I bet the Cobalt goes down on the list if it shows the 1/4 ET numbers produced by the HP/L 
As well as the potential factor. Some of those cars are capable of 12's with few mods and little cash, and the LSJ is stuggling to get 13's

And that's enough to put the SS on top of the first list, and fifth in the second list.
About the RSX-S, it produces roughly 30 WHP lower than the Cobalt SS / SC (when both are totally stock) on the dynos.
Even the fifth ranked WRX 2.0 L is dynoing roughly at 168 WHP, the SS has been dynoed several times at 200 + WHP.
About the STI, when being dynoed stock at 250 WHP stock, it gives 100 WHP per liter ...
Congratulations to the SS !

also...all I gotta say about our cars is that I'm very impressed with the performance from the factory and the potential for more power. Most of my friends pretty much laughed at me when I bought the car. However, when I put down a 2000 S2000, a lightly modded (chipped) 1.8T Jetta, 96 VR6 Jetta, and a 97 talon TSi...they thought differently.

WELL, I thing gm should make a 4.0L ecotec quad cam, all alum. v8 with a 3litre displacement whipple charger. perhaps it would be an oposing v8. but in a rear engine or awd version of the cobalt. that would be sick. it would need to be a foot longer in the nose. *ponders....
can you say 11 seconds?

Yea, I really hope so. When it comes to cars its all about the respect. Just wait for that supercharger swap. Could be as high as 60 whp gained. I'l really hoping for some big numbers with s sc/swap. CAI, GMP manifold, Stage II, GMP Exhaust, re-tuned, sc/swap should be 300 whp. 300hp = 150hp per L
