I may be new to the Cobalt, but not new to cars...
I owned a m3 vert before coming back to the dark side. The bmw argument is invalid. Theyit are ok, until you have maintenance.

An M3 Vert is not a real M3...case closed. Verts weight way too much...slower than coupes ...their chick cars. We always flame the Vert owners...ugly too.
Plus, what year did you own...?? Maintenance is easy on them, I do it all myself...cost is high. Oil change if you do it yourself will run you around 125 bucks...so that sucks.

Come to the M3 forum pal, ...and I bet you will look like a newb too...
Just remember our LNF commands a very different AFR.

Man I just looked up that BMW 10W60 TWS. That is an incredible cost per oil change.

I never built my M3, that is why I am here..if you read my first post you will see that this is my main complaint. Its too darn expensive to build an M3. I am looking for something cheap and fun, not a car that has an engine that costs 25k. I just did cosmetic mods to it, intake and an exhaust and it cost me 4k.
That's 1/3 the price of a cobalt...lol...

I am sure it is like a SRT4 .. I used to have it around mid 11's at WOT.
What is different about the Cobalt?

What he said. Problem with the Cobalts is FWD is a limiting factor. AWD or RWD is better.

If you're stretching all the way from Houston to NY to look for a car you may as well check mine at out as well.

Well maintained and in great shape, plus we don't even know what snow is here in Phoenix.

Sure does look clean, but I am looking for a black one with LSD with low miles.
