The 2009 Cobalt SS Turbo 5-Speed: A Tuner Car that Surpassed Expectations

As Yuri and Jacob embark on their drive, they're excited to get behind the wheel of the 2009 Cobalt SS Turbo 5-speed. This car is the Z24 Cavalier replacement, which means it's GM's first attempt at creating a tuner car. However, as they soon discover, this project was 10 years too late. Despite its tardy arrival, the Cobalt SS handles like a "freaking little go-kart," and Yuri exclaims, "This feels like Fast and Furious." The driving experience is so exhilarating that it's hard not to say it again, as Yuri frequently references his love for the Fast and Furious franchise.

One of the most impressive features of the Cobalt SS is its flat foot shifting. This unique feature allows the driver to shift gears without taking their foot off the accelerator, creating a thrilling experience. Yuri had no idea that this feature was even possible in production cars until he tried it out himself. He notes that he didn't think this would be fun at all, but instead thought it would be the worst car ever. However, after experiencing the thrill of flat foot shifting for himself, he's won over.

The Cobalt SS also has a lot of Corvette influences, which are evident in its design and features. The wheels look like they were straight out of a Corvette showroom, with their sleek and sporty design. The tail lights are also circular, reminiscent of a Corvette. This is no coincidence, as the Cobalt SS was designed to pay homage to the iconic American muscle car.

In addition to its impressive handling and design, the Cobalt SS is also equipped with a turbocharged engine that produces 260 horsepower. However, GM has a stage one package available that can take this number up to 90 horsepower with warranty. Yuri notes that if this were a rear-wheel drive car, it would be a game-changer in the tuning world.

As Yuri and Jacob continue their drive, they get caught up in their enthusiasm for the Cobalt SS. They start discussing how GM should have done things differently and how they wish the car had been released earlier. Yuri exclaims, "What are you doing, D? Just rear-wheel drive this!" The two friends joke about what could have been if the Cobalt SS had been a true tuner car from the start.

The final result of their conversation is that the Cobalt SS would be an instant hit in the tuning world. With its impressive handling, unique features like flat foot shifting, and high-performance engine, it's no wonder that Yuri and Jacob are having so much fun driving it. As they take a break to subscribe to their channel, Yuri says, "I had no idea this was going to be this fun!" It's clear that the Cobalt SS has won over these two enthusiasts, and its reputation as a thrilling tuner car is well-deserved.

As they get back behind the wheel, Yuri and Jacob continue their adventure with the 2009 Cobalt SS Turbo 5-speed. With its unique features, impressive design, and high-performance engine, this car is sure to leave a lasting impression on any driver who gets behind the wheel.
