Cobalt SS vs Rx8 Vid

Just thought I would share this video with everybody. Also read some of the comments from the rx8 people, and tell me what you think.

pretty funny, seems like the RX-8 owners can't determine what their car puts out for power or what transmissions they come with. stock for stock a Cobalt will beat up on those any day but probably not in auto-x.

the rx8 guys are morons. everyone is going to have biased opinions on thier cars, they just cant justify thier 30k car losing to an "econo shitbox"

I know the cobalt is quicker but it does look like the Rx-8 let off for the van ahead. The Rx-8 guys are just pissed off cuz a $20G car is faster than their car that can exceed $30G.

people that own more expensive cars that ours will always resort to things like: my car is track built. or your econobox this and that. or you still own a 21,000 piece of **** cavalier. it's getting really old...

I don't know why people are so suprised they are so slow...if anyone knew anything about Rotaries, they'd know why the RX-8 is so slow. The motors are slower revving and don't start making good amounts of power till they are high in their rpm band...why do you think the RX-7s came twin turbo'd?

Point blank, Mazda messed up the whole concept of the RX series...

1. Lightweight
2. Turbocharged

the rx8 is a 15 second car... why wouldn't the cobalt beat it by at least 5 lengths?
