Obviously the type person this car is made for isnt you. It's made for speed on the cheap just like the SRT-4/MS3 and it's also faster than both with a 103 trap speed so it should be a car to watch out for. When you buy a car this fast for that cheap, what does the interior matter? You don't race interiors.

Like the neon it's great, because it's a generally undeserable car, that now goes faster than hell for the $. The SRT-4 still wins in the ghettoness category because it has roll down windows in the back 😀

But yes this car has the crown for all the FWD cars now.

The Cobalt SS with the old 205HP SC engine outperformed stock Mustang GT's on long road courses. It absolutely destroyed the Civic SI.

The car handles and has an absurd amount of power. It also has factory backed upgrades, expect Stage 1 & Stage 2 to be relatively cheap and up HP to near 350.

The car handles, brakes, goes fast and is under $25K. In 2009 you can even get it in sedan form.. Waiting on this powertrain to be dropped into the Saturn Astra!
