Just for a comparison for people to ponder: my old 88 TBI 305/auto/2.73 IROC ran 16.2@84mph stock.
(yeah I know it sucked! I also had a 305 TPI/5 speed/3.45s that ran 14.5)
Your 2.4L SS has virtually the same hp, is 500lbs lighter and has steeper gears.

a cobalt base model dynos at about 120hp to the wheels, now with an injen short ram and borla cat back exhaust it makes 140 whp, thats a 20 hp increase to the wheels, now im expecting that a stock ss would make about 150 whp if not more with those same increases plus i have a 2.5 inch corsa exhaust so thats more power than the borla 165 is not far off i dont get where you got a 3.5% loss from ...
