And the S2000 CR is almost 2 seconds faster than the Elise SC? 
Surprising results in this test:
Elise SC
Cobalt
IS F
Civic Mugen Si
STi

If the Cobalt SS wasn't a GM/American car you people would be lined up at dealer waiting to get one. Your hate of all things GM is as old and crusty as a 1971 Chevy Vega driven around in Minnesota.

Delete this thread, quickly, before the GT-R haters see this because it performed remarkably, as usual.

Not just towards Cobalt SS here, there are too many comparisons that confuse me here. I'm a firm believer of huge differences driver can make. IS-F being just a second faster than S2000 CR is just weird.

I have driven the new turbo cobalt ss... it is built no differently then my 03 cavalier from what I could tell. It was fast, but didnt feel fast. It wasnt fun at all. I could never spend that kind of cash for such an econo box.
I have driven the solstice GXP... it didnt feel fast, and it was built as well as my 03 cavalier also. Just felt cheap and crappy. I didnt feel any connection with the road. I didnt give me that excitement a roadster should give me. It felt fake.
I drove an s2000 in vegas (the yellow dream car rentals S2000).... now I own one... S2000 is the best fun for your buck hands down. It may not be bang for your buck... but I rate fun as top notch.

What's surprising about the Civic's performance?
