dono if any of you have seen that, but i thought you would want to. america is taken it back baby! look at that, top two are american and everything below is asian! wooooooo the 2.4's and the 4.0's holdin it down.

kind a shitty write up with some slow times for at least the impreza, the 2.4, and the 4.0, but it makes me pretty proud and you guys should be too

 

why in the hell did they picture the ss/sc then?

 

because car and driver is full of idiots and they probably had no idea there was a difference. Why do you think the imports always win the shoot outs?

 

makes me proud

 

V6 is the fastaz!

 

Zero to 60 mph: 7.1 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 20.3 sec
Zero to 120 mph: 37.0 sec
Street start, 5–60 mph: 7.3 sec
Standing ź-mile: 15.7 sec @ 91 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 118 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 174 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.83 g

those really arent bad numbers for the auto.

 

I'm faster than all of those cars...woohoo!

thats pretty sad that they gave the Lancer a makeover and its still that slow though...

that article pretty much means that you have to pay to go fast and it sucks to be poor...

 

THE LANCER IS THE NEW NEON!!!


holy ****...dsm much?

Read it it says it is on the same platform as the caliber...wow...and has the same motor...wtf...

 

Oh god, I can hear it now from all the other car owners:

"See, the Cobalt SS aren't that fast!"

I guess they will just be surprised when they don't know the difference between a 2.4 SS and an SS/SC and try to race one. Damn you GM marketing division!

 

woot for the SS

 

Anyone notice this:

Top speed (governor limited): 118 mph

but it went to 120mph in the tests.

Awful, poorly written paragraph.


where do you see numbers from an auto? Doesn't say that in the spec panel.

Says manual---bad times too. I got those exact times at 3400ft above sea-level

 

Seriously



WHO THE **** CARES?


Jesus ******* CHRIST I am tired of people whining about the 2.4SS

 

I was like WTF, 2.4 in a SS/SC...its the new 08!! lol, Good to see you 2.4 guys are up there, wtg.

 

Nice!!

 

yea all the times are pretty slow from them, i dono why it must have been conditions or something cause they ran the same exact 1/4 mile time with the manual 4.0 as they did with the auto 4.0....but there was like a 3mph trap speed difference? its very odd. and it seems like the 2.4 is running slower there than alot of people are running here also. And the impreza is running slow for sure cause i have seen faster times outta them stock. i'd say drop 3-4 tenths off the v6, the impreza, the ss 2.4, and the gts and those are closer to what people are actually running with good driving. This isn't really a review article or anything and im slightly dissapointedin how short it all was, but the point is, 2 american cars beat out 8 import cars in a comparo of cars that the average person can afford. THAT gives me hope for our automotive industry and its just a plus that they happened to be us

 

Damn steddy, calm down. He was just pointing out that Car And Driver got the SS models confused.

As for the 2.4L those are slower than what we run with good driving. Oh well, at least we're up there! I wonder what they would say about the 2.0L? Oh, thats right, they said in an earlier article "its good for those needing cheap speed". I about shot the editor for that, but they are cheap for the performance

 

I am calmer now


I thought like 3894729834723984723984723 SS/SC owners were gonna start up with all blih blah again lol

 

Nice to see the 2.4 getting some recognition.
