Yeah. I'm guessing honda-tech is like pirate4x4 right?

This place is pretty cool right?
WHOA THERE! Honda-Tech is NOTHING like Pirate4x4. Honda-Tech is a bunch of immature ricers. Pirate4x4 is the most knowledgeable automotive forum on the internet. If you once got flamed there its your fault, not theirs...

GM Marketing Dept.: "Hey lets slap FI on a crappy econo 4cyl and maybe a bad bodykit to make it look like the fast and the furious! It'll sell like crazy!"

anyway... the 2 cars aren't in the same league. one is designed to go fast in a straight line and is otherwise entirely useless.

the other is an S2000.

you take your pick man, but i'll say this... no one looks at the guy in the cobalt SS and goes 'wow that guy has a nice car!'

Cobalt SS is a pos, just like the Saturn version...there have been alot of problems with those cars and the UOAs show the engine is junk...S2000 is head and shoulders above in terms of build quality and handling

Toyozuki... do you part and help save America.. buy the Cobalt. All of these people buying the darn fangled foren cars is whats making China rich. We are all going to have to learn to speek chineze because of Toyota. The Cobalt SS is like an arrow... it goes fast, straight and true. Your country and the UAW needs you now. Go to your Chevy salesman now and by the Cobalt... you will be glad you did. Amerika, live it or live with it! Me, I like my Escort.

From articles I've read, the Cobalt handles extremely well, plus it has quite a bit of power. Anyone on here who blindly dismisses it may find themselves surprised when they find themselves getting spanked by one or at least having it keep up with them through the twisties.
