the cobalt does deserve to be in that list. however, i dont agree with everything in it. the turbo trans am with the 301 turbo was a terrible engine and not in any way fast. imo the scyclone and typhoon shouldnt be 2 seperate entries, they are the same thing. same with the svo mustang and t-bird turbo coupe, same engine, same platform. really the same deal with the turbo dodges, however in those they missed the shelby turbo 3 with the dohc head and vnt turbo, something very impressive for its day.

i would have had the turbo sunbird on the list, while not a blazing fast car it was rated at 185hp, and was neck and neck with the dodge turbo 2s. also would have had the very rare 1989 grand prix tgp 3.1l turbo on the list. 210hp, quick for its day, and the only fwd v6 turbo of its era.
