comparing cars

Teh cobalt is fun a zippy the supercharger kicks *** and eddie is master of the burn out but teh cobalt lacks overal handling and the wheels were way to big for that car. I would zip through the auto cross course in second gear with the cobalt, but with the civic, I blasted through in teh top of 3rd and caught up to a corvette

holy resize

the cobalt was zippy. lots of kick on the low end.
handled decent, not too much understeer

the si had no guts , 6k+ and the red light is
where you need to stay hehe . i was reading that
it holds on to the revs artificially above 6k .

it was sweet franco took both cars to the limit on that track ,
the si was clearly the favorite

o ya eddie was gonna get kicked out
