Chevrolet Cobalt with Bride Ergo II Seats
The 2008 Cobalt is available with the SS performance package, which includes a 260-hp 2.0L straight-4 turbocharged engine with variable valve timing, rated at 22 mpg city, 30 mpg hwy, with its 5-speed manual transmission. It can achieve 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds.
The 2008 Cobalt line also offers a Sport model, with a naturally aspirated 171 hp high-output engine, rated at 22 mpg city/32 mpg- hwy (manual transmission), and 22 mpg city/31 mpg hwy (automatic transmission). Previous to 2008 this power combination was offered as one of the SS package combinations.
Starting in 2009, Chevrolet will launch the Cobalt's global successor the Chevrolet Cruze (based on the new Delta II platform) in Europe with launches in other markets (including the US) to proceed in 2010. The Cruze will be built in multiple locations around the world including the Lordstown Assembly, at which the Cruze will briefly be built alongside the Cobalt until the latter is completely phased out." The Cruze will build on the already successful Chevrolet Cobalt, Cobalt XFE and Cobalt SS, all of which are nearly sold out in dealer showrooms," said GMNA vice president of Chevrolet Ed Peper. "Our dealers are asking for many more Cobalt's than we can build."
If you are truly looking to style up your Chevy Cobalt, then good custom seats are a logical upgrade. There are many aftermarket companies out there that produce quality bucket racing seats for either road or track use. Prices can vary from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars for top of the line seats depending on your taste and the size of your bankroll.
Beside the bling effect of having some sweet looking Ergo II racing seats in your vehicle there are some performance benefits. Because Ergo II racings seats are made out of lighter materials than your factory seats they reduce the overall weight of your vehicle which is always a positive for tuning.
Ergo II Racing Seats are universal for all vehicles; however, all Ergo II seats will need to latch to a seats rail, which is car specific. Make sure there is a rail available for your vehicle, or otherwise you can customize your stock one to fit your aftermarket seats.
Bride Seats, the maker of the popular Ergo II seat is one of the heavy hitters in the aftermarket seat industry. Many others try to match the quality of craftsmanship of the Ergo II seat but few succeed. This seat model is more ergonomically designed to fit the needs of daily driving without sacrificing the seats holding performance. Using a completely new Bride fabric material, and a redesigned head, shoulder, side, and knee support, the ERGO II model seat was born.
