3. Chevrolet Cobalt SS Turbo

The Chevrolet Cobalt came in a few varieties, but the most powerful one was the turbocharged SS. With the stage 1 kit installed the Cobalt SS turbo had a whopping 290 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque. The vehicle was so powerful it came from the factory with high end tires to ensure better traction as well as upgraded electronic traction control. The SS turbo featured “no-lift” shifting, which allowed the driver to maintain boost during an upshift. When engaged the vehicle kept the throttle wide open when the clutch was depressed. Launch control was also added to the SS turbo model. All in all the Cobalt SS Turbo was pretty much a street legal race car.
