This Cobalt SS was bought from a dealer in Ohio. A father bought it for his daughter for a graduation present and she didn't like it so he returned it. I am the second owner for that reason. When I bought it, it had about 2000 miles on it. I am an ASE certified technician and also L1 certified, I work on vehicles everyday and this car has been maintained and paid attention to meticulously. This car has never been to the track or raced and beat on. It has never been smoked in. It is truly a cherry pie and in great condition all the way. The following is a list of tasteful upgrades the car has. ZZP intake snorkel and KN drop in filter. ZZP catless downpipe, Dejon upper intercooler piping, and heat wrapped. Forge BOV recirc spring for high boost, it has a big ZZP intercooler. Trifecta Tuned, can be switched on the fly with the cruise master on/off button. Peak boost on tune is 24 psi, factory is like 15 psi. The exhaust is cut off by the rear axle, as I had plans for a 3in all the way back but never did it. It sounds great the way it is and very mean, but quiet at idle and part throttle, as turbo is still a muffler in the system. Performance wise it is basically maxed out for a stock turbo. A lower charge pipe will get you nothing and I've tried a cold air on it, and it hates it due to location of mass airflow sensor. The intake isn't a restriction anyway. It's ready for a big turbo upgrade and a heavy clutch with it. You might be able to get some more with an E85 tune but the car rips ass as is, very close or over 300whp. The car shifts smooth, and there are no leaks anywhere. I've replaced the rear brakes already and flushed all brake fluid. Also flushed the dexcool out with good long life coolant and AC Delco sealer. The oil has literally been changed every 2000 miles with Mobil One full synthetic. Only premium fuel has ever been used. I have also changed the plugs three times already experimenting with different ones. It has autolite iridium xps in it. I used to vacuum dust and debris out of engine bay. I'm a lunatic about this car and I want to make clear that whoever gets it is going to get one of the nicest ones you can find with super low mileage. This is not a vehicle for your 16 yr old sons birthday present. Unless hes obnoxious and you cant stand him. An unexperienced young kid WILL wrap it around a telephone pole. I really dont want to get rid of vehicle, but have a new baby and another vehicle and motorcycle. It sits in my garage and gets driven every once and a while. The only thing it will need soon is front pads and rotors. I also have never done the power steering recall on power steering motor, have never had a slight issue with it though ever. If you want to its free at a GM dealer. Even with all the mods the car has no warning lights and will pass an emissions plug in test anywhere as all readiness monitors are set. Will also pass any state inspection requirement. I live on the west coast of Florida. If you're local and want too see it you can, otherwise you will be responsible for shipping and arrangements..When the money hits the paypal account and I pay off the balance at my Credit union the Treasurer will release title to you. Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee

Tue, Sep 8 2015

General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.

Looking back at the Citation IV concept that likely shaped the GM EV1

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. We're not sure how that applies to the GM EV1, but we'd still like to share something from Autoline Daily, an online automotive new show with our friend John McElroy. He's been covering the business for decades now and recently found something interesting: pictures of the 1984 Chevrolet Citation IV concept, seen above. Displayed half a decade before the first electric concept that would become the EV1 (inset), McElroy says it's now clear that the elegant, aerodynamic EV1 took a lot of styling cues from the Citation IV, which was developed in part thanks to GM's new-at-the-time Aerodynamics Laboratory. We agree with him that the spats over the rear wheels, the flush glass, and the covered headlights all bear a certain kind of similarity between the two cars. That the colors almost match is a nice coincidence. The Impact (the concept version of the EV1) looked "frumpier," McElroy says, because it wasn't as long as the Citation. You can read a lot more about the Citation IV here and check out McElroy's thoughts in the video below. Find the Citation starting at around 3:45. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
