I'll put money on a RSXS and COBOLT SS beating the crap out of a Tib SE in every catagory besides price on any day of the week.

And GM does offer the 10 year 100k plan.

I've seen a Tiburon with nothing but a AEM intake run side by side with a RSX type S. Shane's (Revs_2_9k) old Tiburon ran a 15.1 @ 93.

Now a Cobalt SS v. a Tiburon is a completely different story.

I saw one run 14.3 @ 99 at VMP about 1-2 years ago. It sure surprised the hell out of me. But I would definitely rather get a RSX or a Cobalt SS.

SRT-4? I hear as many good things as not-so-good things though. Aren't they ~20k? The only car you'd have to watch out for is a Honda w/ H22 swap...

i was going to suggest this, if they were looking for something in the 4 door department.

If you are considering the RSX-type S, you can get a WRX TR(tuner ready) for 2 or 3 hundred more MSRP.
