Go to any other car forum site and you will see the same kills on any cars. I don't understand why you would ask a retarded question like "do you guys think your cars are fast?" No douche bag, we dont. I personally went out and was like "Hey, I need me a really slow car" so I bought the cobalt s/c.
I'm glad you have a 11 sec car. Good for you.

Yea, I think the cobalt ss/sc is a fast car. You know why? I can run 12s with a 75k bumber to bumber warnity. With all GM bolt ons. I think for less then 25k total into a brand new car running 12s is very impressive. What happens if your 11second car breaks? Empty that pocket book or should I say purse. Go troll somewhere else.

Some of you guys are a disgrace to Cobalt owners. Please grow up or shut up, you make us all look bad.
I think wastegates question was an honest question and not meant to start any crap. If it was oh well then he's a troll and he will be dealt with. It's sad that he can't even hang around here and have a simple discussion, which is what he was doing without you guys jumping his back. I think many of you have an inferiority complex issue.
Remember, there is ALWAYS someone faster then you, whether you own a DSM, Cobalt, GTO, or Bugatti.

you know..i thought that fuel mileage was possible at first until you said
on that low of a compression (idk stock compression, but im sure its higher), driving so mildly on the gas the turbo doesnt spool, youd gotta be going slower than a 4,000lb civic
8.5:1 compression

PS: I'm going to test drive an SS tomorrow. I'm liking the car from what I read online, I hope it shines from behind the wheel too.

So I've been lurking around for a bit now and I just have to ask. Do you all honestly think that a stock or near stock SS/SC is a fast car? I see numerous signatures with "kill" lists in them, most listing cars I wouldn't look twice at let alone waste methanol on. I can appreciate the fact that the car is new and there isn't a lot of aftermarket support out right now. However, when some members are named "stangkiller" or have anti-import statements in their signatures I really begin to wonder what sort of drugs these people must be on to have such delusional thoughts. Perhaps it's just that in the particular area of the country you live in there aren't a lot of modified cars or higher end sports cars running around on the streets. Not so here in south Florida, I drive a pretty fast car yet everyday I see at least 2-3 cars that could hand my ass to me on a plate and I only drive about 8 miles to work. Maybe it's the fact that tracks are open year round here that encourages people to modify cars more heavily than other locales. I'd like to hear some opinions on this so speak up!
