Turbo or Supercharger?
Gump,
I saw one (at a car show) and talked with one of the engineers who worked on the project (me being a "car guy" and an engineer, we spoke "nerd"... haha... anyway)... the red line is a neat idea, and with the swap of a pulley the car could be a mean little ride... I will stick with my SRT, and they should be able to annhilate the Red line... but still, you gotta give GM some credit, for jumping on the band wagon late in the game... haha... the Cobalt SS is a similar design as the Red line as well... what gets me, all the GM cars that have been turbo'd have been killer (T-Type & wasn't the Cyclone and Typhoon turbo'd??)... those vehicles are nutty fast! what's up with GM not wanting to make sweet/fast cars??

whats the specs on the cobalt?
whats the specs on the cobalt?
I don't think I've read anything for specs on the Cobalt (or SS model)... the Red Line if I remember is 205 hp so I would assume the Cobalt SS would be comparable... look for a low to mid 14 sec. 1/4 mile and 0-60mph around 6 or sec's... these are just guesses... anyone with accurate info feel free to correct me...
I had found some.

It was 208 horses and 180 torque. Here is a link to a little info on the Dodge SRT concept car: http://formen.ign.com/news/27503.html
