First time this happened to me...
A friend compared the "over-hyped" BRZ to a Cobalt SS...*sigh*

I don't know what it is about Cobalt owners, they all seem to have a chip on their shoulder. I wish people could just be happy with what they have and not have this need to prove that it's better than everything else.

I went through a long list of differences...not sure if it got through to him or not. But I completely agree. I know 2 people that have or had a Cobalt SS and they both swear that its one of the greatest cars ever produced. I guess they have never driven a.....well anything else :P

The Turbo model really is a great car if you look past the terrible interior (except for good seats). Held FWD 'Ring record for a while. 14.1 stock, flat foot shift, launch control, usable back seat. Nearly bought one a while back but I was tired of owning rattling GMs

From a performance standpoint, I don't see the problem here. A 2009 Cobalt SS ran the Nurburgring in something like 8:22, which is a very good time for a 4cyl vehicle with 250 or so HP. I'd be quite happy with the BRZ running it in that same time.

that cobalt stomps the s2k regularly in scca runoffs and i dont see you complaining about the comparisons between the brz and the s2k. maybe the cobalt owners are stupid, i wouldnt really know, but i dont see how a post like this makes you any better. at the very least they have the significantly faster, significantly cheaper car.
