Thats why i still say drivers race.
Its like comparing two boxers that are an inch Larger or shorter than eich other. Height and in reach. Its who ever is the better boxer

and why can't I? two equal cars with the slight weight advantage to one makes it faster than the other.

It may be a drivers race on the street but #'s wise the Cobalt SS/SC should be slightly faster.

just b/c........when i was stock and raced a stock ss i won, he pulled out to about 60 and i realed him in and pasted him.
Its all to close to compare and if im served correctly weigh the ss w/1 person in it and half a tank of gas and do the same the redline. W/ me in it race ready no spare is 2770 and the sticker on the inside of the dorr is wet weight w/ 4 pssngers and suitcases and full tank. The saturn is actualy lighter. Go to a truck weigh station and pay 3 bucks and find out
