GM to offer 2 performance packages for Cobalt SS, ION Redline
GM Performance Parts is adding some extra juice to 2.0L Ecotec-powered Chevrolet Cobalt Coupe SS Supercharged and Saturn ION Redline by introducing two supercharger kits that generate significant power gain at the wheels. The Stage One and Stage Two performance upgrade kits provide an additional 31 and 36 horsepower respectively. “These stage kits are aimed squarely at the hard core enthusiast looking to boost the power of the already charged-up 205-horsepower 2.0L Ecotec engine of the Chevy Cobalt Coupe SS Supercharged and Saturn ION Redline,” said Nancy Philippart, executive director, GM Accessories. “They deliver increased horsepower and torque throughout the operating range of the engine.”
The Stage One Kit with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $500.00, includes higher-flow fuel injectors and an ECU calibration to provide a 31 hp boost to the Cobalt Coupe SS Supercharged and ION Redline Ecotec engine for a total of 236 hp and 205 lb.-ft. of torque.
The Stage Two Kit (P/N 17803229), with an MSRP of $750.00, yields more power through the middle section of the power curve versus the Stage One Kit. The Stage Two Kit includes the parts available in the Stage One Kit and adds a smaller supercharger pulley and drive belt, pushing the engine alive with 241 hp and 218 lb.-ft. of torque across a broad engine speed range.

now all we are waiting on is the hondas to come out with the supercharge package...lol
right like that will ever happen, i would rather build a turbo/engine myself instead of buying a car with a supercharger off the lot

Thats liek saying you'd rather have standard neon over an SRT-4. There is still room to play you just start with a better/stronger platform.

ok ya and then if you go and add aftermarket parts to the new car you just bought off the lot, you will still void your warranty
ill take a used honda and build it up and turbo it rather than a stock cobalt with 236 and if you do anything to the cobalt, you will void the warranty
