So I test drove a Cobalt SS/SC

Well, I wasn't really impressed with it. Lowend power is there but it didn't seem to have anything up top. I have been told its due to the drive by wire system so it has no seat of the pants feel. Either way tho, didn't feel anywhere close to 205hp. Have any of you guys driven one? I think the srt-4 is a better buy, its quicker and the interior is much nicer. The only thing I liked about the inside was the leather seats but, I would rather srt viper seats tho.

well, it is a neon after all. I think they get killed off next model yr & replaced w/a car on a bigger platform. need to find the C&D issue that has it.

Cobalt SS & Neon SRT4 will run neck 'n neck stock vs stock from a dig, I read a nice juicy track test comparing the two... SRT-4 was like .2 faster in the 1/4 mile but the SS owned it on the autox and road course.

I don't think Neons are cute at all, they're just plain ugly, 4 doors with no flow in its form. The Cobalt looks way better, esp. the yellow one I saw.

That's the problem with the Root blower sometimes. It's awesome at the very low end but won't have much at the top.

I thought they were stoping the srt-4 in 05 so there would be no 06 model or is that next year?
