Dodge Caravan Turbo VS. Cobalt SS Supercharged
Not really a race mind you, this is a Friend of mine's Caravan in Calgary... Not my Cobalt though.

If that guy's best run is 15.08 @ 95 when boosting 20psi, there's no way he beat an ss/sc at only 13psi, but that's just my opinion...
But like you said, it's not really a race.

Those Caravan turbo's are no joke, saw one almost take down an S2000, Funny thing was it still had the woodgrain on the side, all of it's seats in it, and two 12"'s in the back.

That's the Allure of it all, if you don't understand what it's like to have a sleeper then you haven't lived yet, my good sir, that would make you the fool now wouldn't it?
www.turbododge.com go look at a few Omni GLH and GLHS's and you'll get the picture.

Also you could put a bed in the back too, or seat Seven, pull your Cobalt if it ever breaks down.

It's the infamous Van
Yah It's me the guy who beat the SS I Don't know if it was a Supercharged car for certain but it did pull me hard the first 20ft so I belive it was and as far as driving it as my only vehicle NO it is not. My reliable vehicle is An S series Jimmy but as far as sleepers go I have yet to have one that is so fun. and the cops Don't even glance at me when I go by .
The very best part is I only have $800 hundred Dollars in the whole van. As far as Honda S2000 go I'm sure any one of you guys could kick thier but one was at the track the other day when I went his best time was a 16.6
