I was at the dragstrip with my friend and my rattle can painted stang. This kid and his hot as hell girlfriend pull up behind me so we can race. Obviously he can read cuz he was boasting about having 426 hp(he drove an SRT8 Charger) and that he would smoke me. I told him that I am stock minus the K&N and bbk shorties. Well I overheard him telling his ricer friends that his car would rip me a new one and blah blah blah. Well we pulled up to the burnout box. I light up my BFG drag radials. He spins his 22's for like 15 seconds. We stage. I took him off the line and left him there. He ran a 10.60 while I ran a 9.32@74.96. We get back to the lanes where I get a wink from his girl. I asked him what happened cuz his $30000 car just got smoked by a $340, 22 year old car. He made up typical ricer excuses that I sprayed, and my tires made me faster, and blah blah blah. Popped my hood no NOS. All night long we were beating up on his car.

2 of my buddies have cobalt SS'

one has an 06 that used to be supercharged he did stage 2 and all that bs then he swapped to a custom turbo kit. im not sure what kinda power he has but he ran a 12.6 @ 112 at the track last week.

the other one has the newer TC one and he went to the dyno last week and bone stock put down 235whp and then he got it tuned and put down 290whp stock with just a tune. now only if he could drive lol.

too bad those Cobalts are such beauties to try to get off the line. Hopefully your friend's at least has the limited slip option.
