The Cobalt dominated this test. The $22k Cobalt was faster than the following cars:

- EVO MR
- STI
- ISF
- 135i
- S2000 CR
- Elise SC
- G37 Sport
- Challenger SRT8
- S5
- R32
- Mugen Si

I still can't believe it. I'm in shock.

The CTS-V and Corvette did well too. I wonder how fast the Corvette would've been on better tires?
At least 7 of those cars are >3500 lbs, most of those cars can, and will bow away a Cobalt in a straight line. Interesting, but this time stands out the most to me:
Shelby GT500: 3:05.9

And this is coming form a front heavy, 4000 lb car with no IRS whatsoever. Interesting...
