coming from someone that has owned one. not to rag on you or anything but i know that you didnt get 297 to the wheels in a cobalt ss and you didnt do it on a stock clutch. mine went out with just a pulley upgrade. the cobalt ss was the biggest piece of **** that GM has ever made. their main problem was their cats and that they didnt use forged pistons. my cat ended up getting clogged and then the number 1 and 4 piston side walls broke, thats right broke with only 13k miles on the car. just by looking at what GM is claiming that they have in the engine, they didnt fix the piston problem. this car is going to fail bad. if they do come out with it i hope that it does a better time then 14.1 in the 1/4, the supercharged ones ran a 14.4 with only 205hp and this one claims 260. GM doesnt know what they are doing when it comes to forced induction. the last car had too many problems, i dont understand why they are making another one. i hope that no one on here is looking to buy one, if you are please talk to me first or atleast check out what people are saying on this web site cobaltss.net. you will see all of the people that have had the same problem that i had. well thats my .02.
