it didnt have ALOT of power, but that instant power sure was nice. We also cant forget I didnt drive a stock one, it had the gm stage 2 on it which ups the boost like 3lbs, raises the rev limiter to 7k, retunes the comp and has bigger injectors and it also had a CAI and catback exaust.

I agree that it would be cool if the imports would come out with a real competitor in the class, the civic si is right there in reality with the stock cobalt and stuff but they dont offer any performance upgrades that retain warrenty
