05 CTS-V vs. 05 SRT-4
A buddy and I ended up next to eachother while I was heading back to work from getting gas and he was heading home from work. We desided to line them up in Mexico and see how his car would do.
I was in 1st gear at 30mph. I counted to 3 with my fingers out the window, took the hit on 3 and jumped out about 1.5 cars, shifted to to 2nd and pulled another 2 cars and ran it up to the top of 2nd and had a solid 3 cars on him when I shifted into 3rd and shut it down..
All and I his car sounded great and I LOVE the sound of his turbo when he pulled back up next to me. Not sure what's his mods are, but I know that he's pretty close to stock. We'll run again when we can go all out! I also what to get a few dig runs in next time...

I ran an SRT4 once. Of course he started making excuses at the light on the offramp afterward though. lol And that was at elevation where the boost is a huge advantage (I'm at 6100 feet here which suuuuccckkksss).

I traded an '09 Cobalt SS Turbo on my '05 V.
The SS had 260 hp stock, but with a Trifecta Tune it was pushing close to 300hp(22psi). I never ran mine down the 1/4 mile, but others reported that with just the tune, it was a mid to low 13 second car at 107-109mph. Lack of traction being the only thing from going quicker. Though with those trap speeds, it would give a stock V1 a run for its money - especially from a roll.
I admit it did run damn good with the tune, but that was about the best part of the car. The rest was still a Cobalt... I don't care how fast the turbo 4 bangers can go, I prefer a real car.

That said, the performance and economy of some of these cars like the SS, Mazdaspeed 3, SRT-4, etc, is impressive. However, the FWD seems to pay zero dividends in terms of all-weather abilities.
