Oh, heres a quote or two:

"How good is it? In testing the Cobalt SS is the fastest regular-production front-drive car through the slalom we've tested in three years, rocking through the cones even faster than the new Corvette Z51. The SS outcornered the VW R32 on the skidpad, outgunned the Mini Cooper S 0-60, and outstopped the Subaru Impreza WRX 60-to-0mph."

if you ask me, its looking VERY good in our favor!

So far it seems the SS will not be much of a match for the SRT in a straight line but I think Chevy went more for a mix of power and handling with the SS. The SRT is a notoriously poor handler. From what we have seen on the SS so far it is a stellar handler and I have heard rumors of the SS making around 200whp. That puts it down by about 30whp to the Dodge. It would seem the SS is good for mid 14's maybe better since the trap speeds are a tad high for mid 14's but the 03 SRT's are good for 14 flat at 99 and the 04-05's are good for high 13's at around 103. I would imagine with intake, header, exhaust a pulley and tuning the SS should see some pretty nice gains though. The only thing its missing is just like the first year of the SRT is the lack of LSD. Although I hear a quaiffe unit is already available.
