so I was out and about today before I went to work...

a yellow Cobalt SS pulls up next to me at a stoplight... he revs a few times I guess to let me know it was supercharged... he then yells to me "whatcha running?" I just answered with "bolt ons..." he then replied "I'll own you"...

now usually I just ignore the knuckle heads, but I was in a good mood so I decided I'd play along... "we'll see, go on green" I replied...

I launched her at 1500, I know low, but I never really launched my car before and I have crappy kuhmos that break loose all the time... I shifted at 4500 each time, my car falls on its face shortly there after... got her up to 75 before I shut down and I had him by prolly 2 cars...

I normally never ever run my car that way on the street, but I dunno, I just went for it... I know what I did was dumb, but it was a one of those 2 lane per side divided highway sorta deals... kinda more like the industrial side of town, no sidewalks or pedestrian traffic...

now are those tin cans just slow or did I get lucky? Ive got pretty much nothing when it comes to serious horsepower increasing mods.... and I have stock gears, suspension and a full weight convertible...

nice kill... they arent overly fast, but can be made pretty quick with minimal work

I raced a stock one when I was stock he had me by 1 car. then I did all this work to mine and he upgraded his blower and got every bolt on plus a tune and i beat him by a few cars, I wasn't impressed. the guy also thought he'd own me. after we raced he accused me of spraying, shoulda saw the look on his face when I popped the hood and no nitrous,
nice kill.

good kill, stock supercharged ones run in the neighborhood of mid 14s.

The newer ones with turbos are pretty quick.

The supercharged Cobalts really aren't that fast. There's a red one around here that thinks he has a fast car. He has a decent mod list(says his plaque at the car shows), but he only runs 9.4's@76 in the eighth. He says it has the potential to run high 13's. Whatever! His liscence plate evens says "PASTU" Good kill BTW!

Shelty

thanks guys. I was a lil suprised to see him behind me haha I heard the new turbo versions have a lil oomph with them...

good kill.

stock head's can be worked with, my car pulls pretty damn hard for full exhaust, and bolt on's, and intake.

even with the car being 3500lb with me in it


so when college is over you gonna mod it some more or whats the plans?

my friend had a '06 Cobalt SC with the GMPP Stage 2, stage 3 pulley, full exhaust and a AEM cai and he ran 13.6 @ 103. compare that to that red one's list and it should give you an idea of the car's potential.

thats what the one i raced had only he had a ported head/blower and cams. but like i said i was not impressed. the new turbo ones run around a high 13 stock.
