I had the opportunity to drive mine for 10kms, mixec city and hwy, and I was sold after the test drive. I had read up a lot on these cars so I knew what I wanted. I also chose the 4 door, just to be different.

The engines are well underated, as per the previous post noted, most are producing around 240 to 250 to the wheels stock, and with an ECU tune, over 300hp/300lbsft at the wheels have been seen after a good tune by one of the Cobalt Tuners, Trifecta/HP Tuners/Hahn Racecraft.

Even GM's stage one turbo upgrade, mild tune, produces near 280 to 290 at the wheels (apparently).

Lots of potential with this car, lots of mods available.
