Cobalt SS 2007

Chevrolet Cobalt SS 2007

The Chevrolet Cobalt SS is a car which is marketed to buyers who are younger, or those who are extremely thrilled by the growling of an exhaust or an exalted rear wing.

Stating that, there are almost as many pros to the 2007 version of the Cobalt SS 2007 as there are cons. To start with, Chevrolet’s economical coupe, which comes for quite a decent price, is upgraded to a great extent using a supercharged 2-liter, four-cylinder which supersedes the generic 145-horsepower and 2.2-liter version. Also, an optional 171-horsepower and 2.4-liter, four cylinder version is available in the market.

The engine of the 2007 Cobalt SS develops 205 horsepower and an astounding 200 lb.-ft. of torque. For a car that weighs around 2800 pounds, these figures are quite outstanding. To say the obvious, performance goes hand in hand with power. Chevrolet has claimed that the Cobalt SS can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 6.1 seconds. These are numbers which leave jaws hanging.

The Chevrolet Cobalt SS 2007 is sleek, compact and very quick. It gives a hint of torque steer on rough throttling, but is never strong enough to get the car out of the driver’s control. Conclusively, it’s quite difficult to tell when the supercharger kicks in to life. The transition is smooth and not jerky enough as seen in most of the turbochargers.

The Chevrolet “Cobalt” replaced its predecessor “Cavalier” to become the first ever sleek and sporty car in ten years, from its makers, in the year 2005. The Cobalt’s SS coupe version is the super-charged type which is a high performance vehicle, meant for sport utility in general. The Cobalt is a true mean machine which not only looks good but has a monstrous 205 horsepower engine which defines its sports utility. Moreover it has a suspension of such calibre and precision, which could easily outstrip any of its American competitors in the sports utility-coupe league.

The Cobalt SS has a 2-liter, four cylinder, super-charged and intercooled engine with 200 lb-ft torque. Appropriately, it has a robust 5xspeed manual gearbox. All the cobalt models have a generic design in suspension, having struts in the front and torsion-beam in the rear axle. Its detailed perfection is exemplified by the usage of hydraulic bushings. A regular stabilizer in the Cobalt SS, and an all feature long travel, is meant to aggrandize the comfort level of the drive. The Cobalt SS has a more robust tuning, but on the contrary to its design is extremely comfortable. The Cobalt SS not only drives well on the clear race tracks but is very much a car that can be driven on city streets with ease; a quality hard to find in sports utility car of such calibre.
