230 lb-ft of torque for a 3300 pound car Vs 200 lb-ft of torque for a 2900 pound car, you have to keep in mind that it also depends on how the torque curve is for each car. Its always been my contention that a flatter torque curve (as the Cobalt SS has thanks to its Supercharger) means more consistent power delivery to the wheels which translates into more useful power to help you accelerate.
My favorite example is the Civic SI or the RSX Type-S (hondas are the Cobalt's whipping boys), both cars make as much if not more horsepower than the Cobalt SS/SC and weigh about the same, however the Hondas only have what, 140 or so lb-ft of torque. That explains why the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are a little slower for the Hondas. Where the Hondas are helped for that lack of torque is with their high reving engines. So a 350Z and a Cobalt SS/SC would be a driver's race, drivers of equal skill and the 350Z may have the slimmest of margins.

horsepower sells cars, torque wins races. I dono about the z, but most cars make pretty big torque on the juice and a hundred shot is a pretty damn big shot. I'll look into it, and as of now i beleive this race story, but the 3 or 4 people running 100 shots on the 4.0's on the mustang forums are making over 400 ft lbs, and 1 of them almost broke 500 ft lbs...if the z is anywhere near that it would rape the balt. Does anyone know how z's respond to juice?
