Default first drive

took the new cobalt SS that we got in out for a run yesterday . granted i know its a front driver 4cyl . for what its intended for it does extremly well.
instant boost from 2000 on maxes out at about 12psi . has a factory autometer boost gauge full power, leather sunroof ,18's. drives very smooth and quiet acctuly . sticker is 22 not to bad for what you get . id say low 14's stock . good competion for the neon thats for sure and its a 2door which is better in my opinion . i think these cars will sell very good for chevy .
