The track - Buttonwillow Raceway #13CCW (sorta...). The driver - John Heinricy, GM Performance Division and multiple SCCA national champion. The car - the 2008 turbocharged Chevy Cobalt SS.


This is an in-car lap of Heinricy driving the new Chevy Cobalt SS (w/factory optional LSD) around BW during the press intro event. This is a closed off, private event at a sanctioned racetrack, don't try this at home!

To all SoCal natives, you will notice that there is a chicane right before Lost Hill and many other cones sitting on the course in places they would not normally be placed.  This was purposely setup to keep the speeds lower on course and keep the day safer for all the journalists driving on that day. Although Heinricy is cleared to drive through the full course and take the front straight, journalists were required to enter the hot pits (where a speed limit was enforced), instead of taking the front straight for another lap. Keep an eye out here at sportcompactcarweb.com for our own video review of the 2008 Cobalt SS.
