Why would we want to put that much through the front wheels? Especially with the new G8 platform…

As for the Cobalt SS SIDI-T (for lack of a better term), it was only a matter of time, since they already engineered it for the HHR. It makes me wonder if this motor would fit in the lighter Astra hatch (2600 vs 2900 lbs)…
