Hey guys, first post here of hopefully many more. I've become interested in building a Goblin and I'm pretty set on a TC engine.
I've been searching around to try to find out what the differences are between the 2008, 2009, and 2010 Cobalt SS TC models are.
So far this is what I know:
-All TC models have no-lift shift?
-2009 had a 4-door sedan SS model available, 2008 and 2010 did not (not that it really matters for the goblin)
-2009 and 2010 has the little screen display with more info instead of a boost gauge on the A-pillar, 2008 just has a boost gauge
-DFKC site says under the "choosing a donor" section that 2007-2008 cobalts did not have TPMS or VVT, but the late 2008 SS/TC does have VVT with the LNF engine, right? Does the late 2008 SS/TC have TPMS? I kinda don't want TPMS, seems like just added complication for no reason.
I've found a 2008 SS/TC locally listed for $3500 with 130k miles on it. Runs and drives, just has some body damage to the bumper. Sounds like a good deal but I wanted to learn more about 2008/2009/2010 model differences to see if there is any compelling reasons to pick one year over others.
Thanks for the help! Like I said at the beginning hopefully you'll be seeing me around more and more if I decide to dive into this.
