cobalt weight...?

[loki]

yes, using msn autos, it says the ss coupe is almost 200lbs lighter than the base ls coupe. anyone know why?

[ToniCipriani]

Sound deadening materials maybe? Makes sense for maunfacturers to cut it down on performance trims.

No heavy steelies, 2.4 a bit lighter...

that's it.

[gerardo]

But 2.2 is aluminium also.

True, but they changed something on the 2.4...and I can't remember what.

I do know that they are still very close.

MSN auto is crap...wrong numbers. No Coblat sedan weighs 3200lbs. They have some right numbers though.

And they say 15.92 90.80 for a 5 speed 2 dr 2.4L? Pft...

I did 15.72 @ 921.68 MPH AT 3490 FT above sea-level. So its alot faster then a 15.9

avro, i know (msn autos is crap), but chevy.com doesn't have any more than 2 numbers, one for coupe/sedan ls to ss, and one for the ss/sc.

i did have them correct themselves on the g6 I4 info... they say they get thier info from the respectful company... i can copy that e-mail on here if you care. the info before said that the I4 had 8 valves and was OHV

Man, with that trap speed I would think you'd be running the quarter in single digits!
