yea when they are stock.
how many all motor cobalts have you seen that can run low 12's?
this is VERY easy to achieve in a honda.
i think that the fastest is even like 9 secs all motor.
i'm not a guy who is all about hondas, but they deserve more respect than they get.

Whats your definition of very easy??
Who do you think you are fooling here?? Hondas are not meant to go fast. Their most powerful FWD 4 cylinder makes 197HP. Combine that with FWD, weak trannies, weak axles, weak chassis, and very expensive parts and tuning, and you have yourself a real worthless pile of ****. They are a joke.
ok but you missed the point.
you spent 20k on a brand new tc. i'm talking about buying an old honda and spending 5k on it and you would be under 15k total budget.
all i'm saying is that cobalts will never be as established in the aftermarket parts world as hondas. that's a fact.

Lets see...spend 20K on a BRAND NEW car thats going to be reliable, efficient, well build, quick, and handle and stop very well...or....waste tons of money that you will never get back trying to make some old pile of **** Honda fast that was never meant to do anything more than get groceries. In which case you end up with a car thats still slow, still ugly, still unreliable, and still an old piece of ****.
And that in a nutshell is why the entire Honda "tuning scene" makes no sense at all.

You can polish a turd, but in the end its still a piece of ****.

i've given credit to this already clearly a tc is a better car.
but seriously, why would you spend $20,000 on a new car to go into a tuning scene?
not saying that everyone who owns one is, but the ones who are don't give credit where it's deserved.
my friends 04 rsx-s has close to 200,000 miles on it, and he races nearly every weekend.
and we are neck and neck up unitl about 100, at which point he begins to pull on me with a random assortment of ebay parts and a stage 2 clutch.
here's a link to his f/s thread if you think this is ugly then get off your GM highhorse

notice that we dont have anything special on our cars like I-Vtec. We dont need fancy sounding part names to make our cars look, "sound", and be fast. you can buy a used cobalt for 8K, put 3K into it and make 260HP easy. It would take 7K or 8K to do that in a honda.

damn good point about the cobalt being able to push 260hp easy, that's what happens when you start with a boosted motor from the start
i'm not gonna argue my point any more, because you clearly don't know **** about hondas.

Meanwhile you have cars like the F-body, Corvette, and GTO that come from the factory with a 1-4 skipshift feature - and does it damage the trans?? No, because they are well built and use high quality components. Unlike Honda transmissions which are piles of jap crap.
If you are getting beat by an RSX-S with ebay parts, then there is something seriously wrong with your car. My friend has an RSX-S, and its slow as hell. Not even a race at any speed.

You either save your money and work hard to buy a nice car, or you have no money and end up buying a piece of **** (riced up Honda).
