plus the noise!!!
Test track could be an 1/8 mile go cart track. This has TOO much potential.
... I can balance stationary (or relatively so) bicycle almost indefinitely. I'm not really the most avid of riders either. The balance of the rider + the slight gyroscope makes it work. Also the geometry of the bike makes it want to track straight and the wheels will want to roll at their widest point as it offers…

Wellll.. Doesnt appear to have done much actual damage.
I, similar to your affiliation with Honda, am not in any way a Chevrolet fanboy. The cars on my list were: newer wrx, Civic Si, older STI, older Evo, R32. I, like everyone else, thought that the Cobalt was a slow car driven primarily by 16 year old girls (also fairly true). I honestly didn't know that a turbo…
What was that you said about under steer and torque steer??
Who said anything about drag racing? The Si is fine its just very pedestrian and lacks any real sporting pretentions. Look at the new Si - its widely regarded as being horrible. The pinnacle of Honda si cars ended with the crx and those 92 boxy things. Also calling it 80s is pretty dramatic. I'm willing to bet the…
In context. You said rattletrap, electrical issues. You think the I drive system and 10+ computers in a modern M car will be functioning in 30-40 years? Absolutely not. The cobalt is as simple as they come. I bet an ABS controller for a modern M3 will cost more than an entire driveline for the cobalt. And the cobalt…
After a poke around I see the newer M3's are holding their value quite well, I have not looked into it prior, but my friend from high school that I have known a long time owns a 2006 BMW M6 (yes, he drove this in HS), and he says that at this point it is in his best interest to drive it until the wheels fall off. It…
Definitely not. I am beginning to realize that while many people talk about lap times and going fast, etc. very few people are willing to give up creature comforts or badge prestige in the pursuit of going faster. I could have easily bought an older BMW or Merc. given my budget, but I was after speed.
I found one unmolested and unmodified with all service done at the dealer with a book of reciepts, one owner. A surprising number of these have remained untouched or have very tasteful modifications as many people bought them for auto-x or to track. A few have ended up being drag raced, but most people who want to…
If you were one of the first to tune on the platform that is still quite good, I was just making the comment so that others would see that they have far more potential than that. I know HP tuners was very limited at first on the LNF, but that has since been ironed out and it is by far the preferred tuning software. …
Well for starters I have yet to be in one in recent years that hasn't suffered from the famous Toyota disintegrating dashboard problem. The motor in stock form is less than impressive as well. Aside from that it is based on the supra/soarer if I remember correctly and even Titan motorsports (in their interview by…
They did sell very well. They just did not produce many or advertise them in any capacity. Because of GM's state at the time (08-10 was not the best time for them financially) it made it really amazing that this car even exists. Like I said I would challenge you to be unbiased and sit in both cars, side by side and…
Now playing
Not necessairly - The cobalt in this video has a mild 20psi ($300) tune and is on good tires. If you read the description it is a INSTRUCTORS SESSION. Meaning that these are driving instructors driving. So I would call it pretty even.
Now in kinja: spot the people who are butthurt because they got destroyed on the street/track by a Cobalt. (its pretty obvious)
no, she didn't
