What's even more funny is that the new Cobalt SS turbo (Strock) might be a LITTLE slower from 0-60 against (Stock) Sti's and Evo's but by 85, the new CobaltSS turbo is pulling away from those two cars. It's called weight to power ratio.

I hate to say it Koukicrisp but the new GTO's are more import than a honda civic which is built in this continent. 90% of the GTO is import. only 15% of a honda civic is import. A new 2008-2009 turbo cobalt SS is more import than a honda civic, the Ecotech turbo engine is German, the rest of thew car is made from several different european countries.

Exactly why the average guy can not buy a new ZR1 even if he has the $$$$ Must have some sort of hi-po driving skills.

Hey CLCstang, you would probably have wiped or killed yourself with that kind of power dude.

Gearing, power to weight, intercooler efficiency, etc.

This car is not moving very fast for even 300 hp I've had a 390 hp SRT4 and this thing is not fast enough to have kept up. At the end I clocked a 0-100 mph time 13.1 sec not much faster than the stock models 0-100 of 14.2. My neighbors new 2009 stock Cobalt turbo SS will destroy this SRT4 and 0-100: 12.7 sec and it runs 13.5 at 106 in the quarter in humid 100 degree desert Monsoon heat. Even my old 325 hp SRT4 could not keep pace with my buddies new SS\TC (265 hp).

You'd need lots of bolt ons to run with that Z06, A cam, is not a bolt-on FYI and you'd need a cam for sure.

Hey nathanZ06 don't you know what a vet looks like from the inside or are just dreaming you had one? This is obviously the LS3 vett in car camera DUH!!! Look at the shape of the hood.

plus, it would not be out accelerating so many low 4 sec 0-60 cars. The Lotus Elise is the base model, is has a 189 hp 1.8 toyota motor. the Exige, Exige SC and Exige S has a 218hp and a 220hp superchargd 1.8 toyota motor. The Exige 240 S is the fastest model with a 240 hp supercharged motor. my bad. The supercharger on these cars is more quiet than the "SQ series" of superchargers from vortech. They did a turbo awhile back but was not a good mate to the 1.8 engine. Also, this car is out-accelerating too many other cars in the Straights that will eat this thing for lunch if it was N\A/ This car is Assisted, and by more than 170 hp, probably 225hp or better to be realistic

I can hear the turbo intake and bov. the turbos on these cars are not very noticable. My neighbor has a new 09' Cobalt turbo SS and you can not hear the turbo on this car at all. This car would not keep up that well ON THE STRAIGHT-AWAYS if it was N\A

Just a bigger, heavier GT500. It won't be any quicker wither. Big waste of FORDS $$$ There are so many different mustangs on the road and none of them are worth the $$ or perform a hair better than a stock mustang GT. My new toy ( 2008.5 Cobalt turbo SS) out runs my 2007 330hp Must GT Bullit on a quarter mi track all day. In terms of handling, the only ford that can handle close to the SS stock was the Ford GT supercar or a re-sprung GT500, and I still get 25 mpg in the city.

Yes ttgoth1 a Z06, stock, will take the GTR..... Weight to power ratio, aerodynamics, gearing. The GTR is good for 0-60 mph with it's AWD but after that it'll get roasted by the Z0.

Stock 220 hp,... turbocharged>> 340 hp in a 3300lb sedan.

Hey DemonRaz, you obviously do not know your cars man!! really!! you don't. That is a pre-1992 model 3.0 V6 Yamaha designed heads and intake. The V8 SHO did not come out till 1996. It'll probably run mid 12's on a cool day.

It does have a 7-spd and I see the car every now and then here on the streets of Phx, Az where the car lives. However its only a upper 11 sec @ 123 mph car. They show it going WAY faster than it could never go in this clip. Gotta love those old arizona license plates in red\white.

Not bad but it's heavy, and this is about as fast as they'll go till the spec-v model shows up with less weight and a little more hp. I'll take a 2008 stock Z06 for that kind'a $$, slap some sticky street tires on it (not DR's)and run 11.5's all day at over 124mph and get 17-18 mpg in the city
