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 :)

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.

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.

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 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......

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.

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:

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 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?

you'd be hard pressed to get a good deal on a used ss. might as well just lease a new one.

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.
