|  |  | | Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe
With impressive performance from its 205-horsepower (153 kW) 2.0L supercharged Ecotec engine, this compact powerhouse is at home on the racetrack as well as the street. The suspension was tuned at Germany 's Nurburgring racetrack.
At the heart of the Ecotec 2.0L SC is an Eaton M62 supercharger. Maximum supercharger boost pressure is 12 pounds per square inch (psi), and the system includes an air-to-water intercooler that cools the incoming air charge to increase intake-charge density, which in turn enhances power and reduces the engine's propensity to "knock" at high boost levels.
Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged achieves 0-60 mph in 6.4 seconds, and the quarter-mile in 14.9 seconds, with a top speed of 143 mph.
It features distinctive exterior and interior elements that also make it stand out from the crowd, including a high-mount spoiler, lower rocker extensions and fascias with one-inch extensions; as well as titanium-face gauges, A-pillar-mounted boost gauge and leather- appointed seats with perforated color-keyed inserts.
Interior refinement and comfort
Separate trim levels for each Cobalt model provide distinction and a tailored appearance. In keeping with Cobalt's premium positioning, many features are standard, including air conditioning and electric rear defogger. New for 2007 is an AM/FM stereo radio and CD player with MP3 playback and auxiliary input jack; and driver information center.
Surprising amenities - such as an optional remote vehicle starter system new for 2007 (when an automatic transmission is ordered) - also lend an upscale feel to the Cobalt's interior, as many of the standard and available features aren't generally found within the vehicle's competitive set.
The available factory-installed remote vehicle starter system, which is new for 2007, is integrated with the remote keyless entry feature and allows the driver to get a head start on the car's interior heating and cooling from a range of up to 200 feet (61 m).
Additionally, Cobalt features plenty of interior comfort and flexibility, including easy access to the rear seat, 60/40 folding rear seats and interior access to the trunk area, as well as ample, versatile storage.
Available features include power sunroof, XM Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only), AM/FM stereo with six-disc in-dash CD player, MP3 playback and auxiliary input jack (new for 2007); seven-speaker Pioneer Premium Audio System and OnStar. Other interior highlights include:
- Four trim levels for three Cobalt models: LS, LTZ and SS, three trim levels for LT - Height-adjustable three-spoke steering wheel (new for '07) - Adjustable front head restraints - Four cupholders in the center console; two for front-seat passengers, two for rear-seat passengers - Pivoting center armrest has contoured top to facilitate easy, comfortable manual shifting; interior of console holds five CDs - Numerous storage areas, including large, bin-like glove box - Unique gauge cluster with A-pillar boost gauge on SS Supercharged - Driver's foot rest - Height-adjustable driver's seat - Extensive applications of acoustic materials throughout
