RE: Found first Cobalt SS
Come on now, don't be dissing so hard on the little supercharged 4 banger.
It IS FWD, when up in the revs, they are hard to launch (easy to spin).
But they are about mid-low 14's I believe stock, with a good driver.
Just too many cocky people with their new cars, I've seen it happen to, mind you I didn't put that great of a distance on them, but I sure put them in their place. Supposedly Chevy put an extremely good suspension setup in those cars, because on TV lately all they talk about is how good the Cobalt is as a platform, and that when modified, it's crazy for a FWD vehicle.
I dunno, I wouldn't mind if it I didn't know it was just the next generation Cavilier... Other than that, seems pretty decent (better than the Redline IMO).

what a chump.. his girlfriends talks crap, then you toast him....
you should have found a way to get next to him and asked her why her man drives a chicks car, then said she was too dumb to have a bf with a car the represents its heritage better than a s/c econo car with an SS badge

I was on my way out to my buddies house to help him install his new exhaust and i was stoped at a red light. This silver SS cobalt pulled up next to me and its this kid about my age with his girlfriend. His girlfriend motions for me to put down the window and she says "my boyfriend is gonna smoke ya", i just looked at her and smiled and blew her a kiss. When the light was turning yellow in the other lane he got his revs up to launch and the light turned green and he went. I didnt launch i just punched it when it turned green, he got about a fender on me and then i was by him and put about 4-5 cars on him by the time i hit about 75. When i punched it i spun like mad and when i caught traction the car went pretty much sideways!
so I think if i would have gotten a better launch i could have put some more space on him. He must have been a crappy driver, I expected more out of the Cobalt than that after hearing all this hype about them. Ne ways at the next light i stoped and he wouldnt get next to me , when the light turned green i put my arm out the window to give a thumbs up ( i consider my self a good sport) he must have took this the wrong way , because i had to enforce the no fly by zone
, after that he gave up and held back.....whew! that was a long one

That guy's girl is a 'tard. Good kill.
Denying the fly-by is pretty much my favorite thing to do with my car. It makes me giggle.[sm=smiley36.gif]
