Chevy Cobalt

The Chevy Cobalt SS Turbo is a snazzy little car that lives up to its name.  While the Chevy Cobalt Turbo system is standard equipment for the SS model, many drivers choose to install aftermarket turbo systems to trick out their cars even farther.

Standard Chevy Cobalt Turbo System

The Chevy Cobalt SS Turbo comes with a standard 2.0 liter 260 horsepower four-cylinder direct fuel injection engine and five speed manual transmission.  This little car also spits out 260 pounds of torque, making it a speed demon as you fly down the road.  Comfortable and easy to maneuver, the SS Turbo hugs the hills and curves of the road.

In addition to speed – pick-up kicks in at the midrange of torque giving this little car lots of zip – the SS Turbo goes from zero to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds.

Aftermarket Turbo Systems

For Chevy Cobalt owners who want to further trick out their rides, aftermarket turbo systems may be one of the options to check out.  Aftermarket Chevy Cobalt turbo systems are widely available by companies like Hahn RaceCraft.  Hahn RaceCraft is one of the best known manufacturers of aftermarket turbo systems and they frequently customize cars that are shown in national car shows or race cars.  Starting in 2002, Hahn RaceCraft began customizing turbocharged Ecotech engines for GM cars, starting with the 2002 Cavalier Attitude project, which was a custom race car that was on display at the SEMA Car Show.  Since then, Hahn RaceCraft has provided custom aftermarket turbo systems for numerous cars, both for racing teams and for private individuals.

You can find Hahn RaceCraft aftermarket turbo systems at many car customization shops and from online dealers.

Summary

Regardless of whether you choose to stay with the standard Chevy Cobalt Turbo system or to install an aftermarket turbo system, your Chevy Cobalt will definitely be a car that has plenty of zip and zoom.  This is a wonderful small car that has loads of personality and is fun to drive along country roads or down the highway with your hair flying in the wind.
