I was bored today so i want to a local chevy dealership and test drove an SS/SC. I was NOT inpressed at all. It was alot more plush then my SRT-4, but it felt so slow compared to my car. Everyone is right that car needs a damn arm rest.

 

speed isnt everything...

i would take a enzo that goes 80 mph over almost anything because its looks so damn good

though we arnt talking about an enzo, speed isnt everything in a car you gotta consider looks, quality, reliability, etc.

 

Wow you're just begging to get flamed, aren't you? If you don't like the SS, that's fine. Stick with your SRT-4. But if you run in the 14's, your car isn't much faster than a stock SS/SC.

 

If i wanted looks i would have test drove A caddy

 

And it's got 4 doors! YUCK!

 

hey that was my line

 

Your car is faster. The fastest reported stock time was like a 14.4, and most people are running 14.6-14.8.

You gotta consider break-in periods, and most dealerships just fill them with 87, which the car compensates by taking out some timing. I haven't ridden in an SRT-4 yet, but I would imagine that it feels faster because when the turbo finally spools it sets you back real hard, unlike the linear power of the S/C.

You should go test drive a new SRT-4 and then compare.

 

Look i took the time to drive the car to see what it does and i told you what i felt about it. If i wanted to i can be an ******* about it but i am not.

 

Who here has drove in an srt-4?

If not go to a dodge dealership and act like you want to buy one and they will let you drive it.


Drive an srt-4 and then argue with me. I took the time to drive bolth cars before i had an opion i sugest that you do the same.

 

sorry dude you knew you would get flammed i mean come on if I went to an srt-4 forum and said I test drove an srt neon and it was slower than my evo so I didn't like it would they get upset? what would most of those owners do? they wouldn't say nice run man, thats for sure ... we already said your car is faster with its mods it does a good time

 

already did oh here is a post where I make a few comments and I admit that it is faster car

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/general-cobalt-68/if-i-had-do-over-again-8963/

 

i have test drove both and the srt-4 just wasnt as nice as a cobalt ss imo. as far as how it handles the cobalt wins in that aspect. its a 4 door and still looks like a neon and the ss looks pretty good. dont get me wrong its a decent car but the cobalt wins in my heart

 

I knew i was going to get flamed. I am just saying that i drove the cobalt before i opend my mouth. I joined this site to meet up with some cobalt guys and check out there cars, not to start ****.

 

alex47 , here is the big problem with driving the cobalt , its drive by wire , so throttle resonse to that ass dyno feeling , isnt there like it would be in your srt

how did you feel about the car other than the power feeling not being there ???

i almost test drove a srt tonight , lol but the 1 with the mopar parts on it wasnt in the lot , it was in a area that woulda took a hour to get out

not that im interested in buying 1 , but i would like to drive 1 atleast once before they are gone

i was actually there to try out the seats , im trying to find some i like

 

sorry if it's coming out wrong but we know your not starting stuff it's just hard for owners to read comments like that and sit still you would do the same and thats actually a good thing knowing you are proud of your car ... just expect some rib shots ... hey it's to be expected

 

Becides the power The cobalt is an awsome car car. My whole reason for looking at the car was purly for performance. "the dealer even said that I was the first person that did not touch the radio"

 

Ditto

My dad's friend just bought one, so maybe I'll get to see what it is like. I , like you, would like to see and feel the differences first hand.

 

really? I didn't either for both cars in fact as I drove listening carefully to engine road and ambient noise the salesman on both occasions turned on the radio then I immediately turned it off

 

That's what I did when I test drove the GTO. Actually my Mom made the salesman turn it off, because she wanted to listen to the exhaust.

 

To me a good exhaust sounds better then the radio any day

This is the exhaust i am pivking up on saturday http://www.modernperformance.com/dcx/srt_mpx_idle.mpeg

 

cant we all just get along?

 

not tell you admit its a neon


LOL


atleast you guys own domestics , and have a willingness to play nicely


as per marcs request , please regaurd my remarks in a playfull manor , and that im J/K (just kidding)

 

Be nice

 

I have found that most Dealerships put 87 in their cars, and they have no clue to do otherwise, and there is a difference in power.

 

Your dumb buddy. Not a good way to make friends here. Were you expecting us to be like yeah your right , our cars arent impressive. Lets all go buy a Neon and shave .6 seconds off our time when we race, YES!
