Chevy has branded the Cobalt as the Vettes little brother and the comericals show them doing things like this. It's their version of the wave!!

222hp at the wheels. Chevy under rated the hp bigtime on this car. My roommate bought one and we put it on the dyno at Magnaflow.

I still dont care for it, but I do like it better than the SRT4

Next time a Cobalt SS does that to you, do a half-donut and meet his car nose to nose.

Kids being the operative word. Doesn't matter if it's a Cobalt, Rustang, or riced out Civic.
