Cobalt on History Channel

Anybody catch the Modern Marvels episode about "Custom cars" that just aired? About 3/4ths the way through the show they had a Cobalt that the guy said was turbocharged and capable of holding 45 psi. Anybody ever heard of this car before? I'm thinking maybe the show's writers messed up or something.

I posted this up a while ago. It looked like a pretty sweet setup. The car was definitely not for street use.

Here it is. It was customized by So-Cal speed shop for the Bonneville Salt Flats. On the steering wheel there is a little button that the driver can press to raise the boost level in increments of 5 PSI all the way up to 45 PSI.

Wow, pics even! Nice catch, Cobalt_Supercharged. It was a brief spot, but I thought it was interesting.
