FRS/BRZ vs. Cobalt SS

The thread title is titled the Cobalt SS. There were three Cobalt SS engines produced (NA, super charged, and turbo). The turbo was released late into the model's lifecycle (second half of 2008) for emissions reasons and the turbo model is most likely the most rare one to find (they only made 500 sedans).

So while you maybe referring to the turbo model, there are probably a lot more of the other SS models on the street and for sale.

im sure we can evaluate the merits the different cobalt ss iterations but i wrote that thread in response to what someone said about cuda joes dyno plot and the potential of the car he owned.

I'll let you know next time I'm in N.C. at VIR in my 'shitbox' so you can show me how fast you are.

If you happen to be passing thru Saint Louis on your way there, let me know and I'll be happy to show you what the Cobalt is capable of.
