Gobs of power from the new engine and an optional limited-slip diff allowed the Cobalt to take most of the track in third gear. The SS hurtled forward with an anger missing in the rest of LL1 and much of the LL2 group. Despite the explosive power and front weight bias, the Cobalt SS resisted the typical understeer found in front-drive cars. The SS goes about its business with almost no drama. You only realize how quick it is when you arrive at start-finish and wonder, “How’d I get here so fast?”

No neon no care? pwn.T

In contrast, the Dodge Caliber SRT4’s high center of gravity, persistent body motions, and understeer made it a challenge to make the most of its 285 turbocharged horses. Not helping the cause was an open front differential that resulted in one tire spinning madly whenever the engine was sucking in boost. Lapping the Dodge was an exercise in managing understeer; no other vehicle abused its front tires as sadistically as the Caliber. But this weakness sometimes worked in its favor because the understeer inspired confidence and allowed for fast corner entries.

Well there's a bunch of 08's on ebaymotors now that have <1000 miles you could probably talk down to 18k, maybe lower.

Damn right no neon no care.
The caliber is not a neon, nor a proper replacement. The Caliber is a joke all the way around.
