For the one that have not seen it.

This is pretty good. Check it out. The commercial is not very long before you get to the real show.

---------------------------Not bad considering it's not a JCW and 100 HP less then the cobalt.--------------------------

I test drove a supercharged Cobalt about a year ago. Worst car I've ever driven in my life I hope they were at least comparing it with the newer turbo model, the video didn't really specify.

I still kept that particular Motor trend magazine at home, here is a few highlights:

1) That car is plain stock with run-flat dunlop + heavy crown spoke, most likely has no LSD.
2) It pulls 1.5+g max cornering g on Leguna Seca
3) It's the quickest car in test to start an overtake move
4) It's the second quickest car in test to complete an overtake more (only behind Nissan GTR, quicker than R8/E90 M3 despite huge power disadvantage etc.)
