cobalt ss supercharged or dodge srt-4?

I know..I know...not a good forumn to post this type of thread but I made a post before about getting rid of my 2.3cl for the srt-4 since I can't afford luxury right now might as well go for speed. Other 2 cars I thought of which were the Colbalt supercharged and the Acura Rsx-S which I already scratched off my want list so this just leaves me with the Cobalt and the srt-4. I test drove both already and by far the srt-4 is raw power but I think the cobalt has more style to it plus when I sat in it just felt more classier.

My question is this: If you must ONLY choose between these 2 cars and no others which one would u go for?

U should really make this a poll question. But if I had to choose I'd go with the Cobalt SS.

srt-4...i like turbo's more...you should be able to get the srt for next to nothing. GM is on that new pricing thing where they don't haggle (like saturn's been doing for years) plus srt-4's just sound mean

i'd say cobalt ss.. but only if you take off the spoiler



i've raced both of them, and ridden in both of them i like the cobalt more


plus i'd take the cavalier over the neon any day



AND on chevys website they give part numbers and gm part discriptions to make like 300-500 hp 500-800 hp and 800+ hp out fo that motor

You are correct. 3rd gen eclipses and up are not even dsm there is no more dsm. Dsm was just an amercan contracot the 1st ans second gen eclipses were only made here there is no jdm eclipse, dsm are garbage in my eyes dsm stars for "D*** sucking Mouth"

4G63 motor is not anything like the 2.4t in the srt4 4g63 is a 2.0 totally differnent motors, even the old turbo and non turbo eclipses are totally different motors turbo one was from japan mitsu and the rs and gs non turb motor was a crystler

well, ive been in an Srt-4 and the new colbalt SS. Id go with the srt-4 even though it lacks sophistication that the colbalt has over it. It just seems to me, that the srt-4 has better and easier aftermarket with its turbo etc than the colbalt. Plust, ive seen some mopar Stg 3s with some goodies and there FUCKING QUICK !!!

forget both of those forced induction options that wont be worth shit in 3 years, if your looking for reliability and you still want speed get a CIVIC SI, if your any kind of honda buff as most of us are, then you should consider that. its gonna be the hottest car in 06, i gaurentee it. there gonna sell like crazy at my company.

i guess some people dont want to be slow for the rest of their lives?

SRT4 would be my vote the interior and ect might not be super fantastic... unless you reallylike cheap plastic. but the performance aspect and fun drive at the price is fuckin GREAT

im pritty much blind about the cobalt dont see them around
