Stock for stock, the SS will have the speed 3 by about 3 MPH in the 1/4 mile and 3-4 10ths on average.

They'd say look at that shitty cobalt interior, wrapped in leather but still rattles and squeaks like no tomorrow

I hate our interiors.

I laugh when people say the interior is ****, and then I inform them that its less **** to break/go wrong. Not to mention anyone thats been in an enzo would applaud the interior of the cobalt.

Im also unsure why their so concerned with our interiors when they only get to look at it when we decide to slow down and let them.

Meanie... LOL, my Sweet Melissa has developed a taste for corn too. Love that stuff. I was logging when one wanted to race me. I spun second all the way through, spun third, and threw a low rail code, reached over and cleared it on my laptop and still beat him by what had to be like 7 cars, it was mean.

Corn FTW!! besides the low pressure rail code i have had no issues. also i noticed a big difference when i switched to 93 octane for my road trip. when i downshifted to pass people, it didn't feel as powerful as it does when its on the corn..

my buddy just bought a 2011 ms3 all stock and to be honest its ugly, 2008models were way better looking.

Back in 2009 when my srt was all stock i raced my cousins ms3 and it was slow, 2nd gear is just limited boost and by the time he was in 3rd i was a car away from him.He used to tell me it was his wastegate that kept him ini low boost, but anyways, thers slow
