The limited editions that I saw at the dealer several weeks ago were basically racing stripped versions.

good thing you are getting out of the neon scene, nothing quite like the non-SRT neon people, they are quite humorous

after reading the earlier post of limited edition, i searched and came up with no such thing as limited edition cobalts. i bet a dealer slapped on a sec. edition sticker on it and jacked up the price since its not unheard of for a dealer to pull that stuff.

Well the SRT guys at least have some speed to back up the cockiness (but yea, they can get annoying). I've seen a decent amount of 2.0/2.4 guys that were a bit delusional. (aka their intake/catback car was now making 30hp more than stock and was 2.0 sec faster 0-60). But then again that happens with a lot of people that have never been in a truly fast vehicle.

yea, too bad you cant really convert any N/A car to turbo and be pushing any sort of reliable, worthwhile boost for less than $5k

low cost, reliability, quality...unfortunately you almost always only get 2 out of those 3 at any one time
