Cobalt ss 0-60 5.8 1/4 mile 14sec
Rx8 0-60 5.9 1/4 mile 14.5 sec

Put a turbo on the 8 if you want to smoke the ss.

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, build quality, and getting laid. Getting laid being a big one for me. I won't buy a Cavalier for never getting *** reasons alone, even if I could reconcile myself with never ever getting laid for the rest of my life. The 8 takes care of you, in more ways than one The Cobalt doesn't, and you will end up getting very friendly with Rosie Palm and her five sisters.

Don't worry RIWWP, I fixed your post for you

Driving a turbocharged Cobalt is quite similar to coming out of the closet.

At first it's a big surprise!!!












But in the end....

WTF is a Nimitz class submarine? As someone who works in shipbuilding, I find that just... WRONG.

I didn't even catch that... definitely a significant mistake. And I'm sorry, but no RX-8 is as cool as an aircraft carrier.

When my engine blew.. the nissan dealership said they would buy my car from me and they had a SS if I wanted a sports car! I said i would rather take my chances with mazda giving me a new engine plus that's not a sports car and hung up!

My lil bro's got a cobalt ss and he's said many times that he would trade his car for my 8 anytime. Obviously, I'm not going to take him up on his offer. Who cares if it takes off quicker, have you sat in one before? Do and you won't want to ever again.

Nothing personal, but have you ever owned a GM product? Reliable?

In a straight line the cobalt would probably be a car length or 2 ahead that's about it.
On a track, the cobalt would be behind by far.

Just tell the guy street racing doesn't make you cool, and if he showed up to a track with a cobalt, he'd be laughed at.

Sex = RX-8 loses if there is a ring involved

I read this in my University Biology class, and laughed for five minutes. I looked like a retard but it was worth it. <3.
