Should I get an SS Cobalt??

Yes, the 2008 SS's have the 260 HP turbo, Brembo 4 piston front brakes, nicer seats, and some other revisions (suspension, TCS/ESC system, shift without lift, launch control, etc.)

 

The power numbers you just quoted for the 2006 SS are for the N/A 2.4L SS models. The S/C 2.0L were rated at 205 hp (I think), but they dyno that at the wheels so it's probably more like 230HP. The stage kits increase the power nicely.

They were actually rated at 210 at the crank, but I've heard stock dyno numbers as high as 220 at the wheels, so GM was sandbagging those numbers a LOT. Also, the SS/SC is very cheap to modify. IIRC, INTENSE got one up to 240+ at the wheel for less than $500 for very basic mods.
