The SRT-4 is still continuing and it will still be putting a hurting on the SS/SCs. Besides the Corvette and trucks/SUVs, Chevy(and GM) is many many steps behind the competition. Hell Acura's new turboed K23 SUV will probably give the SS/SC a run.

My wifes Saturn Vue can beat that and the Mazda CX7.
So not even a worry for a 2.4L SS

The srt-4 is bye bye, it will no longer be the car we once new it to be, which was a neon with turboed engine. I did like the srt-4 a lot though, at one time i wanted to get it. But let's face the facts, it's gone. They killed it and put a mini suv in its place, what a shame. I'll miss you srt-4, hopefully you'll ride forever into the sunset and a stage 2 ss s/c blows right past you!!!

The new Caliber will beat your car just because of the shopping cart handle screwed on to your trunk.

I can't wait to trade this thing in when i have some free cash. Maybe i'll get a new GTI or used 3 series. Drove those two the other day and was surprised that other cars could feel so ******* differnt to my cobalt.
Did you do all the check ups any smart buyer would do?
For instance, making sure you like the car before you buy a car you're just gonna go on forums to rag on.
I doubt you even have a Cobalt, let alone a Cobalt SS/SC.
And if you do....I've never seen someone spend so much money on buying something they hate. It's kinda stupid if you think about it.
