Haha. HAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAhahahahah HAHAHAHA... HAHAHAHA!
Hilarious. If that's what you think, then enjoy yourself Alice, because you're neck deep in Wonderland.
Facts? From your bullshit salesman? ah-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Yeah, those Ecotecs sure are shit. Can't handle 300hp, let alone... say... 1000. Surely all those Ecotec engines pumping out in excess of 400hp are all ficticious 16-year olds copying and pasting from their imaginations.
Allow me to refresh your memory, because you obviously can't find your Page Up key;
So, what were you referring to then? Interior? Nope, it's not lacking. Handling? Nope, that's not lacking either. Exterior? Well, I guess if you want a pussy magnet, a Yellow Supra is a better choice than a Cobalt SS/TC. then again, I guess all of us on here make our choices based solely on exterior looks... wait... never mind.
How can you yell at me for being obtuse when you never clarified what you were saying, except to say "how fast it is off the showroom floor"? I used the Nurburgring time to demostrate that not only is it "fast off the showroom floor", but that it has a decent suspension setup and choice of rubber, which culminate in the Nurburgring time. When discussing performance vehicles, the two categories everything falls into is power and handling. Looks are secondary, as one person's Igor is another persons' Scarlett. Cup holders? Don't care. Interior? Don't care. Color? Don't care.
You think I'd pass up the opportunity to drive a TVR simply because it has 50 nostrils? Hell no.

Thanks for the laugh though. I need some hilarity every now and then.
Seeing as SRT-4s are holding their value extremly well and are often only 4-5K below a Cobalt SS/TC...
