[s-cars] Want it. Can't have it.

[Theodore Chen]

ah, yes.  but don't forget the $650 factory upgrade kit, comprising chips and a MAP sensor, that is fully warranted and boosts output to 315 hp and 340 lb-ft.  that's 157.5 hp/liter from a GM engine with a factory warranty and gives the cobalt 9.4 lb/hp.

the cobalt SS matched the E46 M3's 'ring time with 260 hp despite the M3's superior power to weight ratio (10.2lb/hp) and RWD.

9.4lb/hp AWD vs 11.4lb/hp FWD, hmmmm, maybe, yes, even if it's "only" a
Haldex AWD.

OTH, if you factor in the $ per minute, maybe not.

cobalt SS around the nurburgring.
