You are very unaware my friend. Although this article doesn't give the details, I guarantee you this was a Cobalt SS 2009 or newer, it is probably the best sleeper car under 30k you could buy (discontinued, replaced by the Chev. Cruze) Go do a google search on the powertrain of the 2010 cobalt ss turbo, and the lap times recorded on the N¼rburgring in Germany, the cobalt ss was smoking cars from audi, mitsibushi, porshe, mercedes; MSRP of 10-20k more than the stock cobalt. 260 "base/stock" horsepower which is easily increased with the GM approved stage kits. 270 pounds of tq This car was no joke... Best of all the majority of people have no idea GM ever upgraded this car in 2009, so when people here chev cobalt they think of the shitbox cavalier redesigned. This car is capable of reaching speeds 260km/hr + Now you know why someone was caught doing this; The problem with this situation and car is you get kids who CAN afford the financing of the car, because its only 22k brand new, but then have no self-control to take it to the track rather than an open highway.

AND THAT explains the insurance quote I just got for such a car, which was more than even an Infiniti, convertible Eclipse, etc etc. Even the older Supercharged ones were nothing to spit at, no 260 but still decent. Apparently your theory is correct, and Insurance companies have acted on it.

Exactly, no one knows about this cobalt ss 2009+. Someone in a BMW, G35 or AUDI rolls up on this cobalt and laughs when they rev the engine but then gets spanked and assumes the car has 20k+ of mods when it is actually bone stock and just simply out performs a lot of very expensive cars mid-range sports cars. You have to look at the overall cost though, is the increased purchase and maintenance price of a BMW/infinity worth the savings on insurance?

pulled over leaving a survey in guelph. After arguing with the officer for about 10 minutes, he mentioned something being wrong with my truck. Told me to put on my emergency brake, and i did. Told me to put it in gear, and i did, truck did not move. Told me to hit the gas, and i did and the truck…
Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device. Was running late in a morning rush traffic in Toronto and apparently passed a school bus on the opposite side w/o noticing its signal. A few meters after that I stopped behind the other cars waiting…
I recently received a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at an intersection. While there are other issues with the offence (sign is not visible until 10ft from intersection, officer wrote wrong license plate number on ticket) my biggest question is about the sign itself.
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
What is the requirement for stopping when a school bus is traveling down the roadway, initiates the flashing red lights while still moving but has not yet stopped? If a motorist is traveling through an intersection (through the free-flow approach, minor-street stop controlled) and an oncoming…
In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…
I was on my way to work on a divided four lane highway. I was in the right hand lane following the flow of traffic. There was a slower car ahead of me and I wanted to change lanes and maintain my speed. When I looked in my left side mirror, I notice a red car going pretty fast in the passing…
So i got charged with Hand Held Device, just want to ask everyone if i could use this as my defence
It was midnight, I was dropping my fiance to pick up something on north bound Yonge st (near church) with my emergency lights on, Officer came and asked me to move along so i went up a few streets and…
