Stoney Baker I use to whoop so much ass in my turbo balt. One with full boltons n tune can beat pretty much anything with 400whp or less on the road. I even beat scat pack chargers up to about 155mph
I got a stock 06 sc... I never did anything to it due to always getting in trouble lol... but I wanna tune it now... where should I start? any advice appreciated :)
Depends how much $$$ you want to spend but the gm stage upgrades are a good place to start, suspension, maybe even covert it to a turbo if you've got some $ to burn. I've got two Cobalts a 2006 LS with the L61 since brand new(which have grown to love this platform from her) with just basic bolts on's like cai, 2.25" exhaust manifold back w/high flow cat, short shifter, jet maf sensor, front strut brace, Bosch +4 spark plugs, power stop rotors and pads. My other cobalt is a 2010 SS/TC for a few years now with k&n/aem upgraded short ram intake, xs 3" turbo back and will do the gm stage 1 upgrade soon along with suspension and brakes. since this will be my Sunday driver and my 2006 will have a fully built ecotec(not sure but leaning towards an LSJ block for mpfi) will be my project.
Cobalt is shit. Chevy needed it to boost their mpg ratings for the epa. Their main money is in their trucks. My ecotec suffered the infamous timing chain failure. Built cheap, sold cheap
OFFICIAL NSA your stupid it’s direct injection is powerful you trendy moron you don’t know anything about how engines work probably an idiot that thinks engine size wins races this car has various advantages over the gtr it’s lighter it has a coolant boost intake and exhaust modes with performance chip and gdi oil with a race filter and magnesium rims and a special suspension system and plenty of traction an awd won’t help it cuase the car has no weight in the back the awd would just weigh it down
you can with good fab knowledge and some research...theres civics running awd k series kits off honda elements and honda pilots pushing 7s and 8s on the track. there are even aftermarket companies like humble performance selling bolt on rear trailing arm kits for the rear diff. and mounts, im pretty sure these kits could work on a cobalt.
I have had a 2006 supercharged Cobalt and the 2008 Turbo and dozens of other high perf cars including turbo mustangs, tunnel rammed 460 cars with nitrous etc etc etc and one of my fav all around cars was that Turbo SS Cobalt. Like a little razor blade in traffic. If I drove easy it would get incredibly good mileage and when it was go time the car was fast enough to get it done. The engineering in the SS Turbo Cobalt was top notch. I drive a 2014 Mustang GT now because its a more comfortable for my commute but I wish I still had that Cobalt. First GM with Direct Injection, way more power per litre than almost any GM car including new Z07. Don't knock it until you actually have driven one...
I love my 09, my last car was a 08 zo6 and had an 04 zo6 before as well. I honestly must say my cobalt is so much fun and it pulls as hard as my 04 zo6 in its current tune. Fantastic power for the money. Great little car.
Bought a J-body with the, then new 2 .2 Ecotec. Each of my three kiddos drove it. I still got it. And it still gets it. Delta platform seems to iron out suspension issues. The J's on launch, squat aft pretty bad. Mulling a set of KYB Adjustables. But I'm old. My kidneys don't like the bumps.
No shit , the little cobalt that could , I've put 200 thousand dollar cars to shame on a stock turbo cobalt with e85 and bolt ons. Get real people. Cobalts aren't some fucking joke if done right.
mikeflemming711 it's kind of a shame, really. The datsus is actually a nice car - it's throngs of playstation racer fanboys give it such a bad name though.
That's a fast ass cobalt straight up. I will always love and enjoy v8's more than any other engine but it's insane what the 4cyl can do these days along with the v6. No hate just trying to respect all fast bad ass cars no matter what make they are our what they got under the hood.
Cobalt's are pretty underrated. The other a Cobalt SS did a quick fly-by and to be honest, it the scared the shit out of me. Wasn't expecting that loud of a supercharger whine and the crackles in the exhaust. They're pretty cool cars if you set them up right!
As a Ford guy I don't like to admit it, but a friend of mine has an '09 Cobalt SS (one that has the stock turbo and not a s/c) and that thing is SUPER fun to drive and surprisingly quick!
B0SSNINE right with ya on that. Quick little bugger. Thought my ST would blow right past this cobalt... stayed dead even the whole time. Props to Chevy on this car
That's the same guy in that corvette before he ported his supercharger and installed a 250 shot of NOS. Making 1200hp to the wheels on a dry humid day!
***** he's 2900lbs, and the gearing is probably very short in the cobalt, the zr1 has gearing to go over 200mph, a zr1 is around 3600lbs and the GTR is heavier besides that he has slicks, weight is a lot more important than you think.
I remember that i once went to a drag race and literally saw a beetle beating a camaro and a little car named caribe (which is the latin american version of the 1980s golf) obliterating a corvette!!! obviously they were tuned as hell, but hey, this class of shows are worth every second.
Nice little quick spool turbo work on traction and shifting it all good all that money for that vett and the extra work in it same for the gtr 2 thumb's up to the man in the cobalt
I just got myself a little LS coupe manual. Nowhere near a sports car, not that fast, but it has plenty of get up and go and most importantly.. it's fun as all hell to drive.
Yeah true for about 2 grand you can turbo it. I forget how cheap these cars are now. I have had mine for 9 years but have the same LS manual. Partly because they are so cheap I couldn't get rid of mine for that because it is worth more to me, so I made it fast instead lol. It's a blast to autocross.
JD B Mine was in a minor accident(hit a deer, dented the hood, slightly bent the radiator core support) and also had a dent from a drunk neighbor kicking the passenger door and the guy I bought it from was about to have twins when he already had two kids so didn't want a couple. Got it for a steal of a price. Fixed up the minor issues. Bam, great car to get to college for the next few years at least. With 141k miles on it I likely won't turbo it, but in the future when I have more money I may end up buying an SS because even the LS is incredibly fun to drive.
I woulda loved to been able to see that GTR owners face when the cobalt beat him🤣 A six figure super car gettin beat by a 4 banger front wheel drive chevy lmao!
It's nice to see a cobalt put to good use. Most of the time I see kids who bolt on an exhaust and a few other things and think the car is fast as shit. Good deal on this guys part.
I have this things sister car, same wheels and all LOL. We're you running the stock F35, or had you swapped for a F23/F40? Just ordered an f40 setup from OTTP, and big turbo from ZZP. Already full bolt ons otherwise.
People in the comments try to act like they know it all and explain everything. Who cares?? It's a dope ass Cobalt that came from nowhere and KICKED ASS.
Wasn't that a Cobalt SS? In what world is a Cobalt SS a sleeper? I raced one on the street once to see what it could do, and damn those things are fast.
Alot of these guys still have stock transmissions and rear ends, when you put more power in the car then you should and then try to dig on a prepped surface their little super cars blow up, its just people with a lot of money taking their toy to the strip.
I had a pretty built SS silverado and my buddies Cobalt SS absolutely shit on me. It was a while later that I found out that the damn thing was only 3,000 pounds to my 5,500 lol. Power to weight ratio baby!

I wanna see more of that cobalt. Not many people build them. I think its badass and unsuspecting
check out on youtube snobalt vs gtr alpha
Will do thanks man!
Stoney Baker mines built and youre right....NO ONE sees it coming lol
uh, everyone builds them. I only know of a few that are still stock lol. WAAAAAAY more rare to find them stock than modified.
Stoney Baker I use to whoop so much ass in my turbo balt. One with full boltons n tune can beat pretty much anything with 400whp or less on the road. I even beat scat pack chargers up to about 155mph
Cobalt is an underestimated car, could've been way better if Chevy made it Awd
I got a stock 06 sc... I never did anything to it due to always getting in trouble lol... but I wanna tune it now... where should I start? any advice appreciated :)

Yo tengo el Chevy cobaltl 2006 es una chulada
still dont get why people underestimate the cobalts.
Because it's usually driven by ricer kids who are forced to buy domestic. Not all cobalt and srt-4 drivers are ricers, but many are.
It doesn't matter what car you have, you can make all cars go fast in a strait line.
***** Of course you can make it faster. Different engine in it, and you are done
osp80 this is a LSJ
No shit , the little cobalt that could , I've put 200 thousand dollar cars to shame on a stock turbo cobalt with e85 and bolt ons. Get real people. Cobalts aren't some fucking joke if done right.
Funny thing is ..the cobalt doesn't get hate like a Honda civic or w.e...cobalt gets mad props !
Your drunk bud people mad hate on the cobalts too. I get lots of flack for owning one. Especially being its not the juiced up turbo or super'd model
There is no aftermarket support for colbalts... No serious one. You gotta build em
all it gets is jdm fanboys saying "iT CoPPieD thE R34 TailLIgHts iTs tRYinG tO Be gOOd lIkE JDM"
Civics are like basic chicks they’re just passed around
@@bakedcornbread9093, ever hear of ZZP?
Makes me so proud.
#cobaltnation
Yea boyy
Yup
0:05 drakes first cousin?!
Facts
GT-R guy was overestimating his power level
Interesting how no one is bitching about the ZR1 and its mods...
mikeflemming711 it's kind of a shame, really. The datsus is actually a nice car - it's throngs of playstation racer fanboys give it such a bad name though.
It wasn't over 9000.
I see what you did there.
Kyle Tatum under 9000?
Why would you eat a hot dog with nothing on it...
Did you not see the bun??? hahaha
***** damn track food
usually the cheap ass hockey puck burgers at the dirt track i worked at were the best.
Probably because hungry. Needed food right then. No time for extra stuff.
Ketchup weight reduction, race car thinking
Another instance of power to weight beating shear power...
That's a fast ass cobalt straight up. I will always love and enjoy v8's more than any other engine but it's insane what the 4cyl can do these days along with the v6. No hate just trying to respect all fast bad ass cars no matter what make they are our what they got under the hood.
Exactly. That balt is a bad bitch.
Never saw this video but damn that Cobalt was badass especially from a young kid, he definitely knows what he's doing, bright future as well.
Nice...Ecotec...hopefully this video helps people understand that these are serious engines..
Am I the ONLY person to laugh at that guy at 0:07
you aren't alone! :)
Deerrr... 720
I didn't laugh, just got pissed, but I know what you're saying.
Lmao yeah that was funny
laughing at his accent and the way he talks? at least he owns a GTR and speaks 2 languages ;)
8 years later... I just started building an '09 SS.
Good race with the cobalt and corvette
Cobalt's are pretty underrated. The other a Cobalt SS did a quick fly-by and to be honest, it the scared the shit out of me. Wasn't expecting that loud of a supercharger whine and the crackles in the exhaust. They're pretty cool cars if you set them up right!
there are actually alot of respectable cobalts out there. glad to see one of my cars on 1320!
I drive a cobalt stock but getting a turbo for it soon
As a Ford guy I don't like to admit it, but a friend of mine has an '09 Cobalt SS (one that has the stock turbo and not a s/c) and that thing is SUPER fun to drive and surprisingly quick!
B0SSNINE right with ya on that. Quick little bugger. Thought my ST would blow right past this cobalt... stayed dead even the whole time. Props to Chevy on this car
wish my cobalt looked that badass
Finally I love the cobalt since nfs nw
daaaaayuummm that race at the end was balls deep. great vid
That thing rolls hard for the amount of power it makes. HATE those cars with a passion, but huge props
those little four bangers get out pretty damn quick
>Low profile tyres on cobalt
This guy is a visionary
thank you for uploading daily
All quick cars. Would love to own anyone of them.
Why didn't anyone laugh when he said his turbo has an "extended tip"?
His power level is over 9000...........
9000?!
Don't SSleep Dragonball
Your turbo is going nice and strong!
That's the same guy in that corvette before he ported his supercharger and installed a 250 shot of NOS. Making 1200hp to the wheels on a dry humid day!
Not really much of a sleeper with those fuckin drag radials, but in the beginning at :06 i couldnt stop laughing for half the video.
Went back and watched. Can't say I get it.
I think he was laughing because of the accent.
I hate cobalts......but HELL YEAH! That's what I'm talking about right there. Stuff you'd never think of, hauling arse.
Good catch!
for a 700+AWHP GTR ..that is damn slow..sounds more like a light tuned setup to me..prolly 600hp?
Like 600 at the crank. No way a 450 hp cobalt is going to beat two "700" hp cars
600whp gtr is already faster than 650hp zr1
***** just did. That's what he's making I know for a fact.
That's what I was thinking...that guy prolly didn't even dyno his car..
***** he's 2900lbs, and the gearing is probably very short in the cobalt, the zr1 has gearing to go over 200mph, a zr1 is around 3600lbs and the GTR is heavier besides that he has slicks, weight is a lot more important than you think.

Don't sleep on the Ecotec's :D. Good vid. I got a Balt myself
Incredible cobalt 🔥
Nice little quick spool turbo work on traction and shifting it all good all that money for that vett and the extra work in it same for the gtr 2 thumb's up to the man in the cobalt
Holy crap! That's awesome.
I feel like the camera man was staring at the hotdog laughing while he was waving that thing around
Makes me proud as a Cobalt owner especially when I can out torque a brand new mustang to 60mph
Jesus did that ZR1 ever sound amazing
Makes me a proud cobalt owner
That colbalt took off a full two seconds before the GTR did. It was getting reeled in so quick
what race were u watching, it didn't get realed in at all
tomjw7 By the end of the quarter mile he caught up so much lmao
the zr1 did the gtr didn't catch up as much.
cobalt is the shit! got one myself..
I just got myself a little LS coupe manual. Nowhere near a sports car, not that fast, but it has plenty of get up and go and most importantly.. it's fun as all hell to drive.
You can make it fast lol
JD B Sure. For thousands of dollars. I bought a $1,700 car for a reason. I'm broke.
Yeah true for about 2 grand you can turbo it. I forget how cheap these cars are now. I have had mine for 9 years but have the same LS manual. Partly because they are so cheap I couldn't get rid of mine for that because it is worth more to me, so I made it fast instead lol. It's a blast to autocross.

I just got an hhr today and this car give me hope.
Fun fact; 90% of people hate being passed by a Cobalt
Surprised to see a Cobalt puttin in that kinda work on the S252!
Thanks 4 the turbo in the car works great
P.s. the supersaab is at 30 psi e85 with newer setup
Gtr n cobalts are badass
When was this? I live 2 miles from royal purple and never heard about this event
Love how people keep underestimating cobalts ss, and putting them down, then they get rapped by one and it's even better lol
Cobalt is like the SRT4, you'll be killing it from 30-110 then it just starts to shit after that
I woulda loved to been able to see that GTR owners face when the cobalt beat him🤣 A six figure super car gettin beat by a 4 banger front wheel drive chevy lmao!
Such a kid car but thats why they rock. Best chev in the last 10 years. Affordable. Fun. No pretense.
Cobalt driver looked blazed lol
An AWD swapped cobalt with a procharged vortec would be fun
It's nice to see a cobalt put to good use. Most of the time I see kids who bolt on an exhaust and a few other things and think the car is fast as shit. Good deal on this guys part.
Lol one guy with AWD and one guy with drag radials and they go from a roll at a drag strip! Now I've seen it all!
The irony of this video is that the Cobalt and the Corvette have the same steering wheel lmao
Veteran need for speed most wanted OG 2005 plays know this ain’t a car to underestimate or mess with 🔥🔥🔥
First time I've seen a cobalt on this channel
This was from street cars take over Houston in Baytown last year....I have the same race on my phone
GTR's are a bad ass piece of machinery, but the car drives itself lol I can put my dog in the car and he can drive it 😂
The Vette won but MAN!! That Cobalt, though!!
Did the zr1 or cobalt win?! Also why roll race on a drag strip????
I have this things sister car, same wheels and all LOL.
We're you running the stock F35, or had you swapped for a F23/F40? Just ordered an f40 setup from OTTP, and big turbo from ZZP. Already full bolt ons otherwise.
wtf, thats gotta be one of the fastest cobalts in the world lol fuck...
Not even close actually. Fastest cobalt turbo does mid 9's. None of these cars including the ZR did under mid 11's
+Michael Harris yeah...but only one of em had four cylinders...and costs tens of thousands less...
I had an 09 cobalt as Hahn race craft fbo and 26 psi tune.
that car is sick
That cobalt is sweet.
Wowowowow, hold up. You have a ZR1??? Waaat.
I own a Cobalt, although not the SS, it's still enjoyable to drive it, will be putting work into it to improve it.
i think that GT-R was stock looked slow as hell compared to that cobalt
The Cobalt is the American ricer...and I would hate to lose to that.
how old was the kid you were talking to with the cobalt. he seemed pretty young, looked around 21-23 to me
He's 19. That's my boy. He was driving that night.
TURBOLSJBALT06 damn that's awesome at 19. good for him, he's got a badass cobalt
TheMainMan318 what’s his name ?? I wanna know more about the build
wtf it was a few seconds before the Gtr realized "oh shit maybe I should floor it now"
that zr1 owner is the coolest guy ever ha
damn the cobalt moves
Just paid off my cobalt ss, might go this turbo
People in the comments try to act like they know it all and explain everything. Who cares?? It's a dope ass Cobalt that came from nowhere and KICKED ASS.
Love my cobalt and my old cavalier. They're not a bad little car. Even better with a real engine.
s252 spooling up quick just shittin n gettin
Yeeahhh cobalts representn!!!
looks like that one gear is perfect for that car, once he shifts it can't pull the same. still cool to shock people
what this during IFO cuz i didnt see that gtr but i did see the cobalt
Wasn't that a Cobalt SS? In what world is a Cobalt SS a sleeper? I raced one on the street once to see what it could do, and damn those things are fast.
Is this the same cobalt that got blew up cause someone put nitrous directly into the intake?
nice run for cobalt I'm building one now
that soundes like Fez in the GTR at the beginning of the vid..
Cobalt for the win
What camera are these videos being filmed on
It’s funny cause mine makes 440 wheel so it’s nice to know that I would be right where he’s at because my build is identical to his
Glad you decided to keep the car
roll racing on a professional drag strip = PATHETIC
shut up bitch stop crying
beastson what an educated response, you must be so proud of your 4th grade level education
Alot of these guys still have stock transmissions and rear ends, when you put more power in the car then you should and then try to dig on a prepped surface their little super cars blow up, its just people with a lot of money taking their toy to the strip.
JU5TBL4ZE a person with a tag name like that, you are gonna go FAR in life.
no not really, flip those burgers boy
***** i am cute as fuck
kyle got a new camera !!!
Cobalt with ZZPerformance parts! Fast & Cheap!
More sleepers/everyday cars!
Sleeper Cobalt is fishing!
Cobalt is a beast to jump out on a gtr like that nice
I had a pretty built SS silverado and my buddies Cobalt SS absolutely shit on me. It was a while later that I found out that the damn thing was only 3,000 pounds to my 5,500 lol. Power to weight ratio baby!
Mid 400 horsepower at 29 pounds!? Bullshit! That guy is making way more than that at 29 pounds
