^ 300 HP definately works better when coming through the rear wheels when compared to the front. I think the point is that a 4.6L V8 should be putting out more than 300 this day in age.

A cobalt, w/ 2.2L ecotec Turbo would be a bad little car. The power the engine is putting out in the Solstice GXP is pretty awesome. I would love to see that in a cobalt.

Edit: Oops I mispelled ecotec. I think I may have even mispelled it that time. Oh well you get the point.

YUP

I think FORD is sitting on its laurels....having no competition and all. I already hear a 400 HP GT just in time for challenger and camaro. Kind of ironic on that timing of that.

Correct, still though from a 4cyl thats decent. TQ on the other hand...

I see the HHR SS is a go and info is showing up in dealers.
3 Turbo's Cobalts have been spotted as well, I cant seem to find a pic.

It's got a lot of power.... it's still ugly and probably handles like crap. I liked the SRT4 better and remember how much trouble they had with that thing with torque steer and getting traction? This thing is gonna be un-drivable unless they make a 4wd version. 4wd turbo hatch ala rally style... now that would be hot! All they have to do is make it look cool now.

edited...kinda wish they made the KR (or the Super Snake) design the normal Shelby design...i cant afford it, but my next car'll be a 'Stang

as for the Caliber...not bad...i would drive that over the Magnum.

Funny how it took a "SUPERSNAKE" Mustang to finally get a cool looking hood on a Mustang.
