I personally think there are alot of imports that yield great potential for performance.Evos being the obvious beast for many reasons.
When a nice vette rolls up,people dont roll their eyes,they dont laugh.WHY?
Becasue it projects class.A sort of statement that expresses quality.Thats a hard pill to swallow for many import and econo owners.They will complain about personal preference and whine about cost.
Drive what you drive and keeping an open mind are essential characteristics for any and all true car enthusiasts.

don't kid your self, there is almost no one I know that knows what a cobalt is and the ones around here don't turn heads. as hard as it is for you to accept cobalts look just like monte carlos, and tcs, and camerys and god knows what else. I get complements on my car from all kinds of different poeple, but thats not why I got it.

How would his car looking like other formulas,be different from any other car looking like the same model?That didnt make sense.
What is cool about the Cobalt is its FI from factory..That doesnt suck.
Are there faster Cobalts out there,then say.....my car.Absolutely.But dont think ill get walked by just any car(speaking for all LS1 owners)just because my car is
9 years old.

From my experience the cobalt turned some heads when I got it in 05 probably because there weren't any around. Doesn't turn many heads now though. Driving around in my bro's 94 z28 no one looks either. If I take the vette ill get some looks. I really couldn't give a **** what someone else thinks of my cars though. Im the one who likes it and thats what matters. If someone wants to turn heads go buy a viper.
Theyre just newer.In 10-12 years...How will they compare?This is all in response to bashin the lt1.I think you really believe what youre writing.They sure are shinier.....Looks better?(If I need to cruise by a highschool)
Im just givin you a hard time. 
Thats subject to opinion.(Stock appearance lt1)

I just think cobalts look like riced out cavaliers.
thats just me. with them being discontinued for 08', i think it's actually doing us GM guys a solid. Even though they could be good performers.
