    Drove a Colbalt SS

    Today I was at the dealer getting my car serviced abd decided I wanted to take a Cobalt SS (non supercharged) for a ride. I rode in one that was a manuel and it was a little quick for what it is. So I get to take it for a ride and I'm not really impressed the 2.4 vvt. The car felt sluggish and not quick at all. Well I get back and he trys to sell me it and have me trade in my two cars for it because he said I liked it. :eyes: The only thing I did like it handled good and the stereo but rest I didn't. I prefer the cars I have over it now.
    I went to another dealer to try to test drive a 06 GTO. They told me that if I was definete on buying it I could drive it because their raere and have 400 hp. Thing is if I did have interest how would I know if I want it if I can't drive it.

    I drove the 2.4 SS not the 2.0 supercharged. I wouldve drove the 2.0 but they only come in 5 speeds and iI can't drive sticks.

    weird...wonder why did GM did that. You'd think they'd just throw a blower on the 2.4...but then again it's GM, who knows why they do half the crap they do

    I never tried to. I don't think the dealer will like to show me either.
    There won't be any clutch left.

    Keep in mind it's two different motors. I'm sure the 2.4 is dtronger than the non-supercharged 2.0.

    But...they should have put the S/C on the 2.4
    I hear next year they're going with a turbo on the 2.4 like the sky and solstice. That one will be good for 240bhp

    It will be easy to learn. Clutch will not be burned out what a better way to learn than on a test drive...

    My cousin owned one and took me for a test ride. If I ever bought one I'd learn to drive the stick because the auto is terrible.
