Matter of opinion.






Bench race much? The Cobalt is $24k, the GSR can be had for $28k. Hardly "twice the price".






I must be terrible at math, I didn't know the difference between $24k and $28k (or even MSRP for a GSR of $33k) was 40%.

Also, what happens on paper/theory vs what really happens on a track are two different stories. I'll shut up when I see a Cobalt vs Evo X on a track.


opinion.


id rather be seen in a tolerance club meeting than an Evo.



btw. What are you talking about with 28k?


MRSP from the mitsu website.



Stock Base 33k,


Upgraded 39k.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
