for comparison… the SS ran a 3.13.00
and the evo MR ran a 3.13.30

The new SS/TC’s are no joke, straight line or around a corner. To bad there going to be killing it off.

3

Damn. Too bad there so fucking ugly.

4

wrd.

5

^amen, hate the looks

6

i like them better then the new sti yuck

7

i said this when i was driving Choko’s. Thing goes in a straight line (with the juice of course) and it turns like hell. I love the car.

8

The car has a LOT of impressive tricks up its sleeve, which were very interesting to read about right after it was released. Should be fun to see them on the roads now and then.

9

ugh, so wish i had just rode out my shittay cavy and picked up one of these.

Granted I don’t know why it is in LL2 category. But not a bad list of cars you can beat in a 4200 lbs sedan.

Sounds like typical GM: Get it right, right before it gets the axe. :gotme:

12

i remember when they first announced the TC version of cobalt last year, they posted the numbers. it was awesome to see. I can’t wait to see them. I used to hate the look of them but the SS model with the kit kinda looks slick

13

Hope it can hold its own in reliablility…

14

from out of nowhere…

  1. go ot much?
  2. why even bother listing anything after the gt500?

back on topic…

15
