold it last month with 165k on it. Never gave him any problems. Only thing he replaced was the alternator due to putting Sundown Subs into it. Never even changed the timing belt everything was still going strong. The only ones who hate on it are young 20 something years olds and older dudes who remember that period where GM put out a lot of shit boxes. Funny enough this car came out during that period and it was definitely the exception. My coworker still has his and it’s got 200k on it. Great little car man.

(there was no LTZ or higher package than the LT in the first year...) I asked about the SS , I really wanted that supercharger ... but the Salesman was like, "Oh, we're in the first week of March ... you won't see any SS models on a lot until mid-Summer at best... probably the Fall..." ... OK, well, I'll take this one then... saw a Black SS (the one I wanted) a week later lol. MFML. But it was a great little car.

Can someone help me?Soon as you read this reply to me but how do I figure out if mine is a turbo or supercharged

[@TheNaresh308]

Your car should have a SUPERCHARGED or TURBOCHARGED logo on the sides or the trunk to tell you if not open the hood and you'll see the big supercharger right under the engine that's how you'll know you have the supercharged if you don't and have a black plastic pipe thats the Turbo

[@supra392]

You can get one of these for 4K less, you put 4K into a turbo kit and E85 swap, you’ll be gapping lambo’s and that ain’t a lie. Js 🤷🏻‍♂️ just be sure to beef up the timing set

[@omarchakkour2081]

Thats a nice GTR!!

[@brunogabric85]

Won the NFS with this car.... Love it

[@jimmyg1538]

Nice review matt.......would have liked to see the review on the turbocharged model........maybe do a nice comparison video if you can get your hands on one

[@danielplaystation84]

Got this ss used for 3 grand. Used. Same color. Red. Got it at around 78,000 miles. Currently at 138,000 ish. No problems yet. But due to gas prices being so high I'm currently driving my hybrids.

[@ganjacats]

you can say what you want about cobalts but this car will always have a nostalgic place in my heart because it was in NFS Most Wanted lol

[@williambreeze2659]

I'd love to get my hands on one of these!

[@kylelavoie9383]

Upgrading from a Ls to a Ss soon I’m so ready. Gonna be able to mod it quick since I’m already familiar with the engine.

[@B00sted_JT]

Now you need to drive a turbo one!

[@nolanwilliams943]

You're reviews rock 😉

[@chaseholmes8229]

Make me wish I still had mine! One of the best cars I ever had.

[@Vex-zz7br]

the way you can't get one of these running w/o 250k miles for 5 grand today is crazy

[@profoundclarity8497]

I had a 2004 Ion Redline and I loved that car. I love the whine of the charger.

[@demianreith8719]

Nice review. Looks like a coupe version of the WRX STi. What new review will come next week?
