SLEEPER Cobalt vs GT-R & ZR-1

[@BertoAranda]

Cobalt is an underestimated car, could've been way better if Chevy made it Awd

[@Dannyshadows19]

I got a stock 06 sc... I never did anything to it due to always getting in trouble lol... but I wanna tune it now... where should I start? any advice appreciated :)

[@Tea_1745]

Depends how much $$$ you want to spend but the gm stage upgrades are a good place to start, suspension, maybe even covert it to a turbo if you've got some $ to burn. I've got two Cobalts a 2006 LS with the L61 since brand new(which have grown to love this platform from her) with just basic bolts on's like cai, 2.25" exhaust manifold back w/high flow cat, short shifter, jet maf sensor, front strut brace, Bosch +4 spark plugs, power stop rotors and pads. My other cobalt is a 2010 SS/TC for a few years now with k&n/aem upgraded short ram intake, xs 3" turbo back and will do the gm stage 1 upgrade soon along with suspension and brakes. since this will be my Sunday driver and my 2006 will have a fully built ecotec(not sure but leaning towards an LSJ block for mpfi) will be my project.

[@heyitsthatoneguy91]

Cobalt is shit. Chevy needed it to boost their mpg ratings for the epa. Their main money is in their trucks. My ecotec suffered the infamous timing chain failure. Built cheap, sold cheap

[@michealangel1556]

OFFICIAL NSA your stupid it’s direct injection is powerful you trendy moron you don’t know anything about how engines work probably an idiot that thinks engine size wins races this car has various advantages over the gtr it’s lighter it has a coolant boost intake and exhaust modes with performance chip and gdi oil with a race filter and magnesium rims and a special suspension system and plenty of traction an awd won’t help it cuase the car has no weight in the back the awd would just weigh it down

[@jayvee6279]

you can with good fab knowledge and some research...theres civics running awd k series kits off honda elements and honda pilots pushing 7s and 8s on the track. there are even aftermarket companies like humble performance selling bolt on rear trailing arm kits for the rear diff. and mounts, im pretty sure these kits could work on a cobalt.

[@stoneybaker4408]

I wanna see more of that cobalt. Not many people build them. I think its badass and unsuspecting

[@Casasgozalez6824]

check out on youtube snobalt vs gtr alpha

[@stoneybaker4408]

Will do thanks man!

[@mitchelllcallahan5418]

Stoney Baker mines built and youre right....NO ONE sees it coming lol

[@chrismonroe8417]

uh, everyone builds them. I only know of a few that are still stock lol. WAAAAAAY more rare to find them stock than modified.

[@Mack9077]

Stoney Baker I use to whoop so much ass in my turbo balt. One with full boltons n tune can beat pretty much anything with 400whp or less on the road. I even beat scat pack chargers up to about 155mph

[@ocdaddvids]

I have had a 2006 supercharged Cobalt and the 2008 Turbo and dozens of other high perf cars including turbo mustangs, tunnel rammed 460 cars with nitrous etc etc etc and one of my fav all around cars was that Turbo SS Cobalt. Like a little razor blade in traffic. If I drove easy it would get incredibly good mileage and when it was go time the car was fast enough to get it done. The engineering in the SS Turbo Cobalt was top notch. I drive a 2014 Mustang GT now because its a more comfortable for my commute but I wish I still had that Cobalt. First GM with Direct Injection, way more power per litre than almost any GM car including new Z07. Don't knock it until you actually have driven one...

[@Tea_1745]

AMEND brother!

[@miasma19]

I love my 09, my last car was a 08 zo6 and had an 04 zo6 before as well. I honestly must say my cobalt is so much fun and it pulls as hard as my 04 zo6 in its current tune. Fantastic power for the money. Great little car.

[@fromthebackofmymind]

Bought a J-body with the, then new 2 .2 Ecotec. Each of my three kiddos drove it. I still got it. And it still gets it. Delta platform seems to iron out suspension issues. The J's on launch, squat aft pretty bad. Mulling a set of KYB Adjustables. But I'm old. My kidneys don't like the bumps.

[@youtubasoarus]

Probably because hungry. Needed food right then. No time for extra stuff.

[@redlinemotorsportts]

Ketchup weight reduction, race car thinking

[@dylanjoseph8613]

still dont get why people underestimate the cobalts.

[@nintendoatarikiller]

Because it's usually driven by ricer kids who are forced to buy domestic. Not all cobalt and srt-4 drivers are ricers, but many are.

[@DocumentaryHub]

It doesn't matter what car you have, you can make all cars go fast in a strait line.

[@DocumentaryHub]

***** Of course you can make it faster. Different engine in it, and you are done

[@smalley008]

osp80 this is a LSJ

[@FrequencyOfThought]

No shit , the little cobalt that could , I've put 200 thousand dollar cars to shame on a stock turbo cobalt with e85 and bolt ons. Get real people. Cobalts aren't some fucking joke if done right.

Your drunk bud people mad hate on the cobalts too. I get lots of flack for owning one. Especially being its not the juiced up turbo or super'd model

Interesting how no one is bitching about the ZR1 and its mods...

[@hikeskool]

mikeflemming711 it's kind of a shame, really. The datsus is actually a nice car - it's throngs of playstation racer fanboys give it such a bad name though.

[@emperor002002]

It wasn't over 9000.

[@TroIIingThemSoftly]

I see what you did there.

[@Smittz]

Kyle Tatum under 9000?

[@BANANAHAMMER420]

That's a fast ass cobalt straight up. I will always love and enjoy v8's more than any other engine but it's insane what the 4cyl can do these days along with the v6. No hate just trying to respect all fast bad ass cars no matter what make they are our what they got under the hood.

[@oldschooldude8370]

Exactly. That balt is a bad bitch.

[@Mooselover1011]

Another instance of power to weight beating shear power...

[@BlakesWrld]

Good race with the cobalt and corvette

you aren't alone! :)

Lmao yeah that was funny

[@jeddaaah]

laughing at his accent and the way he talks? at least he owns a GTR and speaks 2 languages ;)

[@boosted2.4_sky]

Nice...Ecotec...hopefully this video helps people understand that these are serious engines..

[@aaronbritt2025]

8 years later... I just started building an '09 SS.

[@ngekseng]

for a 700+AWHP GTR ..that is damn slow..sounds more like a light tuned setup to me..prolly 600hp?

[@renster143]

Like 600 at the crank. No way a 450 hp cobalt is going to beat two "700" hp cars

[@jcotty7]

600whp gtr is already faster than 650hp zr1

[@Reeves1770]

***** just did. That's what he's making I know for a fact.

[@ngekseng]

That's what I was thinking...that guy prolly didn't even dyno his car..

[@14ccs]

***** he's 2900lbs, and the gearing is probably very short in the cobalt, the zr1 has gearing to go over 200mph, a zr1 is around 3600lbs and the GTR is heavier besides that he has slicks, weight is a lot more important than you think.

[@SilentMovements305]

Never saw this video but damn that Cobalt was badass especially from a young kid, he definitely knows what he's doing, bright future as well.

[@B0SSNINE]

As a Ford guy I don't like to admit it, but a friend of mine has an '09 Cobalt SS (one that has the stock turbo and not a s/c) and that thing is SUPER fun to drive and surprisingly quick!

[@TimmahST]

B0SSNINE right with ya on that. Quick little bugger. Thought my ST would blow right past this cobalt... stayed dead even the whole time. Props to Chevy on this car

[@Revitalyzed]

Cobalt's are pretty underrated. The other a Cobalt SS did a quick fly-by and to be honest, it the scared the shit out of me. Wasn't expecting that loud of a supercharger whine and the crackles in the exhaust. They're pretty cool cars if you set them up right!

[@MrViceversa10]

there are actually alot of respectable cobalts out there. glad to see one of my cars on 1320!

[@xxwxlsonxx]

I drive a cobalt stock but getting a turbo for it soon

[@mustard_frog1393]

wish my cobalt looked that badass

[@devonawhite7426]

cobalt is the shit! got one myself..

[@pokealong]

I just got myself a little LS coupe manual. Nowhere near a sports car, not that fast, but it has plenty of get up and go and most importantly.. it's fun as all hell to drive.

[@06basecobaltls17]

You can make it fast lol

[@pokealong]

JD B Sure. For thousands of dollars. I bought a $1,700 car for a reason. I'm broke.

[@06basecobaltls17]

Yeah true for about 2 grand you can turbo it. I forget how cheap these cars are now. I have had mine for 9 years but have the same LS manual. Partly because they are so cheap I couldn't get rid of mine for that because it is worth more to me, so I made it fast instead lol. It's a blast to autocross.

[@pokealong]

JD B Mine was in a minor accident(hit a deer, dented the hood, slightly bent the radiator core support) and also had a dent from a drunk neighbor kicking the passenger door and the guy I bought it from was about to have twins when he already had two kids so didn't want a couple. Got it for a steal of a price. Fixed up the minor issues. Bam, great car to get to college for the next few years at least. With 141k miles on it I likely won't turbo it, but in the future when I have more money I may end up buying an SS because even the LS is incredibly fun to drive.

[@Maniac7G]

Not really much of a sleeper with those fuckin drag radials, but in the beginning at :06 i couldnt stop laughing for half the video.

[@MrGovenator1]

Went back and watched. Can't say I get it.

[@911ctr]

I think he was laughing because of the accent.

[@sarahdell4042]

That thing rolls hard for the amount of power it makes. HATE those cars with a passion, but huge props

[@TheMainMan318]

how old was the kid you were talking to with the cobalt. he seemed pretty young, looked around 21-23 to me

He's 19. That's my boy. He was driving that night.

[@tomparry4313]

Why didn't anyone laugh when he said his turbo has an "extended tip"?

[@derjoh1986]

The Vette won but MAN!! That Cobalt, though!!

[@natecartwright9497]

I have this things sister car, same wheels and all LOL. We're you running the stock F35, or had you swapped for a F23/F40? Just ordered an f40 setup from OTTP, and big turbo from ZZP. Already full bolt ons otherwise.

[@JoeMama-cv8rl]

I remember that i once went to a drag race and literally saw a beetle beating a camaro and a little car named caribe (which is the latin american version of the 1980s golf) obliterating a corvette!!! obviously they were tuned as hell, but hey, this class of shows are worth every second.

That's the same guy in that corvette before he ported his supercharger and installed a 250 shot of NOS. Making 1200hp to the wheels on a dry humid day!

[@reapr15]

What camera are these videos being filmed on

[@lordzevallos]

Did the zr1 or cobalt win?! Also why roll race on a drag strip????

[@theroyalcrownedtiger2946]

I own a Cobalt, although not the SS, it's still enjoyable to drive it, will be putting work into it to improve it.

[@sneeakysteve]

How do you miss a gear? Shifting at the wrong rpm or what?

[@iant720]

No you literally skip it, on a manual it has a shift pattern. Sometimes when your reaching up to hit 3rd you accidentally go into 5th gear. Or when your trying to shift fast sometimes you let off the clutch before you select the next gear and it just grinds and won't go in until you depress the clutch again. A money shift is when you try to upshift say redline in second upshift to 3rd but you go back into first! This over revs the engine, causes major damage. Hence money shift... Also nobody double clutches in the real world unless you have a very old car, or a semi truck. You can revmatch upshift or downshift. When it's downshifting it's called throttle blipping, or heel and toe. There you go, pretty much all the car terms you need to know... Oh and riding the clutch means slipping the clutch excessively or keeping your foot against the pedal. It wears it out very fast. Do not do this. Cheers!

[@sneeakysteve]

Thanks! I drive a manual and did not get how people just "miss" a gear but like you said when people get off the clutch to early or on too late that makes more sense in a fast paced racing situation, did not know about the money shift term lol

[@ryanspell]

I just got an hhr today and this car give me hope.

[@insulator1one]

Any suggestions for making a 06 Impala SS as fast as possible? Turbocharger? Etc? Thanks

[@PaPWPW]

Sell it and buy an ls1 camaro/firebird, you will gain 2 seconds at the strip just with that

[@GT-gt4bf]

You need to watch out for the trans, if you can strengthen it then you can Do a bunch of stuff. Nice cruiser.
