unless manufacturers are saying their hp numbers are chp but are actually whp then i think the cobalt should be faster (didnt see lbs of the audi in that article, unless 3120 was that model not the other) due to drivetrain loss (not looking into gearing) and also weight (few hundred lbs). the audi has 5 more hp and 2 less tq and more loss of power to move the 4 wheels (better traction by far tho) and probably more weight (just cuz awd cars have more to them)

so basically they are damn close in compition the way i see it, and specs (for the most part) so i would love to see a race. and i would take either car lol but i stick true to the balts

That would be the bargain of a century for that car. If you've ever driven a newer Audi, they just plain feel expensive.......very good build quality.

Exactly......that's why it costs like 3 times as much. The better value definitly goes to the Cobalt.

Definitely like the AUDI. I love the TT. Also I like the headlight feature it has....taking after the older brother R8.

I'm actually not a huge fan of the TT. I love their sedans though. S4 and RS4 are two of the nicest sedans out there, imo.
