This one sir

 

The title of the article was cheap speed, but they still took into account build and drive quality of the car. You guys can not say that your cars have better refinement, when compared to the Type-S.

 

Sorry but when I am looking to go fast refinement is right under fuel economy.

Who cares how refined the RSX is? Does that make up for it's lack of power?


Car & Driver is worthless anyway. Especially when other road tests of the Cobalt SS have yielded a 14.4 @ 100mph 1/4. Thats quite a difference when compaired to C&D's 15 second plus 0-100.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA i would like to know where in that post that you see any weights?

 

Enough about the damn weight issue, how many sources have put the Cobalt SS 20-80lbs lighter than the ION already?

 

You know whats funny is that ive already heard that the 06 Cobalt SC/SS is faster than the 05's! That bs! There not any faster! They dont dyno any higher! There might have been one case where an 06 dyno'd higher than an 05. That just because every car dyno's different.

 

That is just your opinion. A lot (probably most) of people like a car that all the body panels line up.

They have already said why they got those numbers. This thread needs to be locked, this horse has already completely decomposed.

 

Only my first statement is opinion.

 

Whats this Wasey you giving up the good fight?!? Thats not like you. Don't tell me The cobalt diehard, nutswingers on this site are actually starting to get to you.

 

Yeah I know but some people just can't let it go. That weight difference is so minimal its not even worth mentioning in a good argument. I would soon fight to the death that the redline would be faster at all cause of the lighter smaller rims than to say it might weigh less thats why its faster.

 

How about that niether one is faster than the other. Lets just leave it at that. The only reason i started this thread was because they were saying the the redlines are faster on the redlineforums.

 

Not really giving up. Just tired of repeating myself over and over. I will save my breath for a new discussion. One with some merit.

 

LBS per HP...

our LBS per HP are lower then the Redlines, yet both cars show 205 HP. It doesnt show the weight, but if you do the math this says we are lighter...

READ foo :P

 

...........and the SRT4s beat both cars by "bus-lengths" on the SRT4 forums, a "lightly" modded Mustang GT can run with a new Z06 on the Mustang forum, the new Honda Civic SI can run with a 350Z on the Civic forums, there's a trend but I can't quite put my finger on it...........?!?!?!?!

 

Good observation and 100% true.

But a stock SRT-4 beats us by about 20 cars (yea someone said that on the SRT forums. He was like "Nice try chevy" I just laughed. It was built by the hand of god though, so maybe its true....
