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 just want to build an absolute monster. I've had my moments when I wanted a quick NA car, but I want that too. I just want everything. A car that can outrun most any street car on any type of course. I know, it's impossible. It's more important for it to have snappy handeling and good throttle response. And as for hp numbers. I really don't care what it puts down, and long as it's fast. If it ended up dynoeing at 200hp, but I could still outrun everybody, I'd be happy.

you need to go out right now and buy a 1973 porsche 914 and swap in a flat 6 from a 911. not only will it be fast and nimble, but it will outrun pretty much everything you will be able to find on the street in a straight line or in the twisties. its an 1800 lb car with around 210 hp and it will kill
