Chevy Sleeper

the reason a 'corvette engine" in another car doesn't inpress me, is that they're taking an engine out of a car that I can already beat and putting it in a slower car.

Forgive me for not gushing about the brilliance of this whole scheme lol.


...but the GXP that tried to race me did look pretty nice as it got smaller in my mirror. And the Cobalt SS? Don't make me laugh.

You are looking at this from the absolute wrong view point. It's not about being fast, it's about GM being the only company that has kept hotrodding alive through the factory building cars that were built for speed. Ford has done that to an extent, but nowhere near as much as GM. Mopar, from the 90s until 2005 had only the Viper to carry the Mopar performance torch. And yes, you are talking to someone who owns a Chebby. The Cobalt SS from 05-09 was considered one of the best turboed 4 cylinders of the time. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sports/112_0903_sport_compact_car_comparison/viewall.html It came in second, and guess what the type of car it was is exactly what I hear a lot of complaining about. Stripped down absolutely bare bones rental car interior, go fast under the hood. It's the closest thing we had to an old muscle car with the exception of fwd/4cyl power.
