i dont care how much power they pack into a cavvy, or what they change the name to...its a girlie car, and i would never consider one, especially seeing as how mopar performance offers factory performance upgrades that put the SRT4 to 355 hp and 365 ft-lbs of torque, as well as suspension upgrades, so on.

a cavalier is a girly car but a civic isnt? Lets not call the kettle black there mr. pot 
for they were both named by the insurance company's of america in the top 10 list of cars driven by high school girls. And a cobalt is not a cavvy. Totally differant body platform, would be like comparing a civic to a RSX(not the performance ratio but you get the picture).

and I'll let the comment about MOPAR performance upgrades for the cobalt pass, even though MOPAR has and always been the performance department for Daimer-Chrysler, not GM. 
. Perhaps you are thinking about the neon srt-4?
