Car and Driver ran a 14.7 with the Redline this month, and a 0-60 of 6.1. Pretty good, seeing as these numbers were without the LSD. I'd imagine an LSD would trim at least a couple of tenths off those times, is that close?

^^^ Amen for that. Its like the new neon. Fun car to drive, but the inside sucks. Its so plan and like the old neons. I think they should have spiced the inside up a bit.

Yeah I sat in a Redline the other day (didn't drive, stupid guys were too busy) and the interior kinda sucks. The seats are nice, but the center stack and center guages are crappy. The shifter isn't really short... the throws on my 94 Cav arent much longer. The engine looks great though, looks as if it has close to a CAI from the factory.

It's not a space-frame or plastic panelled though... although I don't know if those two things make a big difference. The Cobalt's interior is much nice though, and may be heavier for that. You'd think the two should be fairly close though.

Apparantly the SS will weigh slightly more than the redline, by about 50-90 lbs. but like someone else mentioned, so many weight number are being thrown around to really tell. With an LSD, the car should be able to hit 14.3-14.5 no problem. AEM is currently either in the design or testing stage for a CAI for the ION redline, so that is good news for the SS peeps as well. News is floating aorund that DC sports (bought out by AEM) is currently designing a header for the redline as well which should work for the SS no problem. Once the SS comes out and the market for the delta cars expands, parts should be coming out like crazy. Right now because it's only the ION and the redline, no parts manufacturers are coming out with stuff because of it being such a small market. A little more time, and we'll be able to hang with SRT-4's no problem.

have u seen what the car is trapping in the 1/4 mile? 97,98 mph, and only a 14.7, those speeds are good for a low 14 lowr than 14.5, that means traction is an issue, or gearing might suck, but i think traction. if an lsd was installed to handle the traction issues that 97-98 mph, should equal 14.5 or better. please gm install a freakin quaife lsd in the cobalt ss before release. be smart dont be a retard.
