just out of curiousity- would anyone ever actually race their car on that show? wait that sounds dumb- i know people do. i mean would any of YALL ever do it? if the producers promised a 'closely modified car' and didnt tell you waht it was or its mods? would yall put your cars on the line??

Thats a good point when you say it that way, kinda makes you think but im sure some of the heavily modified srt's might have a different point of view on that lol

I'd love to see an SRT4 on that Speed Channell show "Pinks"

No one wants to race because they will have a bruised ego getting trounced by a "Neon". LOL I love it!

I'd just love to see the frickin' show, every time I check Speed it's motorcycle racing, Formula or news. Right this minute and later tonight is American Le Mans 12 hours of Sebring. Finally, I have a chance to see it tonight at 12:30 AM Pinks! is on when I can watch it. I would love to see an SRT-4 on there and it would be ironic if it's running against a Cobalt SS, since this was all brought up together.

I have yet to encounter an SS going the same way as me, but I've seen them going the opposite direction. Even if I do it won't matter unless they try to mess with me, but if they do then it's on.

SS's have nothing on SRT's..any of them..

[8D]


EDIT: Pinks is a pretty cool show, I personally wouldn't do it unless I had a hugely built car and I was loaded so I could recreate it easily...

Cobalt SS's are garbage. I test drove one for the fun of it. Of course the dealership guy insisted on going with me and would not shut up about "how fast it was" and how "amazed" I was going to be" Lol, please. I was ripping on it and it felt a lot slower then the SRT-4. We were mostly going on straight aways on the highway and he still had his mouth moving in an uncontrollable rant about about "what a sweet deal this car is". I was done with this guy. I saw an exit on the highway that went in a loop which the speed limit dropped from 70 to 40. I slowed to 70. His eyes got real big as I started into the turn. I tore *** around this turn. I thought he was going to puke. I was still not real impressed with it's cornering capabilities but at least the jackass quit talking.

I saw a 4 door Cobalt SS tonight, I thought all the supercharged SS versions were coupes, but this one had a good sized dual muffler and outlet exhaust. If they do have supercharged 4 door versions, then I would love to see how they perform since they are more like the SRT-4 than the coupe and the coupe still loses.

It's funny how they will rave about it and say what a great deal it is, yet it costs more than and doesn't perform as well as the SRT-4.

I could be wrong but I don't think they make a 4-dr Supercharged version. As I remember correctly the SS only have single exhaust.

There is a SS model, and then there is the SS Supercharged model. They do not make a supercharged 4dr model, but they do make an SS 4dr model.

Something you also should remember, is that this is a 2.0L engine and its S/C'd. It's not going to perform as good as the SRT-4's 2.4L and the turbo. It's also about the exact same weight as the Neon despite being a 2dr. It's not much slower then the SRT-4....but its not beating the SRT-4 stock for stock.

That said, it's a decent lil 4 banger for a person looking into a coupe....I've driven worse...
