Agent248 06-02-2006, 07:23 PM I don't have any pics right now, but i've changed my 03 Mustang GT for my Cobalt. Didn't have anything against the mustang, but the winter month made me change my mind :)

So which is more fun?
Which is faster?
If not the cobalt is it close?
gretty_d 06-02-2006, 08:14 PM Don't have any pics but I traded my 95 Beretta Z26 (black).
oldbenwa 06-02-2006, 11:28 PM No pics here either, but traded my 02 Cavalier LS for my SS/SC. Holy hell, nice trade up. :D :D
i didn't trade anything. i kept my '03 ram and got this. between the car payment, insurance payment, and gas... i save money by not driving the ram. it was 800 bucks just for gas for the ram every month.
Markmets415 06-03-2006, 03:51 AM traded in a 2001 malibu :eek:

i'm selling my cobalt for a 2G Eclipse GST:D
asyferme 06-03-2006, 12:14 PM A 87,000 original mile 1992 GMC Sonoma GT black/black (#359 out of 806 built), and a 2002 Yamaha R6 factory blue/white.
FWIW: I recently had a 2000 Mustang GT 5spd with only a timing adjuster, and short-throw shifter. Best I ran in this car was a 13.647 @ 102.12 at ATCO, NJ a couple years back; still have the timeslip. This was on a set of $30 Futura (Pep Boys) 225/60/15 all-season radials. Anyway, my '06 SS S/C 'feels' quicker off the line; and to be honest, handles much better.
ItalianJoe1 06-03-2006, 12:59 PM Almost traded my toyota, 1993 tercel, but instead added a flamethrower kit to that and kept it as a toy.
Militarywoman 06-03-2006, 01:29 PM a pink 04 cavalier base!!!! thats right pink is evil!! i miss my baby sometimes :P
Show Off 06-03-2006, 02:17 PM A 03 chevy silverado with about 2k in stereo, bull bar, tonnue cover, step bars and shocks. anthor 3 in performance parts: intake, H.O. alernator, exhaust, header mafs, programmers elect fan. i still have the engine parts sitting at home, never used, anyone wants: cam, springs, retainers, seats, lifters. (all cranecams)let me know.
at the time i had to get rid of it for gas, was costing over a houndered a week. (had to run 91 oct. and i drove 80 miles a day)
wyoming_bass 06-03-2006, 03:01 PM I traded in my fully loaded 99 GMC Sierra Z71
Brandon2.4 06-03-2006, 03:15 PM 97 Cavalier Z24 w/koni struts, goldline springs, powerslot rotors/hawk pads, intake, auto trans interceptor (ever seen an auto chirp shifting into 2nd? :)), all infinity speakers, and tint. i'll post a pic later
Agent248 06-03-2006, 09:57 PM So which is more fun?

Personally, i prefer the cobalt on the mustang... Performance wise, they are both close (stock for stock), but the cobalt is more confortable, have larger trunk and is drivable in the winter month (in like 2 feet of snow here) :)
It's my opinion anyway.
i'm selling my cobalt for a 2G Eclipse GST:D
you're getting rid of you're cobalt heather? can i buy your cf hood? :D
Landonelf 06-04-2006, 11:12 PM I traded in a 2000 3.8L Camaro with the RS body package. It had a $1700 memphis sound system and one of those $399 dollar pioneer premier head units. Also, 18" chrome rims, interior neons, leather, power everything, flowmasters, slp ram air intake, and whisper lid.
GREAT car but not alot of potential for performance mods and my warranty was almost up. Only 73,500 miles. It got sold the week i traded it in. It actually passed me going the other way, i felt like i was being cheated on......
steddy2112 06-04-2006, 11:25 PM '97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
Man was that fucker fun...but checked the tranny fluid and it was foaming like a rabid racoon...and that was after i had to replace the Dana rear...i was just a tad hard on her, but she loved every minute of it.
But...

Show Off 06-05-2006, 12:16 AM hey how did that scion run? i heard they are pretty descent.
Ahriman 06-05-2006, 04:20 AM hey how did that scion run? i heard they are pretty descent.
they are ok if you like slow cars that look fast. :eek: but the as far as i can tell from a couple of friends that drive em, they are reliable and built with quality in mind. interior is nice, and every thing is solid/clean looking. not bad cars IMO, just slow... evn the supercharged tc's are slow.
oh ya and... i sold my 97 t-bird to my father so i could buy my RL. I loved my t-bird, but it was too damn big and slugish, even with the v8. my dad loves it though... hes got a thing for t-birds, i think he had one when he was young or somthing.
RYCobaltSS 06-05-2006, 07:42 AM omg, i guess so far ive got the oldest trade in, got 500 smakaroo's for it too...lol
i traded a 1988 oldsmobile "delta 88" thats right 1988...thing was 17yrs old lol....but well worth the 500 bucks plus the mazda differential that was in the trunk..lol.
its been rough for me growing up, first car 73' olds. station wagon, 89' (4cyl) mustang, 89 ford aerostar..(yea a minivan)...92' mazda 626, 88' delta 88 and now my sweetest ride ever my 06' cobalt ss
Show Off 06-05-2006, 09:43 AM well grats on the nice ride... i habve it rough too, no ss here. my first car was a 81 ford ltd, peice of shit is what it wasm i worked all summer for it and didnt get payed once. ended up driving my moms pthfinder if she was kind. only reason y i had that truck was a bad accident i should of died in, so i sued.
Brandon2.4 06-05-2006, 10:02 AM hey how did that scion run? i heard they are pretty descent.
I've seen them run low 16 high15's. and seen a supercharged one run a 14.9.
Show Off 06-05-2006, 10:22 AM better then a stock cobalt..
Badmunky 06-06-2006, 07:46 AM I traided a 97 cavalier RS with z24 kit on it. i got 3K for it and it had 147K on it.
Still ran great though.

dabears 06-08-2006, 01:00 PM 2004 Chevy Silverado EXT cab Z71. Needed better gas mileage.
xravenwingsx 06-08-2006, 02:37 PM Nuthin...paid cash. :cool:
victory_red_SS 06-08-2006, 03:03 PM Okay try to follow this. I was driving a 97 Cavalier, gave that to a niece, bought a 05 Blazer w\cash, hated it with a passion (gas pig) gave the blazer to my wife and traded her 04 Subaru Impreza TS wagon (another gas pig) in for the 05 SS and then when we decided to dump the tent trailer for a used motor home the wife swapped the Blazer over for a fully loaded 4dr 05 Sunfire.
Now I realize that by the time I am finished with my engine build it will now be a gas pig too but ooooooooo so fun to drive :D :rolleyes:
1namillion 06-08-2006, 06:04 PM 2004 honda civic lx coupe....haha best car i have ever had when you compare it to engine problems and gas mileage...but i tell you what i ran the hell out of that honda
leviticus88 06-08-2006, 09:54 PM I traded my 2002 Cavalier 2.2l LN2 (Stock) 5spd + My dad wanted to get rid of his 2005 C6 Vette so he used the 3k he got from that to help me get my SS/SC. I still feel bad about him trading in his baby but he didnt want it anymore because it wasn't as fast as a Z06 (Which he couldn't justify). He then bought 3 new dirt bikes 2 days later so i dont feel that bad anymore. PS: I make the payments and Insurance (Not him) FYI
My old Cavi (Not actual one because I dont have any pics)

he only got 3 grand for the vette?
leviticus88 06-08-2006, 11:57 PM he only got 3 grand for the vette?
he had a big loan and since the Z06 came out it depreciated like a biotch.
he had a big loan and since the Z06 came out it depreciated like a biotch.
so he had 3 grand leftover after he paid off the loan then? he didn't only get 3 grand from the dealer, correct?
hexonxonx 06-09-2006, 01:23 PM I traded my 04 sunburst metallic orange cavy LS Sport for my 06 SS/SC. I have some pics on my camera but the batteries dead because I rarely use the camera which is why I don't have any pics of my SS/SC.
quicksilver 06-14-2006, 01:19 PM i traded in my 04 black srt-4. love both cars wish i could have both.
BlackZL1 06-22-2006, 02:59 PM and here I am contemplating on getting rid of my 2000 Trans Am for a Cobalt SS sound silly I think so too
bad93ex 06-22-2006, 03:02 PM and here I am contemplating on getting rid of my 2000 Trans Am for a Cobalt SS sound silly I think so too
Keep the TA and lease a SS S/C for a few years then trade the TA in on a 5th gen. :D
fullthrottle 06-22-2006, 09:28 PM how do you add pics?
how do you add pics?
get a photobucket account
www.photobucket.com
it's free. and upload your pics to it. then use the img tags on there copy them paste em here and there ya go.
BlackZL1 06-23-2006, 01:48 AM yea well im still paying for the TA about 200 bucks a month plus i got other expenses the only reason i was saying is cause I have to start thinking about possibly selling it and getting a used Cobalt SS or something not sure though...

you'd be hard pressed to get a good deal on a used ss. might as well just lease a new one.
Veloom 06-23-2006, 09:08 PM Next week I will be trading in my 99 Grand Prix GT in on a black SS SC.
God I loved that car. After supercharging it and 4 transmissions later it is time to move on. My fastest 1/4 in it was 12.85 @ 107, and I hope to beat that with the Cobalt.
