Pretty cool video, although I'm more impressed by this one:

BTW the horsepower ratings are teh suck...the 05-07 ss/sc dyno around 215 stock, so they are underrated from the factory. The 08 ss/tc, rated at 260, dynos around 240. Both cars are capable of low 14's stock with a good driver.

The 08 Cobalt set a record at Nurnuring for its class at 8:22.85
That is pretty impressive.

The first time I saw the XF was while it was driving through New Brunswick, NJ (Easton Ave) all covered in vinyl camouflage, being trailed by an S Type R. (I think my son has a pic of it on his cell phone.)
IMHO, it is the best look Jag sedan to come along in quite some time. Seems to me that the designers DID spend some time analyzing Lexus products. (which is not a bad thing)

New XF is awesome, I love everything about it. And the interior is so modern Jaguar, I always felt Jaguar interiors to be so old luxury. But this is the right direction they're heading, can't wait for more future products.

I just read in the new Road & Track that they felt the 08 Cobalt SS was one of if not the best handling FWD cars they've ever tested. That says boat loads. Although I'm not a fan of either car's design, you can't argue for the money they are pretty tough to beat.

Drifting
I didn't even know they went to a turbo instead of the SC. 260 lbs of torque at 2k rpm, that is pretty impressive. Has just as much, if not more, than my CL for 23k. Although I am not a big fan of chevys, these do look pretty nice in person, I've seen quite a few on the road.
