Why does /o/ get so triggered when performance versions of American econoboxes are brought up? Like the SRT4, SHO, and Cobalt SS. Because God knows you collectively jizz your pants over any European or Japanese equivalents.
>>15020336
Srt4 nah, turbo ss doe
>>15020336
It's just shitposters. Ignore it. They love to benchrace hot shitboxes.
>>15020336
I wish we had these things in Australia.
It's a grocery getter, it's wrong-wheel drive and it probably looks a little ricey too. But it's still going to try taking me on at the lights. And again at the next set, and again, and again.
What isn't to love?

Daily reminder the Cobalt SS Turbo is STILL the fastest and best handling FWD car you can buy in America.
>slap a turbo on a 4 banger econobox

Sounds like what ricers should've done. Add a little more bite to their shitboxes.

>all while being cheaper
>>15020430
It's not that simple. All the American performance econoboxes, from the SRT4 to the Cobalt had many modifications over normal cars.
The Cobalt for example. The Cobalt SS had a different:
>engine
>transmission
>brakes
>shifter
>sway bars
>rear axle
>struts/shocks
>springs
>control arms
>ball joints
>seats
>gauges
>performance features like no-lift-shift
>something something "ignition switch"
>something something "takata airbags"
>something something "cobalt a shit deal with it"
>something something "no u"
Just getting this out the way just in case.
>>15020475
good man. The argument has been getting annoying. All cars have faults. The Cobalt is still a fantastic car.
>>15020336
/o/ is literally a NEET weeb orgy. Only nip and europoor cars are allowed to be good cars. Nevermind the fact that the vast majority of them are absolute garbage.
This skyline right here? Literally the best car ever made. That cobalt is awful tho
>>15020336
Because they're not hothatches and you guys don't seem to grasp the concept of a cheap, light, well handling car.
>>15020501
>you guys don't seem to grasp the concept of a cheap, light, well handling car.
see:
>>15020422
>>15020458
Is this the recipe to make a sports car out of any econobox?
>>15020336
The SRT4 is awful though. The build quality of a Dodge, a higher-perfomance engine bolted to a Dodge transmission, and the reliability that comes with the Dodge nameplate.
Dodge is (literally now) America's Fiat.
>>15020501
The only people who give a shit about hot hatches are FiST/FoST owners and that one Yuropoor tripfag.
>>15020531
I can tell you didnt own one. The only thing dodgw about the Srt-4 Neon was the body. Everything else was MIstubishi
>>15020550
>Everything else was MIstubishi
Which makes it much much worse.
>>15020557
Pearl Harbor was an inside job.
>>15020562
Nah. It was a bunch of Japs that were suicidal over how shitty Mitsubishi is and wanted a good way to commit suicide.
Because /o/ is full of euros and self hating americans that want to be euros or japs, therefore all american cars are shit.
>>15020550
>The only thing dodgw about the Srt-4 Neon was the body. Everything else was MIstubishi
>>15020550
No. The Neon was all Dodge. You're thinking of the Dodge CALIBER SRT4, which was HEAVILY related to the Lancer Evolution X, minus the AWD (it literally bolts right in), and a 2.4L Turbo instead of a 2.0L Turbo.
>>15020450
>faster
>you just have to give up build quality and equipment
>>15020566
Japan was an inside job.
>>15020577
Literally bolt in the rear suspension, propshaft, the Ev's transmission, and do a computer reflash and it's basically a better looking Lancer Evo X hatchback.
>>15020336
Everyone wants what they can't have, dude.
>>15020591
>better looking
agree to disagree
>when you look up these "performance" cars and they have less than 350kw
>>15020389
>wrong wheel drive
Shitposrer please
>>15020430
>slap a turbo on a 4 banger econobox
What's wrong with making the highest output 4-cylinder engine in production
>>15020636
I like how the Caliber looks over the Evo X. But I still think they're both hideous.
BTW, I remember this ad and thought it was hysterical.
>>15020683
What does that even mean
Anyway
American top trim performance fwd lacks the style and grace of stuff that came out if Honda and Toyota
>>15020689
That's the point. It's something the purists will stamp their feet and bellow about as it passes Miatas and 86es and goes on to try chasing our V8 landbarges.
>>15020683
>being disgusting Australian scum
>>15020715
Fuck you, not only is it FWD but it's heavy as shit. And it's got dogshit GM parts and ideology behind it instead of based Honda
I wish I had a Cobalt ss or Saturn ion redline to blow out rwd and jdmfags alike but I live in America and those cars just don't exist here
>>15020336
>not mentioning contour svt
what the hell is wrong with you?
>>15020775
It's a cool car but it didn't really catch on.
>>15020739
It's a steaming pile of GM shit and all you can see are the taillights. Isn't it infuriating?
>>15020458
Could this be fixed?
>>15020775
they said performance cars, anon.
>>15020824
No. it's hopeless.
>>15020824
If it's the 4 banger yes, they can take boost
Tangentially related:
can you tune a non-srt4 dodge neon?
is it a good idea?
>>15020581
The turbo ss is almost entirely different apart from shape than the regular cobalt. The only fault the car has is the interior is rental car tier
because the srt4 and the cobalt SS are shit
>>15020490
it isnt
its shit
deal wit it
>>15020422
>Daily reminder the Cobalt SS Turbo is STILL the fastest and best handling FWD car you can buy in America.

yeah, shame GM """engineers""" in charge of the ignition swtch were actually retarded
>>15020990
the only thing you can lose to a cobalt is your life after it turns off, crashes, and explodes
luckly such pieces of shit were not sold in my country
>>15020996
The engineers told GM to change it. The beancounters said no.
This is why accountants shouldn't run the show.
>>15020494
too bad that laptime is fake
>>15021002
>luckly such pieces of shit were not sold in my country
I beg to differ. Meet the Cobalt's direct sister car, sold everywhere else. Completely unrelated engine, but still a 2.0L turbo make 240 HP.
>>15021012
or rather, thats why you dont buy GM products
>>15020824
Yeah. Give it the Tau V8 out of the Genesis 5.0 (pointed the proper direction, of course) and lower it with a neon-on-black paint job.
>>15021023
"Not nice to meet you, Cobalt's direct sister"
>>15021037
I guarantee it was sold in your country under some brand.
>>15021045
don't remember me that
>>15021049
remind*
>>15021049
It's been sold under Chevrolet, Holden, Vauxhall and Saturn worldwide. The performance variant wasn't available everywhere, but the Astra was. In America, it was 140 HP 1.8L only.
>>15021045
Fug :-DD
>>15021068
>The performance variant
>140hp
>>15020422

Great car but slow as fuck in a straight line even the GSR is slow
>>15020450
Wow those come in FWD?
>>15021120
The performance variant had 240 HP you retard. 140 HP was the normal version.
>>15021159
and THIS is the performance variant's engine.
>>15021150
>Cobalt SS Turbo is STILL the fastest and best handling
The Integra handles better.

Balt bro reporting in, pham
>>15021335
Here we go again, z4m is 0.0005 seconds faster is 100x less reliable and is almost x3 more expensive and for $1000 in mods the ss will leave you behind so quick you'll open 4chan just to shit post about it

FastestLaps is literally trash, and that's not even counting the 'Technical Data' garbage they throw in for no reason.

You idiots realize that the ignition switch issues are because people put shit-tons of crap on their keychains now and the weight of it wears it out. If you aren't hanging 3 pounds of keys and lanyards and emoji keychains off of it you won't have a problem.
What's more, other manufacturers have had recalls for the same issue.
