cobalt? 8 sec qmile?!? Looking at the ET DB. The fastest car listed is a cobalt from MAC4264 with a 8.18@168. Did a semi rearend the thing at 100 miles an hour at the starting line or was it launched off an aircraft carriers steam catapult?
Am I missing something here? gotta be a joke, right?

I saw that too. I dont know the car, but it has a 356 CI V8 in it and a 4 link so I am assuming that the term cobalt is about as loose as it gets when describing the car. Although it would be cool if GM sold it with rear drive, 4 link, and a V8.

Sounds just like what ford did a couple of years ago with a focus. Take the name badge off of a front wheel drive 4 cylinder pos and slap it on a tube chassis rear wheel drive full race v8. And did I mention spending 200k$ over the sticker price? It's just like pro stock drag racing or nascar, where the name on the car no longer has any correlation to the marketed product.

The motor that is in the car now is a former prostock truck engine. We are in the stages of building a 311 ci C-5r motor to run in the car. It should weigh about 3265 and it will run high 8 's. If it makes you guys fell better the engine that is in the car has LS1 firing order.

K&N's orange Cobalt still uses the Ecotec plant and it's run 9.3x. Still has the original window sticker in the rear window too.
