Interesting video on youtube
Here's a video on youtube comparing the 2009 SS/TC to a MS3 on the track. Not the most informative video, and the host is kind of a douchebag, but interesting anyways. He seemed really surprised by how much he liked the Cobalt.

yeah, like an 8.22 around the ring, "is among the fastest" fwd times
UMMM I believe it set the record for a PRODUCTION fwd car around the ring. Not a stripped out FWD car that set the record.
And he is suprised the balt can take a corner
gime a break! this guy is a tool!
not even a helmet?
and the ss/tc killed the MS3 in the 2008 LL for car and driver by 3 seconds!
"how are the brakes?"
UMM......
they are HUGE brembos

The Cobalt ran on a partially wet track. It would be nice to see GM out again with the car.
IN any case, I'd like to learn a little more about this ugly little Renault.

terrible vid. Didn't mention brembos or launch control/NLS. MS3 has 280 ft. lbs torque not HP. Showed SS driving when he was in the ms3 (i think it was the second time they showed that particular clip too)
And the FWD drifting part makes me wonder if they didn't supply a cobalt with LSD.

However, just like you said, TC is the fastest production FWD at Nurburgring sold in America.

also
It is a production car, period. Many cars have a much much lower production number and still be consider as a production car. Yes it is way more expensive and it used the factory option tires to achieve the time, but that doesn't mean the record is not legit.
