Cobalt SS & Motor Trend
Superchargers take it to make it....and that I will never like about them. Turbos I like.
I do like Onstar.
But it still looks like a Honda on crack with a park bench in the back for a picnic on the side of the road when your car ****s the bed.
Glorified Cavi? ABSOLUTELY
Best small car they ever made?? Lets compare: Geo Metro....Prizm.....Cavilier....damn tough runnings there
Ford? Lets not EVEN GO THERE! I can't stand ford, and I never will. I still love the look on people's faces when they say they have a 5.0 and I inform them of their 4.9L V8 that regardless of the fact that it has a 5.0L tag...is still slow. And the new Mustang GT??? Retro to me, and others, means that they obviously can't think up anything new, so its time to resort to the past....sad sad situation. Then again...ford is a sad situation..... A Saleen Focus?? whoa....fast stuff. o.O
The Aftermarket jumps all over anything and everything in the sport compact/import/domestic scene with a big hype. How the hell else are they going to make their money?

ford haha where do i start. Festia ..yup, pinto... taurus..escort haha oh man they made some winners. i DO like the 04 cobra..who doesnt? its the first mustang they got right! and those 351 focus's are pretty insane.. other than that.. the best ford had to offer was the Escort Corsworth and thats name says it all. the GT? its a 150k ford who the hell is going to buy that? id rather a henessey viper! the twin turbo will beat that ford down. better yet id buy a R32 and mod it to hell and blow everything off the road. what the hell is this post about? the cobalt thats right. hmm yea look at the thing... stand back .. then laugh and i mean comon the engine doesnt even sound mean.. a Ecotec... WOW im impressed.so now am i gunna see Ectotech badges on older cavi's? Please i cant wait to see one rev on me so i can just destory it.

Yeah, I have read this article several times, a guy I know showed it to me...
Check this out...
The article says that the 0-100 time is 13.8(sounds about right...)
It also says that the 1/4 time is 14.4 @ 100.8 mph...
If you look at the 2 figures, they dont match, it took the driver .6 sec's to go .8 mph more.
I looked at the article and it is ridiculous.
I have raced a Cobalt SS, and laughed the whole way.
It sounds to me like Motor Trend is funded or supported in some way by GM.
Tell me what you guys think?
Thanks

I smell....[sm=bs.gif]
Motor Trend just sucks all around. I went out and bought Speed Magazine, and damn am I impressed. As someone stated before they aren't biased towards either market, import or domestic....they just lay it out like it is and leave you to make the decisions yourself.
