My fun car is a built Cobalt SS. got it brand new and pulled the motor at about 3k miles and fully built the internals, Supercharged with about 25 psi. did a bunch of body work and send the car to alot of shows.
My wife just got her first toy and its the 04 RX-8... pretty fun car. has Greddy exhaust and AEM intake
We share an offroad vehicle, its a Jeep grand cherokee. has a lift and alot of extras
I have a project car i havebeen working on for alomost a year now. been building adrift car. its a 93 240sx coupe. dropped a RB25det skyline motor in it. has a larger turbo, greddy intake mani, greddy exhaust, Sparco racign seat, k sport coil over kit, hks fuel rail, aeromotive full fuel system, and theres more im forgetting lol. as for the body it has a full wide body kit (still unpainted) and carbon fiber hood.

I wish i could locate a 240 shell for under 500. I would go pick it and make it perfect then drop an RB in her. I have a body shop and access to everything so I could have the whole car ready to go in couple months.

Cobalt SS has got to be one of the most underrated cars. It's got to be one of the best performance bargains.
Fastest stock FWD around the Ring (the TC version), no?

mine is supercharged. even stock this was fast car. brand new retail around 22 grand. HP rated at 205, quarter mile 14.5
my actual numbers were much different. i picked mine up under 20 due to the fact the dealers owner used it as a demo.. paid 18 out the door still had only 500 miles.
my car put down 215 at the wheels bone stock. and my quarter mile stock was a 14.4.... IMO the cobalt is the best bang for your buck
