This video is bogus if people think the cobalt was the faster of the 2 cars. Good thing this was done on a closed course

370Z ftw
Yeah, IMO youtube videos are useless. However, the Cobalt SS/TC with just bolt-ons can easily achieve 350/360 hp, and keep in mind that it is 300 lbs. lighter than the Z. Don't let the Cobalt's low-rent rental look fool you, it has a very capable chassis with terrific suspension and a very capable engine. In stock form is no match to the Z (13.9 @ 104mph), but all it takes is $1,5k in bolt-ons to blow the doors out of any Z. It sucks, but is what it is.
