Road & Track #s

"The suspension has been tuned so well it is one of the most balanced, best handling front-wheel-drive cars we've driven in recent memory. Just how good is it? Rounding our 200-ft skidpad, we pulled an amazing 0.92g — just 0.02 off of the number we achieved in the $248,903 Ferrari F430. And get this...the Cobalt SS was actually faster through our slalom test than the quarter-million-dollar Italian exotic — 72.4 mph vs. 71.9."

Very impressive numbers!!!

this is my favorite line in the article..

"And at just $22,335, the Chevy is less than one-tenth the cost! On top of all of this, this compact hatchback gets 30 mpg on the highway."
