Bradley Loudon has been a fan of the Chevrolet Ecotec engine since it was introduced in 2005. When the original Need for Speed: Most Wanted game came out, the Cobalt SS in the game caught his eye right away. After some searching, he managed to find one for sale in his area in early 2013. Since taking ownership, Loudon has been modifying his 2009 Cobalt SS inside and out.
