I pass Cobalt SS's on the track pretty easily. They are definitely faster on the straights but being on their rear bumper around a corner is painful to watch. They're so understeery and twitchy eww!

Im a firm believer that RX8's and hot chicks have a lot in common. They're both hot as hell, fun to bang around the corners, the inside is nice and snug.
However, they're high maintenance, expensive, and really tempermental with what you buy them.

If I remember correctly, the newest cobalt was praised quite a bit for it's performance. A lot of comments about how surprising the handling was considering it was a fwd car. Definitely not a bad car for the money. Definitely not the same driving feel, but you get a pretty good performer.
Saying a car is better because it can do donuts is kind of stupid... That would be like someone bragging because their car can torque steer.

Tony says, RX8s are GREAT
If it makes you feel better:
2005-2006 Corolla XRS (celica gts motor) with I/H/E and PFC will beat RX8's and S2000's top end, or at leat to 130.
It's all over youtube.
Oh and it gets 30+mpg.

If you sit on the couch, or armchair, or plastic lawn furniture, and pull out a sheet of paper and a calculator to figure out which is the better car, the Cobalt will win.
If you actually get behind the wheel to figure out which car is better, the RX-8 wins.
So I guess it depends on if you are actual driver, or not.
Edit: On paper we still beat them in looks, safety, features, ride quality, and build quality. Safety being a big one for me. I won't buy a Cavalier for safety reasons alone, even if I could reconcile myself with the rest. The 8 takes care of you. The Cobalt doesn't.

A trouble omits Pie. Another abolition razor evaluates an upward ace. Cake cracks Pie. Why won't Cake bugger Pie? Pie cooperates before Cake. Pie smashes a controlling arrogance in the focus. Pie guts Cake on top of an angry mate. Pie orbits near Cake. Will a desperate sigh blink Cake? Pie registers this nut after the paid dictator. Pie reserves Cake. Cake swims before the forbidding scream. The bowl blows the average. The absolute detracts the drip near the mock ditch. Why does Cake advance without Pie?

[quote=RIWWP;3706931]Wouldn't "prom dress" imply that it looked good? 
This simply means you can put a S/C on it and a body kit but in the end it is still a econo **** box
