Chevy Cobalt

[garland]

redline: ~2900 lbs
cobalt ss: ~3200 lbs

Funny how those steel body panels kill the weight.

Another funny thing is they put those bigger rims, more weight and different tires on the suspension and didn't even go back to retest it at nurenburgring.. so most likely it will be very disjointed since they're just slapping big bling bling rims + more weight for crappier balance/handling. Will probably ride like crap.

i'll take my redline any day over the cobalt based on looks alone. also the 18's are a little much for that car as i'm sure they're not ultra-lightweight rims coming stock. personally, i think 17's are a bit unescessary, but they help the "look" of the car greatly

Dont forget the dent resistant panels

And the suicide doors come in handy

the suicide doors are great, i use them every day. only problem is when you are parked real close to someone, it's a hassle to get stuff out.

and i'll never have to worry about a door ding, too bad they're discontinuing the plastic, i would've loved it on the sky

I agree with the comment about the 17's, they just wanted it to apeal to the tuner crowd... oh well ,Im grabbing some l series 15's for the track !! Same bolt pattern and offset. Not sure on which tires im gonna buy tho.

Will 15's fit over those huge brakes?

yeah, and if so, sounds like we've got a CHEAP alternative for winter tires
