    2008-2010 Cobalt SS is one great car. I had a 2010 SS and after tuning every 1999-2020 variations of GM v8 engines, factory boosted also, none of them had the engine control management like the 08-10 SS. Basically these cars came with a wideband o2 sensor stock, no other GM came with widebands from factory at least from the v8 world that I know of. I've heard the Caddy Catera had one but that may be the only other one. Possibly the newer turbo 4 cyl GMs use one but I've never looked into them. Anyways, what's amazing about the wideband is the ability of closed loop fuel trimming at heavier/full throttle. The v8 engine variations and 05-07 SS, only had narrow band o2 sensors so once you go heavier throttle and trigger power enrichment, you're in open loop and no full throttle fueling is being added or subtracted (positive ltft fuel trims carry over if experienced prior to power enrichment though, but still no active trimming in power enrichment). I recently tuned a 2019 Corvette z06 which is supercharged from the factory, no wideband from factory just narrowbands so no trimming in boost. While the 08-10 Cobalt SS Tc with its Bosch ecu has a wideband stock, very neat!

    It's a Delta platform car - it feels old school because while being initially made into a vehicle in 2003, it's design is from the 90s and was meant to be used in Saturn vehicles as early as 2000 (obviously, it was not - that didn't happen until the Ion in 2003 according to Wikipedia).

    My buddy had the turbo model as his first car, as well. They were incredibly underrated and I think it's because of the supercharged model before it, which was garbo in comparison. The turbo model was great. Fairly light, very good handling and made a ton of power from just a downpipe and tune.

      The SC models were very slow and didn't make much power, compared to the turbo models. They handled way better and made very good power with just a downpipe and tune. Easily 320whp+ with how light of a car it is compared to most, it made it very quick.
