Well the shootout Motor Trend did shows otherwise. They showed both to have almost the same performance under the same conditions.

SRT-4
0-60: 6.0 sec
1/4 mile: 14.4 @ 100.8mph

Cobalt SS
0-60: 6.1 sec
1/4 mile: 14.4 @ 99.3mph
Tell that to the SRT-4 guys who get 13's stock.

The stock times for a SRT-4 are between 13.9-14.1......and the stock times for the Cobalt SS/C is like 14.2-14.4....

Truth of the matter is....not everyone gets 13.9.....there are guys who are running 14.5.....just because you have a fast car doesnt mean you can DRIVE IT that fast.....you have to realize....the reaction time of one person is always different then another....other factors added in are sea level, wind resistance, weather, etc...

Yeah, not everyone and every car can get 13's stock, the same model car can differ in performance, both by the car and the conditions (and with manuals by the driver as well), i've seens numbers on stock Magnum R/T's from 13.9 to 15.1, stock cobalts can get into the high 13's as well. The Cobalt SS S/C vs SRT-4 is a good comparison because both were with the same driver and conditions so that eliminates two of the three variables.

The fastest I have ever read for the SRT-4 is around 5.4 0-60. The fastest I have ever seen for the Cobalt is 6.0. The SRT-4 is faster.

I dont ever think that was an issue. The SRT-4 has more HP, more Torque, and a better gearing.

I'm certainly not losing any sleep (or races) because of a Cobalt SS!!!
