Nice 08! Beautiful color, I, too, have a red 08 that I've been modding. So far, I'm about 400 to the wheel & almost ready to really crank it up. I came across those unicorn stage 3 cams that are going in soon. Love to see those Cobalts out there! Thanks for sharing :)
@@superbrowndudenational_trx I remember you from back in the OCC days, awesome that you still got it. I still have my 2010 and I’m heading to tail of the dragon in 2 weeks
Love the car, they're so rare and there's not much content on these anymore online. My first performance car was a brand new 2007 Supercharged SS.. Life circumstances didn't allow me to keep it but a few months ago I purchased a 2009 Turbo SS the same color as yours with 40k miles in mint condition that took me years to find. I am excited to modify it this summer. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks man! It's been a solid 16 years with it. Thus was also my first performance and new car I had bought as well. Glad you were able to find a mint LNF in the best color as well! Very few of them are left! Happy modding 🤙🏾
I really don't seem many of these SS Cobalts at many shows in the past. I have a '09 SS panel with the automatic. Its no solch on take off. Its in that rare Aqua Blue Metallic one of nine in that color ordered new 14 years ago.
Nice man, same kinda story. I bought 2005 SS SC victory red when I was in my 20s. Stage 2 gmpp, upgraded brakes, hurst shifter, rims, halo led headlights, torque dampener, typhoon KN ,blackcat custom guages, G85 pgk with 108,000 km on engine. Not a turbo beast but is really fun. 260hp / 14.5 lbs boost.
Hey that's awesome man, tasteful mods and low km's to! These cars were definitely something special in that era of time. Those are pretty decent numbers to!
Super brown dude! Damn I remember you from occ days been to a few meets with you there back in the day. If you ever consider selling I have a buddy who would be fair with you.
@superbrowndudenational_trx chipskey. I'm with the London group. I used to have a red 06 cobalt ss sc with gawdy ass rtx rims lol I recently purchased a 09 coablt ss turbo sedan
Oh sweet dude your pretty damn local to me. Shoot me a message on my IG, I host a couple private track days at Grand Bend. Also check out the Facebook Group Stratford Cruises!
The hood only helps the radiator and intercooler, I doubt it'll help much with cooling the turbo since it doesn't allow a sealed engine bay to force air down the firewall where thr turbo is located while in motion. Eah I love the look or I'd get one myself. I do want to get a hood scope for mine though for that reason but doee help prevent all that intercooler/radiator from recycling into the engine bay. BUT there is a lot in the way of the turbo that'll slow down the airflow over the turbo anyways. Eah! Maybe a sidewinder setup I'll might go with.
The hood is nice for extracting some heat from the motor, it's also light as well which is useful as well. The turbo on these cars are so tucked away as well, which is not ideal. However everything works well together, it's had the same tune for about 12 years now.
@@superbrowndudenational_trx good to hear mang! Yeah I wish I could of got my 2010 brand new but I got it with about 50k on the odometer at 6 years old and I'm the 3rd owner so I really got a decent deal and still loving my SS/LNF 7 years later and only drive it in the summer and try to avoid the rain but kinda hard to do here in alaska when rain can pop up out of nowhere at time. LOL
I bought the hood about 10 years ago from a fourm member... When fourms were a thing. Lol. It's not a perfect fit, adjusting the bump stops helped a bit to!
Ive got a cobalt lt that im modding as a daily i can learn autocross on. Ive bought a lsj engine and could supercharge it but im just worried about fuel economy and longevity. What kind of fuel economy do you get because after all these years it cant be the oem still?
just bought an 09 already set up with a bigger intercooler and zzp cold air intake. looking to do what i can to increase hp to 300 without a tune what would you say i should do next?
Unfortunately anything that you do will not benefit without a tune, as the ecu has a learn down feature that needs to be unlocked. Intake, exhaust and mild tune would be the best bet.
@@superbrowndudenational_trx thats good to know i totally wouldve wasted my money and gotten cucked by that if you didnt tell me. i guess ill do mods first then have it tuned for what ive installed. it shouldnt taken much to get to 300 from what ive heard
Jesus christ man, lmao. I totally forgot how high it went! I feel like it would be total wheel spin for a tuned balt! Or broken axles if your running slicks!
............if you ever sell it, it would like to the brothers/sisters in my fleet, one LNF/F35 & one L61/F23. pretty please? lol i'm hording cobalts now, lol. i'm sure the only alaskan cobalt horder in the state. lol
@CarsWithFrank Trifecta was one of the first tunes available in 09. It was a bit limited and I wanted more. The current HP tune has been on it for about 13 years now.

That's awesome man, 400 to the wheel is definitely gonna hurt some feelings roll racing! Those cams are gonna be sweet dude! Thanks for the comment 🤙🏾
Those stage 3 cams are just stage 2s with reluctors clocked. Nothing special. I can clock stage 2s in my garage to make into 3s lol.
@@zgarner96 interesting, I guess you could with the right equipment & the expertise. But, I find alot easier on just buying them
This cobalt is freaking beautiful
Thanks man 🙏🏾
Gorgeous Cobalt SS, I'm glad you decided not to sell it. It's your car, thus, it's your build, ALSO thus, it's your art!
Thanks man, I definitely learned alot about that car over the years. It was the first standard car that I had owned!
Beautiful SS bro! The condition is unreal, pristine in and out 🔥
Thanks man, it's been a solid 15 years! Underneath the the car is equally clean to!

Mannn😍😍😍 keep this thing!!
It's looking that way, fo sho!
I love this car in NFS Most Wanted🙏
Such a classic game!
Nice cobalt its super clean. I have a 2009 Cobalt SS running 320hp, its a super fun car to have. How can you tell what the whp is??
Sweet dude, what tune is on it? You need to dyno the car to know the wheel torque and horsepower
The hood only helps the radiator and intercooler, I doubt it'll help much with cooling the turbo since it doesn't allow a sealed engine bay to force air down the firewall where thr turbo is located while in motion. Eah I love the look or I'd get one myself. I do want to get a hood scope for mine though for that reason but doee help prevent all that intercooler/radiator from recycling into the engine bay.

I'd subbed only for the delta!
Oh sweet dude, I honestly didn't think anyone would care about it lol!
@@superbrowndudenational_trx theres a decent size delta plateform community out there. we love our cobalts/hhr's lol
Hey man beautiful car where’d you buy that hood? And did you have to do any tweaks to make the hood fit good?
I bought the hood about 10 years ago from a fourm member... When fourms were a thing. Lol. It's not a perfect fit, adjusting the bump stops helped a bit to!
I'm glad you didint sell it she is still a beautiful ride when are you gonna change the axles out ???????????????????????????????????????????????????
My guy 🤙🏾
She’s minty fresh 👌🏽
You really need to chill on blowing trannies though 😂
Hells yah man!
Ouuuffff, one day lol
What's your exhaust setup? I own a 09 lnf and mine doesn't sound as yours with the cutout open😆 Catless downpipe, stock res & stock muffler
Hey buddy, I have a ZZP Catless downpipe, Turbo XS exhaust with a QTP cutout! The cutout is basically welded into the downpipe!
Beautiful car! Who did your tune? I've got the same mods on my '09, but with a ZZP tune, and I'm only at around 300whp
My tune was done from a local guy back in 2010, his forum name was SSKEV, I'm not even sure if he's still tunning.
Ive got a cobalt lt that im modding as a daily i can learn autocross on. Ive bought a lsj engine and could supercharge it but im just worried about fuel economy and longevity. What kind of fuel economy do you get because after all these years it cant be the oem still?
Still OEM internals and Turbo. It's still excellent on fuel. Do your build, keep it mild and you will be fine.
@@superbrowndudenational_trx okay sweet thanks, all i need is one more grand for the zzp kit and ima have some more power and a timing chain lol

@georgessteinberg9799 no problem, it definitely won't take much to get to 300whp.
How did u put on the catch can
That's a long time ago, pretty sure it's the back of the valve cover area lol.
Launch control holds the RPMs at 5000, not 2500. And man, are these cars ever fun to launch! Lol
Jesus christ man, lmao. I totally forgot how high it went! I feel like it would be total wheel spin for a tuned balt! Or broken axles if your running slicks!
How’s the reliability saw a 2009 for sale with 83k miles for 6,500 gonna offer 5k cash what ya thinking
They are pretty good, check for maintenance records tho.
What exhaust do you have
ZZP Downpipe, QTP electric cutout and a Turbo XS Exhaust
............if you ever sell it, it would like to the brothers/sisters in my fleet, one LNF/F35 & one L61/F23. pretty please? lol i'm hording cobalts now, lol. i'm sure the only alaskan cobalt horder in the state. lol
Whoa dude! That's awesome and crazy! Drop me a message on IG to keep in touch!
Good first car?
No, first car was a 94 Buick Regal, then a 96 Sunfire, the a 95 Buick Regal. The balt was my first new car!
@@superbrowndudenational_trx Im asking if a cobalt ss is a good first car for me :)
Lots of power, take your time learning it.
@awepossum1059 no too much power. But good first performance car.
4* piston calipers
Thanks, got them confused with my 6 piston Wilwoods on my Grand National.
@@superbrowndudenational_trx what made you move on from the Trifecta tune?
@CarsWithFrank Trifecta was one of the first tunes available in 09. It was a bit limited and I wanted more. The current HP tune has been on it for about 13 years now.
4piston not 6
