Angry C&D does it again

OK, I'll do this before bluebeast can get to it

C&D did it lightning lap challenge. The unbelievable news......the Stang in any form wasn't even tested.

The good news.....the ACR placed second behind the Mosler which costs three times as much and ahead of the F430 which costs almost as much as the Mosler.

Surprising news....the Cobalt SS placed ninth above cars like the IS F, 135i, Evo, Challenger, WRX, Lotus Elise, and G37

This is the last straw with me and C&D. I have had a subscription with them for many many years. They have pissed me off for the last paid time.......jerks.

There's no doubting that C+D delivers the best comparo's that manufacturer's money can buy.

Why is that surprising?The Cobalt SS was designed on Nürburgring.It also has the record there for FWD sport compacts(note beating the old record by more than 13 seconds).Also having a faster lap in general than some Evolutions and whatnot.

Damn, the Cobalt SS has come a long way. That car is going to hurt a lot of feelings.
