Test Drove Cobalt SS, My Take Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I test drove a Cobalt SS today. I was debating with some people about the traction issues with higher powered fwd cars which lead to this. I wanted to drive an srt-4, but I couldn't find a Dodge dealership close enough. I figured the supercharged Cobalt would be okay. The guy told me it was underated at 213hp to the wheels. I don't know about underated, but I'd believe 213. I wasn't really impressed though. I've driven faster. But with the traction, I didn't have a problem. It was the model without the LSD too. I've still got to find a srt-4, which I think will have more issues because of higher hp. But really, I didn't have a problem at all keeping traction. But, it was a nice dry day, and it has Z rated Prelli's on it.

^^I think you have more experiance than anyone else I've talked to. The question for me was debating on swapping the Celica. I want something that will outrun almost any other street car in my town. A 12sec street car that is more than cabable on a road course. I don't really want to face the fact that a 3sgte is a waste. Looks like I might just be another one of those guys in an STi. After driving that Cobalt, it reminded me how much I like to go fast. I haven't driven anything fast for over a year. I just put around in the Celica. And I've got to say, at 213whp, I was not impressed. I want something so fast I can feel it in my eyes as I take off.
