That laptime is outstanding improvemnt over the old FWD laprecord... more power, limited slip diff, and high perfromance brembo brakes there you go...good job by the Chevy guys.. would not be surprised if Manuel Reuter was the driver.

Is that Ring lap official and is it a full lap? 8:22 is an amazing time for a car like this, faster than a Boxster S even though the Porsche is faster in a straight line, lighter and almost certainly handles better..... its also faster than the Impreza WRX STi and EVO...... I'd like to see some more lap times as this is suspiciously quick!

Heyhuub 30/10/07, 10:22:21
That's the first thing i thought too.

They say it was tested in Nordschleife throughout all development process and they say it now holds official lap record for production FWD cars.

Georg 30/10/07, 15:40:01
Possible... GM has Opel in Germany and Opel use the same ecotec engine in the Astra OPC..but with lower power, without high perfromance brembo brakes without limited slip diff...and the Opel Astra OPC has set in 2005 the FWD record at the Ring for production cars with 8:35min... now add 20hp more and lot more torque.. brembo brakes and limited slip diff... there you are.. btw..why should they lie..they beat a record in their own hands.. (GM)

The OPC record was beaten (by a fraction of a second) by the Ford Focus ST..... that held the record until now.

Is there any reference link for that laptime?

no time clocked in the video

the 8:22 is recorded at the Nürbergring so stop talking so crap and live with it. An american car do better than a japaneses or german, until now that the renault megane broke the record for FWD and have only 230 ps.

What is this for a car can i buy it in germany....nice performance...only megane r26r is faster but it has semislick tyres.

The Max speed in this page is a bit off. According to GM's own data, with the factory low spoiler, the max speed is drag limited to 160mph. The factory option high spoiler, which was used to clock the time at Nordschleife, is drag limited to 155mph.

Unonamis 15/09/08, 03:10:25
@RocketPunch cool picture! Actually it's 146 mph. http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/high_performance/s port_compacts/2008_chevrolet_cobalt_ss_short_take_road_test+t-specs+page-2.html< /a> Or at least it might be...

Anonymous 15/09/08, 04:14:12
