R3 or R5 ?

[NautiGirl]

Thanks everyone. I think the R5 may be the way to go based on what I’ve been reading and I was leaning that way anyway. My dealer here in Grand Rapids Michigan has the choice of a 300 or 380 hp. A little bit of a price difference but anyone know the difference in top end speed of the two engines?

I would go with the smaller 300. The saying goes I rather a smaller engine!

There within a mile or two speed isn't why you buy a Cobalt.

Pay no attention to BB!

You Shouldn't ask this group... We want all the horsepower and captains call.

if I was building one it would for sure have the 380.

For the love of all that is holy man DO NOT get the smaller 300. So I just jumped from a 2003 240 with 320HP to a R7 with 430 HP. The R7 is maybe LOA 2.5' longer than that 240 and this R7 roars out of the gate. Once you get a taste you'll be like...well shit thats what they're all talking about..

Haha, don't let these guys suggest a 300. They are tongue in cheek, but you may not know us well enough yet..
There may be a mile or two difference with a hurricane tail wind. Load her up, and in chop, you are looking at aweful..

Our CC. discussion goes deep. If it brings joy, definitely order it. Joy is what a this is all about.
For other snobby old school motorheads like me, unless you have a "2" big horse twins making that perfect chorus sound together, and the bite to back the bark, it's a little..well.... .. .

My daily emails to cobalt asking for hot pink to be added as an option should be addressed any day now!
