Chevy's were born to race. Just look at the Intimadator. Anyways, I love being underrated and looked at as an under dawg. Reality strikes back, because were not the under dawgs and keeping up with V-8 mustangs is the proof.

Except I was stunned that the cobalt ss/sc was not even mentioned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Cobalt is great at all those things, but they are not the best at any ONE of them. The MS3 should be able to outclass the SS/SC in every way.

. Thats why its probably not considered competition for the Cobalt. SC'd Scion TC's, Civic Si's, Hyundai Tiburon, etc would be considered the Cobalts direct competion in terms of style/performance. Not everyone wants 4-doors like an SRT/MS3/WRX even though they are similar performance and price wise.
