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. ---

According to the V forum: Here is the list of cars from previous years that the CTS-V2 beats in this particular test. Lotus Exige S Audi R8 Porsche 911 Turbo Ford Shelby GT500 Lotus Elise Chevrolet Corvette Z51 Porsche Cayman S BMW M6 BMW 335i Coupe Ford Shelby GT500 Audi RS4 BMW Z4 M Coupe Nissan 350Z Track Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR Pontiac Solstice GXP Mazdaspeed 3 Dodge Charger SRT8 Mazda RX-8 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged Ford Mustang GT Mini Cooper S Volkswagen GTI Honda Civic Si Mazda MX-5 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. ---

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 ---
