Last Friday i was supposed to race the Cobalt SS. Thursday when i was ****ing around with my car i spilt anti freeze all over the place and ****ed up my car. It bogs and wont go not even if you floor it. N e ways when we go to meet him i dont have my car and i am with my friend in his grand prix gtp. We get there and he asks for my car i told him what happens and he gets all mad and says i just got scared so i am like whatever why dont you race the gtp. And he was like i am gonna win i have gone 140 mph in this car you guys dont know what it has. So he finally says yes. We head over to the freeway little did he know the Grand Prix Gtp is modified with 3.25 Pulley Exhaust Intake dhp computer and some other little mods here and there. So we take off and at the start he hangs pretty good until he shifts into second we start pulling hard. Then by the time we were going 90 we were about 1 1/2 buses ahead of him and then by the time we were going 130 he still didn't wanna give up. But we let off and we start talking to him. I have never seen someone so sad in all my life about losing a race. I don't blame him he bought a fast car from the dealshiped and got owned with 300 miles on the car on his second race ever by a 4 door that he didnt know was fast. Seriously though a boosted 7thgen should be able to take the cobalt. Car and driver says 6.1 14.7 top speed drag limited 140 mph when i race him i will let you guys know who won.

SS... I still haven't seen one in person. Wait, were u in the car too?

Racing with 300 miles on the car... smart.... Chances of that car blowing up even faster have increased. Plus, with sooo few miles, the car not even broken in, its prob not even getting its full hp.

Colbalt SS actually has caught my attention. All I have been hearing is good ****..rumors are that chevy like the c6 vette underestimated the hp!

Ok i just got off the phone ok the guy with the red cobalts friend with a blue cobalt with computer upgrade according to them 280 hp is gonna race my friends grand prix probably next friday thats when i will try to race the red one and let you guys know how it ends.

cool let us know. Be safe though Hope I'll run into one soon.

S2000man01

iTrader: (1)

computer upgrade = 280hp? lmao. bullshit. not without running higher boost.

Michalo187

iTrader: (33)

Thats what i am saying but they claim it bumped it up. And with the pulley it will have 400 hp well we are gonna have to wait and see who wins the gtp or the cobalt by then my friend will have his random technologies downpipe so i think another cobalt is going down. As for me and the red one i hope he goes down again. both these cars have no more then 400 miles on them so these guys are idiots

****in chevy head. I pee on em

iTrader: (2)

what

there's no way that throwing in a chip and putting a pulley with it will give you like what, 3 times as much hp as stock? (arent they like 160hp or something?...dont bash, I dont fully know the specs)...there's absolutely no way, it doesnt work like that on any car

Those Cobalts and SRT run around the same times...So your messing with a pertty fast car stock.

Michalo187

iTrader: (33)

Dude Cobalts are way slower then srt 4s why do you guys think they are amazing???? Srt 4 runs 13.8 quarter mile while a dam cobalt runs 14.7 really close race huh? Look at Car and Driver the specs are right there.

God damn son..My friend told me that ..He has a SRT-4 and he told me this..Why would he make his car seem slower and make another seem faster?? I dunno. Im sorry for the times..But reading them from Car and Driver is b.s. You cant go on what a Magazine tellls you all the time.. Go to a track and get times yourself. You cant live of a Magazine.. I wasnt quoting anyone I just stated something my friend said.. Now like I said..Dont go from a Magazine...

Echelon04

It's still a chevy.... get real.

Michalo187

iTrader: (33)

Yeah but a magazine is two professional drivers, on the street with two equal drivers it is the same thing. Of course a shitty srt 4 driver against a great cobalt driver we got a different story of course you can't always count on magazines but it gives you a rough estimate of what they can do and .8 seconds in the quarter mile is a lot to me

nice kill

All else being equal, the stock srt-4 is faster than the stock cobalt ss.

WhiteCastle

iTrader: (1)

if you read motortrend they now state the srt-4 0-60 in 6.0 secounds
Also there qaurter mile times are the same.
Fast pocket rockets they are

mag times are NEVER the rule. mag times are a generalization at best. REAL WORLD DRIVERS will always get the best times.
the cobalt is a LOW 14/FLAT 14 second car. maybe better, who knows.

Michalo187

iTrader: (33)

well the grand prix stock runs around 15 flat and it killed the cobalt with those mods so i really think the cobalt is not a low 14 second car maybe mid at the best

WhiteCastle

iTrader: (1)

guys colbalt wasnt even broken in....

Pharoh

iTrader: (8)

I saw a red one yesterday...first time I seen the SS. I don't like it but then again, I hated the Saturn Redline and it's the same damn car....

Michalo187

iTrader: (33)

Thats very true i keep forgetting the guys are idiots and are running it like a champ with 300 miles but i still don't believe broken in or not it will run low 14s i think best is mid 14s
