U guys can be serious... The ap2 looks just like the ap1. Lights, bumpers, and wheels; that is all that really changed. sorry to hijack thread.
AP2 FTW. AP2 are more sexy in stock form.

yea AP2's are definitely better looking stock (the headlights, tails, rear bumper, front bumper, lip, wheels). to top it off, they put down more power stock. the only thing i like better about my AP1 is the 9300 redline.

I have to agree. I wanted those front and rear bumpers on my AP1 forever, and the rims. Im not too crazy about the LED tail lights during the day though.

Eye of the Beholder

I personally like the AP1 front/rear bumper and 16" rims!

for around 700 bux, you go from 205 hp 200 lbf to 245 ish Hp / 230 lbf and redline to 7000

Stage 3 allow for 100 shot or changes in octane and adjustable rpm from 6750 to 8000 rpm by using the gas pedal to set points before start of car

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Cobalt

that's only ECU, injectors and pulley... start dumping money in exhaust etc etc...

So yes, they have nice turnkey options.
Still FWD

So all that power will be useless, because you can't put it to the ground in 1st - 3rd.

I have had both..They are both very sexy. When I owned my AP1, I used to talk trash on the AP2. Now I just love my AP2. It's funny how people argue which is better when they have never had the oppurtunity to drive both for a PERIOD of time.

Well, I know for a fact and can vouch that those little suckers can be fast. My friend has a Cobalt SS 2006 I believe with a custom 3 Inch CAI, 42 lb/min Injectors, Stage 2 GM Reflash, and 2.76 Inch Smaller pulley, that car I saw last night keep up with a Cammed Evo 9. Granted the Evo 9 was running 16 psi of boost. And then later turned it up to 22psi of boost and put 2 cars on the Cobalt. His cobalt keeps up with my Stage 2 STi. And I've seen him personally be dead even with an untuned Stage 2 STi.

I liked how the Cobalt SS looked until I saw how big they are in person. Despite being sized for us overweight Americans they are decent cars, but the FWD keeps me away just like with the SRT4.

I hate the thought of having tons of power that can't be put to good use because either the car weighs 2 tons (GTO, Charger, etc.) or it is FWD.

now think about how much money it would cost to get your s2k to 300horse and how much money it would cost to get a cobalt SS/Ion redline to get there..
