I'll agree that if you dyno it with an AssJet, it feels like more.

Now I have a close to base model civic and am semi satisfied, sure I'd be happier with an Si but I can drive my LX and be somewhat happy with it, I can't say the same for that Cobalt.
i know, but if you are to take a car and remodel then turbo it, i don't think it should look like the old one.

if you saw a 1997 del sol with a turbo kit and hid's would you think "crx"? probably not. they are more like cousins than brothers.

the car still sucks. if i had a choice for under $20k new car, i think i would have to go with something else. not sure what though.

Probally any street bike for the same amount of money. But you probally are only speaking of cars so I say what ever your mom is driving.

Eh, you will never catch me in a Cobalt or an SRT-4 for that matter.

If I'm going to spend that kind of cash, I'd rather have a used Evo or STi.

It is cool that Chevy is in tune with the aftermarket world, though. Honda should try some of that. Factory turbo'd K anyone? Haha, just kidding.
