Link with Article (http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedan/112_0505_joysticks/index.html)
"Our Cobalt performed well within expected tolerances, returning a 6.1-second sprint to 60 mph and a 14.4-second, 99.3-mph quarter (within a tenth and one mph of our last test)."
Excellent, especially since MT has been getting slow times lately (6.0 seconds for a SRT4?!?!?!?).
There is sooo much aftermarket available for the SRT-4. There's really no competition here.
The SRT-4 is simply a crappy car with a big engine. The Cobalt is as sporty, yet has additional comfort and refinement.

Well, if you want cheap fun, the SRT is the clear pick. I suppose the Cobalt is more of a compromise.
Gimme the SRT4 the Cobalt is a horse pie on wheels.

I would also take a SRT4, but thats a bit of an overstatement about the Cobalt.
What about gerbil droppings?

Nope, I dont agree with that either.

Almost as sporty...and for some, that's not worth the compromise.
Differences are small, but I suppose some would give up a lot for a little more sport.

Considering the slow time here for the SRT-4 (most mags get 5 and a half or lower) and the huge aftermarket available through warranteed Mopar, the SRT-4 can be as sport as you want it to be. It's the clear winner, in my eyes.
I would take the Saturn ION RL as i could get the GM employee price right now. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Definitley the SRT-4....I've always like Neons. And when they're friggen quick, all the better.

Who just put refined and a GM product in the same sentence?
