I also came from the cobalt SS and yes they are fast and their engine are less likely to blow...
But I still love my Evo more

to that mentality, you could buy a used Civic or Integra for 5,000, and then you have 45000-55000 thousand to spend on upgradesMy MR; 290hp does 0-60 in around 5 seconds. ; 50-60,000$
Used Cobalt SS/TC; 265hp does 0-60 in 5.5 seconds; 15-20,000$
I am saving 30-40,000$. How fast could I make this cobalt with that money.
Why bother buy an expensive car ? Why not just build one to your liking.
if you only drive in 0-60 increaments in a straight line...i guess soMy MR; 290hp does 0-60 in around 5 seconds. ; 50-60,000$

Why don't you sell the evo and go do it?My MR; 290hp does 0-60 in around 5 seconds. ; 50-60,000$

You want a car that's nice and is excellent bang for the buck... get a gti. A 1/4 mile means no more than the person who's running it.... hey look at me!!! I can't drive fast in a straight line. At the end of the day the x is simply a heavy car... but wayyyy more technically sophisticated than some pos chevy.I had a Cobalt SS/SC stage 2 with all the bolt ons, and a 1.6 inch super charger pulley. Never had any engine issues, although that stock cavalier clutch they use is garbage. Surprisingly I got 56000 miles out of my stock clutch on my SS/SC, and i learned to drive stick on it. was probably making 260WHP and the car only weighed 2700lbs. Cut a 13.2 in the 1/4 and thats a FWD car. It was quite a little crotch rocket.
the Turbocharged ones are way faster. I have seen people tune them with mild bolt ons and hit 12's e z. People turboswapping them hitting 11's all day long. Bang for the buck, they are probably one of the cheapest cars you can easily make fast with just a few bucks. However, at the end of the day its still a cobalt. My brother had a saturn ion redline, and he got himself in trouble alot cause he always felt like he had something to prove. You drive an Evo, so you really shouldnt have to prove yourself to anyone, and hell yea, the Evo is way nicer, especially if you were lucky enough to get the heated seats/leather/sunroof, I really wish I would have waited a year lol.
