Well, look at the Nova...same concept...

It was their "economy" car - then they made it fast as ****...

...you would, by your definition, have to call that Special Olympics too...

It's not.

They won't make an Aveo SS...that car sucks too much. That is not comparable to a Nova...

Oh, and Mike: the Supercharged ones aren't slow at all. On CobaltSS.net, there's one running 12.75 in the quarter mile with bolt ons and slicks. Numerous others are in the low 13s with bolt ons. Stock is high 13s to low 14s.

back in the day it was easy to say "thats just a Nova" ...as the 2800 pound car that it was pulled em outta the water next to you on gratiot and left you speechless.

No disagreements with either - but the Nova actually has [muscle car] style. Cobalt? Meh, not so much.

i dont disagree with you there at all, just saying they did technically fill the same market segment. If only the cobalt were as BA as the nova!!

**Schuby87** · March 18th, 2009, 11:56 AM

Lap times would be really interesting if the Z28 becomes a reality.

Yeah - but it was the 60's/70's. Everything had style.

Though it started as a cutesy little car too

**meissen** · March 18th, 2009, 01:05 PM

You're shitting me - that's a Nova?

**MP81** · March 18th, 2009, 01:27 PM

Yeah, '63 Chevy II.

what the heck is wrong with a supercharged model? or even the NA one for that matter?

**SLPSS** · March 18th, 2009, 01:36 PM

cobalt ss super charged

got beat by one at milan he out hole shot me, sleeping again, but couldn't go around it chased it all the way to the quarter he ran a mid 13

**DETROITMUSCLE** · March 18th, 2009, 01:39 PM

I'd take a supercharged one over most any other car for a DD anyday, don't get me started on the turbo model

**DanO** · March 18th, 2009, 02:09 PM

I love my SC cobalt! it definately out handles my camaro.

Granted they are only '205' hp from the factory, but that was GM's limitation, not the superchargers limitation. Besides, once a TVS makes it onto the car i'd take it over the turbo version..

I guess my whole comment is that i am dissapointed in the camaro SS's lap times..
