True, MS3's driver wasn't as good as Heinricy, still the MS3 achieved 8:39, that's quite a difference compared to the Cobalts 8:22.

Smashes the MS3??? The SS barely beats it. The drivers who tested the MS3, on this, had far less experience on the track and racing in general than this guy. GM has real racers testing the cars, take that into account.If you look at the statistics of both cars, they are almost the same...head-to-head tests will be the only way to solve it, with similar drivers and conditions.

Wow that's suck a quick little car, I'd love to have one. . . that's smashes the Mazda Speed 3, Civic Type R, Golf R32, . . well basically all it's competition, lol

Looks do not matter wtf its all about performance.Sidenote: Because of people caring about looks and creature comforts cars have gotten heavier as they get faster. Fuck that you dont need a 30 gig harddrive in a car built for speed or really even power windows. Its just unecessary weight. Every car should have a stripped down model for those who car about speed like the EVO RS.

True but, I have a friend who has a 95 Civic with a turbocharged h22 from Japan. The car is stripped down with nothing inside but a drivers seat and it puts 300 horse at the front wheels. We weighed it at the shredder where he works and it weighs 1900 pounds. We raced at the local flashlight drags and I have almost a half track lead on him everytime. My SS keeps him within about 2 car lenghs ahead of me.

thats because that honda with 300hp is usually going to be a gutted eg which will weigh under 2000 pounds, making the 500 hp in your 4700 car seem like nothing. the cobalt isnt that light, its pretty close to 3000 pounds.
