Three supercharged Chevrolet Cobalt SS cars are among those being tested at Daytona this week, in preparation for competition in this year's Grand-Am Cup Series, Sport Touring (ST) class. The series will likely set the performance cred of GM's newest compact, as it takes on established competitors such as the BMW 328, Lexus IS300, Acura RSX, Mazda RX-8, Mini Cooper and Porsche Boxster. Chevy's hoping "takes on" will mean more than "wave hello" on the way to last place for the relatively untested Cobalt. We can't wait to see how this turns out.
