Not only did the Cobalt SS T/C absolutely spank the Mugen Si, it was also faster than the Evolution MR, 135i, Lexus IS F, Honda S2000 CR, Lotus Elise SC, Infiniti G37 coupe, and Subaru Impreza WRX STI.
Interesting note. Per Car and Driver they lapped the Mugen Si 1.7 seconds quicker than they did the '06 Honda Civic Si coupe. Looks like it does improve the car, but what you get for nearly $10,000 should be a lot more than 1.7 seconds IMO. It was also almost 12 seconds slower than the Cobalt.
The interior may suck, but this car cannot be denied the fact that it hauls some serious ass. That time is incredible.
