I've seen greatly different times from the same magazine on the same car, so don't put too much faith in their numbers. I've seen the SRT-4 change by .3 tenths in the 1/4 mile and by .05 g on the skidpad, not to mention the top speed being listed all over the place varying by 10 MPH or more. The SRT-4 has them both beat in any and all timed tests, so it's pretty much not even an issue. I do perfer the SS's 2 door styling and I wish that the SRT-4 had at least a 2 door option.

 

what carck were you on to think of putting a saturn in contention with any car other than maybe a hyundai...cmon now...some say...'its still a cavy'...nothing can change a saturn...funniest thing ive ever heard about a saturn...upon reviewing them...car and driver, the show, said, "to any saturn lovers, you might want to leave the room"...then they said what a terrible product it was....

 

well actually the saturn red line and cobalt ss are pretty much the same car. and for those of you saying its still a cavy, the srt4 is still a neon even though its superfast.

 

BOLD is winner in category

Dodge Neon SRT-4: $20,650, Rating (8.4), 2.4L 230 hp I4 Turbo, Torque (250 @ 2200 RPM), 16v, DOHC, Weight (2,900)

Chevrolet Cobalt SS: $21,430, Rating (7.0), 2.0L 205 hp I4 Supercharged, Torque (200 @ 4400 RPM), 16v, DOHC, Weight (2,991)

Saturn Ion Redline: $20,885, Rating (6.5), 2.0L 205 hp I4 Supercharged, Torque (200 @ 4400 RPM), 16v, DOHC, Weight (2,933)


Clearly, yes, the SRT-4 is the winner (The Redline and the SS are the same damn car)

 

wow Chase you did your research. yeah SRT will put anyone in their place. i do like the looks of the cobalt too. cavy or not it looks a hell of alot better

 

Yeah, the Cobalt does look bad *** I think. But only the Coupe and SS.

 

It's a lot closer and more accurate than the SRT-4 always being put in the same category as the STi and Evo.

 

Man! I LOVE how Dodges always seem to take the gold AND be priced considerably less AND look a helluva lot better!!! Hmm... a coupe SRT-4 would slay all!!

 

the cobalt dynos 205 HP that isn't at the crank thats 205 hp at the wheels and they run 14.4 in the 1/4 mile. thats roughly 230 hp at the crank.

 

SRTS Own Both and most .
