Just a little summer fun, both races, cobalt wins, not by much but some.

If a bone stock Cobalt beat an '04 GT 5spd, sounds like the Mustang driver's fault. But whatever, good runs I guess

The GT was faster then the camera car.
Anybody notice the Cobalt was the same size as the Mustang too, so much for compact. The Cobalt got off the line a bit quicker too. Driver is very important. Dont worry, there are a few quick Mustangs out there.

seems about right a new ss cobalt will put 200 to the wheels and they only weigh 2,900lbs, but that mustang driver should have taken him from a dig.

Dig, or roll... stock Cobalt should be close, but shouldn't beat one.
