i wouldnt exactly say that guy, i have a close friend who has a cobalt SS with lots of upgrades putting down close to 400whp. My friend Zach has a gen2 3s in his mr2 witha ct27 and a few other things and he eats that cobalt alive everytime. dont under estimate a 3s. Just saying.
as for a swap do lots of reading and saving. and either do it yourself or pay tweak or ats to do it. |

Just saying. as for a swap do lots of reading and saving. and either do it yourself or pay tweak or ats to do it. The MR2 SHOULD BE lighter than the Cobalt, that in itself is a huge advantage. And, they might have 400whp but if they are the pre-2008 Cobalts they are no-where near as potent as the 2008-2010 Direct Injected engine which was not available in any other Cobalt. The 2008-2010 Cobalt SS Motor was huge step forward for GM and for the Cobalt. Here are a few videos of a STOCK 2008-2010 Cobalt SS Turbo Sedan on a full road course.
