Note the 8:22 time for the Cobalt SS. It has next to no power compared to most cars, and I think we can all agree that a Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger don't handle anywhere near that well. Look at the cars around that time. :lol:

Everyone does similar things.

 

 

I always gotta poke fun at the downtown Mario Andretti's. I do have a '74 lowered Chevy thats not too slow itself. But it's better going in a straight line :lol:

None of the above. I prefer cars that can go fast when doing something other than driving in a straight line. :lol:

 

This makes no sence, have you ever driven any of these cars? The 2003 and 2004 Ford SVT Cobra could corner like it was on rails.

 

As much as I'm a Chevy man, I would have to go with the Shelby Supersnake for recent pony cars, the Camaro and Challenger are overweight under powered pigs, and that thing that Dodge calls the Charger isn't a Charger, its just a car that they needed a name for kinda like Pontiac with the 2004-2006 GTO. This is a Charger.

 

Mercedes Benz C63.

 

Zero to 60 in 3.4 and ceiling speed government limited at 150mph.

 

 

If speed is what you want check out

Bleh, American junk. You want horse power AND good handling get the Nissan GTR. You will then soon learn that Chevy should have gone bankrupt, died, and should have been turned into a manufacturing plant for nissan :evilgrin:

The GTR is both more expensive and slower than a Z06. :)
