A stock cobalt SS would beat a stock rx8 off the line.. but even a greddy turbo in a rx8 would blow the cobalt away.

if you want to know which is "faster" bhp vs. curb weight and bhp vs. curb weight. end of discussion. no need for insults aimed at respected forum members. do your own fuckin homework

If fastest is your sole criterion, the '8 is not for you......

allanstrings 04-09-2009 08:06 PM

wow, such hostility....

also, insulting a 3k poster who was just being snarky isn't going to get you much positive flow on your thread.

As far as the cars go, which one is faster is kind of a broad question. Faster off the line? Faster for auto-x? Faster at dropping panties?

SS is heavy front drive turbo power with an econo box interior, semi-bland styling, and gobs of torque steer. Enough power to smoke up your fronts at a red light if you are all about that kind of thing, but has very little fun to offer in the corners. Understeers terribly.

An RX is light, nimble, well balanced, rear drive power with a unique style and slick interior. Enough power to get you illegal very quickly, but not a musclecar. RX's are all about the twisties and flat out speed on the open road, not stop light racing.

Drive them both and buy what you like best. If you really like one of them you are probably not going to like the other at all.

um, the SS is actually lighter AND more powerful than the 8, the only thing going against it is it's driving the wrong wheels, and the chevy/GM stigma, if there's such a thing...

Rootski 04-09-2009 08:30 PM

Go buy the Cobalt.

alz0rz 04-09-2009 08:39 PM
