that is the dumbest thing ive ever heard.....a cobalt matching an srt-4? Whatd they do throw 80 octane gas in the srt4? I dont see at all how that is possible in those numbers since in R ant T they had it listed in 1/4 mi as 13.8 which has the same editors/owners as motor trend. Doesnt make a damn bit O sense to me. Ive seen cobalts around here get stomped by stock n/a preludes and s2000. And your right those magazines are real biased. The best GM car I think they had was the GTP grand prix stock as much as they weigh could run low 14s thats impressive and ive seen pulley changes and other mods push it to 12s and under. But the fact that chrysler gets beat up and down buy those magazines is exactly why I quit my subscription. They really need to quit comparing us to these favored more expensive cars. Our factory upgrades are better our track times are better, our engineering is better, our partnerships are better, and also if youve noticed since the DSMs were taken in controlling favor by diamler their critique has since become more thorough. If there was one regret I think Chrysler or mitsubishi would have it would be dropping the stealth and 3000 gt, I wish they would have at least made a replacement... The Neon SRT-4 was a good replacement for DSM owners w/ GSTs even though most of em hate diamler chrysler. But its a turbo 4 banger w/ inredible performance and a very broad amount of add ons. Its actually a good (great) tuner car for the price. SO all the other import favoring magazines like superstreet and C and D R and T can go suck an egg. Did you all pick up Super Street 2005s Massive directory? They didnt have a single tuner part for a neon but for some reason a CRAPalier had a lot of listings. I hope we can get past these biased discrediting fools. One day we will have a favorable magazine co. and critics that will see the quality and performance at cost we put forth. Can I get an AMEN ?

 

Speaking of the yota cobalt was that any stab at the Toyota cavalier?

 

I dont think Toyota would ever associate itself with the Cavalier.....

 

Yeah R&T....my bad....that was a long day. LOL

 

Ummm....toyota did associate w/ the cavalier here is a pic..........in 1997 they started makin em for JAPAN as the TOYOTA CAVALIER, They EVEN had A T..u...RD edition that was prolly better built anyways...

Yep, even the Japanese car mags have the same bias as the regular mags. Just look in any issue of Sport Compact, Import Tunerz or Super Street and see what they feature of the American cars. Until lately they have been big into the Ford Focus, especially the SVT version. I've seen a silver and/or blue Focus in d*mn near every issue of them all. The SRT-4 has made very brief and sporatic appearances in them with only Sport Compact starting a project SRT-4 that they did very little with just like the regular Neon project car they had and abandoned quickly as well. Both went 4 parts, but the regular Neon only has the first 2 parts on their website. Since GM hasn't had anything until recently with the Cobalt they have no GM project cars, however they do have 3 different Ford Focus project cars. For the Japanese cars they have many project cars of which most have had at least 6 parts while some like the RX-7 went 10 parts and the 300ZX has 15 parts to it. So the RX-7 and 300ZX are built up like full blown race cars making them seem God-like and the Neon and SRT-4 are barely above stock so that they look like worthless turds in comparison. And as usual they are touting the Skyline as the greatest car ever created calling the Nismo R34 GT-R Z-tune the "King", claiming it to be far above and beyond the likes of the McLaren F1, Saleen S7R twin turbo, etc. Just more of their biased BS to try and prove that Japanese cars are best.[:'(]

 

well acording to 1/4 mile times alone it ran a 10.08.. thats faster than any production car. so yes. that would be king.. and iim sure it handles better than those cars too. the R34 holds the world record for lateral G's on street tires. like 1.9 something round that.

 

Yes, but it depends on their definition of a production car because that's what they are claiming it to be. They say that they are going to produce 20 of them and most definitions of a production car require a minimum number of them to be produced. I would also love to see how much they are going to cost.

 

no chance on street tires plus beyond the 1/4 the mcklaren would wipe the floor with it.you have to be runnig slicks to get even close to 1.9g of grip i could see 1.1 or 1.2 but 1.9 is way out there.
