Cobalt SS Sedan

October 15th, 2008 · No Comments

The greatness of the turbo-charged Cobalt SS is being extoled all over the automotive press.  It is a quick, slick handling, enconomy, and legitimate sports car.  The 4-door version is now available.  

Autoblog.com says about the SS Coupe and a recent comparsion by C&D:

Fortunately, the latest issue of Car and Driver includes a massive comparison test called the Lightning Lap in which 22 cars ranging in price from the $22,995 Cobalt SS to the $282,306 Ferrari 430 Scuderia are raced around Virginia International Raceway. The list of cars slower than the Cobalt SS around VIR tells the whole story:

  • Mitsubishi Lancer EVO MR
  • Lexus IS-F
  • Audi S5
  • Honda S2000 CR
  • Dodge Challenger SRT-8
  • Lotus Elise SC
  • Subaru Impreza WRX STI
  • Dodge Caliber SRT-4
  • Volkswagen R32
  • Honda Civic Mugen Si

 

(Click here for each car’s actual lap time at CARandDRIVER.com, look for the “Results Chart” link in the lower-right corner.)

That is a pretty powerful list of cars that the humble Cobalt SS beat around the Car and Driver Lightning Lap.  I am surprised that a car that you can realistic purchase for right around $20k beat an Evo, a Lexus IS-F and a Lotus Elise SC around a road course.  That is very impressive!  

If your next car needs to be economic, stealthy and have serious dose of horsepower and sport then look into the Cobalt SS.  I need to talk a friend into buying this car so I can enjoy it vicariously through them.
