Would you rather drive/be seen in a 240 or a Chevy Cobalt?

Any S13/S14 or any Cobalt.

Should have made this in the drama section...

Depends on what was done to the 240 to be honest...

If it was a nice SR or RB swap S14, 240 FTW. However if it was just a stock KA, the cobalt would win...

What kind of cobalt, SS?
What kind of 240sx, S15?

Just not a fan of american.... With what you would eventually be paying for the cobalt after tax and interest.... the same money could net one hell of a S13....

El oh el @ everyone saying 240's aren't reliable. Quit investing in crappy parts and doing half-ass installs and you won't have that problem.

El oh el x2 @ all the FWD haters. Most turbo FWD cars out there are faster than the typical swapped 240.

That being said, I wouldn't be caught DEAD in a Cobalt. Just not my style.

Wes
01-14-2009, 11:32 PM
Ok, if we're comparing stock cars.

IE, a Stock S13 SE vs. a Stock Cobalt SS Supercharged

I'd take the SS supercharged cobalt personally.

Ugly yes, quick, yes, new, yes, worth a good 10k more than the S13, yes.

01-14-2009, 11:48 PM
Im just LOLing at anyone, when it comes to taking a free car, especially seeing that neither are in short supply, would pick a car worth about 1/9th of the value.

Don't get me wrong, if it was between a mint 98 Red Kouki SE, never been in a wreck, factory 5spd car, and I mean mint with under 70k on it, it would be hard for me to choose a Cobalt, but, goddamn, when the Cobalt is worth about double any 240 in trade in value alone, use some damned sense people.

No one.

Goddamn, Im just using a hypothetical theory here.


If it came down to me having to buy either, yeah, it'd be a 240, cause I wouldnt want a car payment.

01-14-2009, 11:55 PM
I'll throw a monkey wrench into your scheme.

If it's free, you can't sell it or trade it in on a car of equal value. You're stuck with it.

EDIT: Why the hell did I type that. You're thinking too deep into the topic, Wes. It's a simple question, would you rather be in the Cobalt, or the 240 of your choice? Doesn't matter if it's new, or been through a chain-smoking owner that burned the interior to shit, or if there's a huge rainbow sticker saying 'Cowboy's Butts Drive Me Nuts' on the rear bumper.

Again, I'd rather be in a 240.

super240sx71

Who are you referring too? I'd rather ride in my slow ass old 240 than a ugly ass cobalt any day, and I have been out of highschool for ages. Shit I have owned the same 240 since 2003 and it still runs great.

If it was 240 of my choice vs a cobalt, of course I'd pick a S14, I miss the hell outta my old one.

But if it were down to someone giving me either, as in, signing titles over to me for free, Id pick a cobalt, cause its value is alot more than a 240, once I have a title, I can do whatever with a car, haha.

hmmmm. spend 20k on cobalt aka pos in 3-4yrs from purchase or spend 1000 bux on a 240 and put another 4-8k(depending on your taste and motor choice etc etc) and spank that cobalt allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day long. unless you just absolutely LOVE the cobalt, why would you spend all that money???? again, unless you have to have the cobalt...why in god's polluted green earth would you buy a cobalt over a 240?!?! its value will eventually drop down to that 98 kouki s14(or below)and you will feel very silly. i am driving the 240sx. now put up a poll to decide between porsche turbo and a 240, and i will drive that porsche

fuck gm. i got one brand new off the lot in 04 for my wife and heres the outcome. i broke it in properly and changed oil every 3k (gm recommends 7.5k).

14700 new transmission- warranty
18xxx battery- warranty
19000 battery- warranty
20000 main engine harness- warranty
25000 transmission (again)- warranty
42000 battery and alternator- $500 out my pocket
ever since the alternator no probs yet
not at 62000

moral of the story... dont buy a gm. even if youre a mechanic and know how to take care and afford a car its a waste to buy a gm. i had to fight for all those warranty claims because they said i didnt break in the car properly. i went their in my honda uniform and told them to "fuck off bc thats bullshit. i broke the car in properly. look at my uniform. im not some 17 yr old who cant drive. just because i didnt bring my car here for service doesnt mean i didnt service the car. 14000 miles and needs a tranny?" so yada yada ya i cursed em out for an hour until they said theyll fix it but itll take a week to special order a tranny and i got free oil change and free service maintenance up to 45000 which i never used. stay away from gm!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cobalt turbo=reliable, quick, fun, and imo looks damn good for what it is

justjuiceit
01-15-2009, 06:35 AM
Too many variables involved. I would take the new SS over 95%+ of the shitbox 240s. It handles, brakes and accelerates better than any factory U.S. 240; perhaps better than any factory Japan too. However I agree with Wes; I would take a really clean and/or fast Kouki over the Cobalt.

Fag? Where in my OP did I ever cry? What are you, 12 or something?! That's a very sophisticated and well thought out rebuttal to my original query. Kudos to you sir.

You come onto a 240 site talking about racing a TT Supra in your Cobalt(fail+lol) and I'm a fag?!

Keep your lame "kill story" on your Cobalt forum.

You sound like a guy that dates fat chicks and convinces himself that they're OK to date...loser.

Most GM cars suck balls...and your precious Cobalt is on the "suck" list for sure. GM's version of the gay-ass Neon. Nothing but a shitty contiuation of the proud Cavalier lineage. You must be very proud.

It's OK with me that you're a sucker who got bent over and fooled into thinking that you made a smart purchase...you just need to come to grips with it.

You'll probably bring home a PT Cruiser or an HHR next...

In summation, please keep you Cobalt thoughts/stories on your Cobalt forum...nobody here really cares about you or that P.O.S.

You should stop being a little bitch and accept that 240SXs > Cobalts in terms of preference on 240Atlanta. The same way you're saying that Cobalt owners will choose Cobalts over 240s.
