I know it's not fair to compare a V8 to an I4, but comparing that launch to a LT1 Camaro (275 horse) and watching the torque and wheel spin involved ... and I'll say give me the V8 anyday. Also got 28 mpg highway.

Don't mis-understand ... I'm not trash talking. I just think it's sad that we're getting so excited about a I4 that puts out less HP and also get's worse gas mileage.
Then lets be fair the 3rd gens only got that mileage if they were babied on the interstate. Day to day driving, the Cobalt will get much better mileage with the same type of driving.

But, I was not impressed with those launches in the video. They just looked weak.
