I've read in more than one thread that the Camaro 8:20 run was made in wet conditions with a car still being dialed in. It may just be hearsay or rumor but I expect the final product to be more than a couple ticks ahead of the Cobalt, even though the little thing is quite an overachiever.

All that being said, if the new SS offers steering & handling comparable to a 350, much less a 370, then I will be quite happy. I had a great time driving an '04 350Z but the interior is far too cramped for me to ever purchase one.
