> again read what you quoted, i KNOW how to drive a stck but didnt have the oppurtunity to buy one, and in my experience most 4 cyl autos run in the high 16’s to the 20’s in the 1/4 mile is all im trying to say. and im racing it because its fun, that should be a good enough reason, also im not saying that my car is the greatest im just saying i think its a good car with all things considered. please dont be offended or anything im just trying to get my point across

is your car yellow? i think i’ve seen it around before, i saw a yellow one chasing after my buddys white 4 door GSR a couple weeks ago

yeah, im not sure what kinda times your car runs but there are some n/a ss cobalts hitting high 14’s with just a short ram intake, the s/c ss cobalts have bee having traction issues so they are running high 14’s as well stock, yes there are 2 trims of the ss cobalt  
1ss = 2.4 liter n/a variable valve timing 171 hp (underrated)  
2ss = 2.0 liter supercharged 205 hp (underrated)

I like the Cobalt as a comuting car…I think the supercharged SS would be a nice comuter+pretty fun.

I’ve been contemplating trading my ZX2 in towards one, but I think the Cobalt SS needs to drop more in price first.

personally…i think the exteior of the Saturn ION S/C looks better but the interior of the cobolt SS S/C is nicer…

I hate that retarded center console/speedo on the saturn.

ther are a lot of cars i would consider over it for 20K  
RSX-S, Mini S, civic SI, SRT4, Mazda3, V6 Sonata,

there’s guys running mid 14s with a stock valvetrain and a good launch. I’ve got rockers so my top end will be better than stock but I’m on a stock tune, so my guess is 14.8-14.9 with my car.

well for that size of car thats a pretty good 1/4, at this point you may beat me by .2-.3 in the 1/4 but since im not stock maybe it would be a tie
