I was in the Cobalt forum, and some were saying that the cobalt ss can take an SRT-4 easily. The SRT-4 has 230hp, and the cobaltss has 205.
I know its not all about power, but what else does the cobalt have to make it faster than the srt-4 (torque maybe?) ? And which one do you all think would win?

Stock vs stock, the SRT wins hands down. Down here at Modern Performance, they have both and although the cobalt is impressive, the SRT takes it.

the cobalt has less power, less torque, and is heavier. oh... and it gets its power a bit later on, even with it's supercharger vs. the neons turbo...

looks to me like the srt-4 has it all.

its funny, several magazines state that the cobalt is a better car, supposidly better handling (only nominal improvment, at that) and yet the sartie, hands down wins every track comparison there is. a significant power differnce, more than makes up for a minimal (and i mean MINIMAL) handling difernce.

the SS claims better handling numbers, but also has some camber dialed in from factory. the SRT is setup with 0* of camber all around. a simple alignment will put the srt at an advantage in EVERY way. no magazine has yet to do that, every compairison is bone stock for bone stock off teh showroom floor. do an alignment and try it again, the srt would win in every way

It IS a nice looking car.

Plus the SRT is prettier :p

besides I think when the designers of the cobalt tried to make the car's body they put a civic's front end in the non supercharge model hey used a neon's rear end.

YOU GUYS ARENT GUNNA BELEIVE THIS.............................................. .............

the cobalt, is actually a better car than the srt-4!!!

im so sry u srt-4 fans :crying:

i understand, im sry if i sounded like a stuckup brat, i jus kinda wasnt sure why u were sayin that, but now i understand, so im sry to

according to car adn driver the srt-4 got 3rd in the catagory and the cobalt got 4th(ion redline,which is identical to cobalt, got 5th)

the only reason that the srt-4 didnt get 1st is because it was too loud and the seats wernt comfy

ion redline,which is identical to cobalt

Not according to this article

New Cobalt (http://www.ai-online.com/issues/article_detail.asp?id=660)

SRT-4 looks so much sicker then the cobalt anyway.Even if it wasnt as fast as the cobalt id find a way to make it work :lol:

It does look much better.

I was in Pittsburgh this weekend and a new Cobalt SS passed me wanting some. Not only did I catch him and pass him back but I did it several times much to his disbelief HE STILL DRIVES A CAVALIER!! I have Stage 1 but he wouldn't have beaten the SRT stock either.

Nice!

uh a cobalt and a cavalier aren't the same thing.... they have different powerplants and different aesthetics....

uh a cobalt and a cavalier aren't the same thing.... they have different powerplants and different aesthetics....Way to point out the obvious...But they are both 4 cylinder sport compact cars.

differnt astetics yes, differnt powerplants, no. they are all powered by the ecotec motor whether that be a 2.0, 2.2, or 2.4!

Either way we can all aggree that the SRT-4 is better than the CobaltSS right?

Oh and BTW there "King of Crunk" Unless your rolling something bigger than a 600cc streetbike I would be on the lookout of the SRT because I have been rolling at about 20mph and had some dudes on there bikes try to run me and they didn't take an inch from my Sartie. They were actually shaking there heads in disbelief. Off the line HELL YEAH they would beat me but rolling you should think twice! Hey come to think of it! Alot of people shake their heads after they get beat by the NEON, I think thats why I like my car so much! HAHA

Cool, LOL

:iagree:
