I don't think anybody is missing the point. I just think everyone is tired of this argument.

It's an 9 year old car. Complaints like this should have been made 8 years ago.

With a little tweak or two, you get this (old but classic)

This sh1t is getting old and fast. Almost as fast as a cobalt. All I'm hearing is "but it looks fast, is supposed to be fast, and is fast....but it's not faster than something else!!!!"

I don't know about you guys, but I feel ashamed. I'm constantly being beaten on the street by guys in the new Cobalt SS. It's really quite pathetic. I bought my S2k to race in a straight line after seeing the pink one in 2 Fast 2 Furious. I thought it was going to be fast right out of the box. It's not any fun to drive in the mountains - I want to have to keep a turbo spooled and have fwd. I wish now that I would have bought an EVO or STi.

Cobalt SS lap time - 8:22
S2000 lap time - 8:39

And you know what, I still don't care because it's just a number and doesn't matter.

If you want fast in a straight line, especially on the street, do us a favor - get a motorcycle, don't wear any gear (cause thats the cool way to ride, and obviously fast and cool go hand in hand) and wish for the best. You probably won't be around for long.

Oh, and if the Cobalt SS was made in Japan, I'm pretty sure it would be a lot more expensive.

Newbs. I got mine because of Johnny Tran in the first movie. I think Fast and Furious won the academy award for best movie of all time. I read that somewhere.
