The Cobalt SSâ??s powerful 260hp turbocharged ECOtec powerplant, fade-free Brembo brakes and dialed-in suspension helped it run away from its competitors by being able to accelerate faster, brake later and turn in sharper. All of these benefits come standard with any Cobalt SS and are the reason why no other front-drive compact car has turned a better time at the Nürburgring. Motor Trend was so impressed with the Cobalt SS that they awarded it 2nd place in their 8 car comparison even though the Cobalt ran circles around the first place recipient, the Volkswagen GTI.

They accredited this egregious error in part to the fact that the cabin in the GTI was better and it was equipped with a â??niftyâ?? DSG gearbox. However, there isnâ??t enough â??niftyâ?? inside the GTI to wipe the look of disappoint off oneâ??s face as the Cobalt SS racks up over 7.5 more mph in the 1/4 and almost 2 full seconds of lap time around a short one-mile racetrack. All while having saved over $2,000 more dollars on the MSRP of our Cobalt SS versus the GTI that we can use to strap on tons more go fast goodies from GM Performance Parts like the upcoming LNF Upgrade Kit that will give the Cobalt SS an increase of over 30hp and 80lb.-ft or torque. Stay tuned to GMTunerSource.com for all the latest info on that upgrade also.
