Sweet - Those are some really nice numbers for a LS Sedan auto. It definitely one of the quickest cars in its class, especially if you get the coupe with the 5-speed manual.
Pretty weird though how the 0-60 time and the 5-60 time were the same. Usually the street start results in a significantly slower time, sometimes as much as a 1/2 second
Hopefully C&D will test a Cobalt Coupe 5-speed soon - if the auto can do that well, the manual version should be even better

This weekend I will throw the GTech pro in mine and pull some numbers since its finally going to be above freezing. I am sure I can pull at least .85g in the skid pad. And I am on stock 195's lol.

0.77 isn't terrible considering the fact the LS does not have any kind of sport suspension.
The S/C SS shows what the suspension is capablke withsome tweaking.
