The Story
The Sad Saga of the Victory Red SS RWD Cobalt
As you read this story, you will notice the absence of most shop names. That is intentional because this isn’t a particularly happy story, and there are legal issues to deal with between those companies and myself.
The car was originally a 2005 Supercharged Cobalt that I purchased new in April 2005. From the time I put the order in for my car I started looking for all the info I could about the SS/SC on the internet and it was there that I discovered car forums.
January 2010 UPDATE
Submitted by victory_red_SS on Fri, 01/08/2010 - 19:02.After ending the last year with the project moving a bit slow the next few weeks should be a bit more hectic as we are planning to have this car ready for April and race season (I know, haven't I said that before - several times now)
The shop has finally finished the engine & tranny mounts and now they will work on finishing the tunnel, mounts the seats and finish the roll cage. The roll cage is not sufficient enough for the 25.1.e classification that we will need.
Progress is slow but steady.

I would like to take the time to explain some more about this car project and what my wife and I have long considered to be “its purpose”

Beware when building a car
Building a Car, Beware
If you have read the story of my RWD Cobalt project car, then you understand that not everything goes as planned. Here are a few lessons that I have learnt over the past three years.
When you are looking at doing a project car, research everything about your car of choice, then research some more and after that do even more research.
