Compare our cars to comparably PRICED cars! I keep hearing how all of these other V6's are so much faster than ours, but those cars cost more than a GT! Let's keep it apples and apples! We have a $20,000. base price car, not many if any $20k cars beat us!

No, not slow. Low 15's are quicker then 80% of the cars you see everyday, but there are quicker cars, always.

Amen, although the SRT-4's performance offsets alot IMO, and its' look have grown on me, minus that hideous stupid handlebar wing. The Cobalt SS/sc thouigh looks like crap. Cheap crap. Cheap ugly crap.

well the srt4 runs a 13.9 theoretically. But the best stock time ive seen on one here was 14.4 Which is still faster than my best time, but i promise i could get more chicks with my car than with a neon with a bigass wing.

I wish i could get to a cool sealevel track, and test out my car one more time before my turbo goes on. I really want to run some 14.3s and maybe a 14.29 (im sure i could do it with enough practice, since ive done more mods since my '14.34' sealevel run)
