true... from a price perspective there are lots of other cars that can be made to go faster for less money... but they either have a lower quality interior/ wrong type of platform (built on fwd, or 4 door econobox) for what you wanted when you went for the s2k. You need to be a certain type of person to get a 2 seater roadster with little to no room and loud ride on the highway as a DD. I personally feel the look of a two door roadster far outweighs the disadvantages it brings up 98% of time you aren't racing or cruising with the top down. Give me a few years and a few kids and that may change

congrats on the race and even if you barely won, remember the reasons why you bought the car, instead of a more practical car on steroids.

 

Yes it IS true it cost less money to get the 300 WHP. But in terms of reliability and looks and nimbleness, i wouldnt mind spending that extra money....but its not THAT much more money in the long run.

SS/and SRT are only good to a certain amount of power.....whats the point of having 400 whp to the FRONT when you dont have traction.......at least with the Rwd, with 400 whp, its put to better use.

AND you cant handle corners nearly as well as an S2000.....so in the long run, to be able to handle, and put down high hp to the wheels and get traction? i think it would add up alot more than the S2000.

 

Well written.

 

And how much money will it take to make a Cobalt shitbox into a convertible sports car

Driving one is like doing a fat chick. Its all good fun until your friends see you.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...........so mean!

But seriously. i think its the S2000 for the win......its not just HP numbers.....if you cant get it to the ground...wuts da point?

And handling? NOwhere close.

 

I have raped every SS cobalt that I have came across (3). ALL being upgraded. They are strong down low, but they get pulled on HARD in 3rd gear!

 

sooo............they get pulled hard eh? *snicker*

 

Indeed....In my instances.......

 

DAMN I was planning on cruising full throttle down the shore with my ac on. guess im gonna sweat

 

guess you've never seen a properly put together car...my car boogies on street tires (proper boost by gear setup) and on dancing shoes...haha I come out the hole just as hard as anyone else (1.6-1.7 60's with 126-127 mph trap speeds...I'll have the paddle ready when I row by lol). There are PLENTY fwd cars that are setup properly and if you think they are going to spin while you stick...well you got life misunderstood.
