(Note what other posters say about the *new* Cobalt)

SL55 v turbo, winged Cobalt! - Bimmerforums - The Ultimate BMW Forum

and this...CLASSIC!!!!

" It was quick..... but just not quick enough. And at the end of the day he has a Cobalt that cost as much as Porsche.... but to each his own.

Cars: M3, M5, Ferrari F40, Ferrari 348, Ferrari TR, SL55

hahaha did they think it was an lsj swapped? cause they mentioned a turbo kit or something

 

I wonder who it was, i probably know them

 

The best quote from any of the postings...

"Mod'ing cars is rarely ever financially prudent but hobbies rarely ever are. If money was all we cared about our hobby would be discussing the next big IPO and how we were gonna get as many shares as possible"

These guys have alot of money. Who ever raced that modded SL55 was fighting a losing battle. But hey why not, we aren't expected to win but its fun to find out for sure. I'm not gonna talk **** about them cuz if I had the money I wouldn't be on this forum, more like a ferrari or porsche one, but they really have no idea about these cars or what they can be capable of in the right hands.

 

Its werid seeing a cobalt kill story where people don't bash it I like

 

Is that respect for a cobalt? No, I must be dreaming.. lol

 

Well if you read that whole thread. Yea I would say they at least say the cobalt isn't a slouch for the price and class that its in. Cobalt < SL55 everyday of the week LOL
If I EVER put 30k in a cobalt i'd shoot myself.

 

ryans cobalt should race it.

 

yea i think they gave the cobalt somewhat respect but i would love to see that benz getting murdered by a truly modded balt like a highboosted lsj and then see what he has to say...

 

for sure he'll loose to ryans balt and then he's excuse would be..."ohh i just got beat by a budget car(cobalt) that probably costs the same as a porche with all the mods he shall have".

 

eh i wish they would've bashed us cause anything they would've said would've been true

 

every time the cobalt gets bashed, i hear the same **** over and over and its not really that bad

1. its still a cobalt... (so what?)
2. cheap interior... (i dont mind it)
3. its a cavalier.. ok. lol
4. pooor quality.. i can somewhat agree

thats the main things i hear.

 

What I wanna know is, what Porsche costs as much as a Cobalt SS, and why don't I have it? That line was full of ****. Find me a 2 year old Porsche for $14k.

 

Pretty decent thread over there. I guess mature cars / drivers = mature posts. Unlike here.

 

I murdered a stock '10 or so SLK55 AMG. They're actually quite slow for automatics. 0-60 in 4.9 sec. I really expected more, must be mostly in their launch. I was stock at the time. Rode his ass til 140 (about a car length) then flew by him because he did a fly by me at over 100 right after I got on the interstate. Who does that to a car that costs 1/5th of the car you're driving? SL55 AMG is almost half a second quicker in 0-60 none the less. But that guy driving the SL55 needs to update his checkbook. Drop that much in a Cobalt and you'll be rolling the tires past him at 200mph while he then watches you release your drag parachute.
