RE: SS Cobalt
ORIGINAL: jdback19
Well lets just say my first encounter with an SS cobalt was filled with massive stupidity. Well i am headed out to my girlfriends house at about 8:00 last night when i see some wierd lookin headlights comin up behind me. What ever is was just starts ridin my *** like it wants me to move cause their vehicle is far superior to mine. It finally whips out around me making me realize it is the imfamous SS Cobalt. This goofy as lookin white kid that looks like the kid on the cover of mad magazine looks over at me and starts revving the SH$% out of his little engine. I can hear that little super charger just sqealin as its bouncin off the redline. I look ahead to see the light infront of us turning red(MUHAAHAA). So the kid pulls up beside me and is just smilin at me like a kid thats had way to much coke to drink so he can stay up all night to see santa claus. Just by looking at this kid and his car i some how got the feeling this kid was fairly new at the whole driving thing. I saw his boost gauge and asked him "Hey bro did you do a pulley swap or some kind of mods." He comes back with this "Yeah man i have done that" then i ask "How many PSI are you running through that super charger?" He says "Yeah I am running 25 psi."
I look at him real puzzled and say "Really! Did you do any internal engine work to handle all that PSI?" he says "No man thats what a blow off valve is for dude." So the light turns green and i am just cruisin along cause he hasnt made anymore racing gestures thats when he comes back up beside me at like 50 and he drops it into first, his front tires lock up and start sqealin trying to compensate for the stupid gear change at that speed. And i can hear him just grinding gears trying to get it to start going again. We get up to the next stoplight and he says "Did you hear that blow off valve?" I said "Man you need to be careful downshifting like that you can rip the tranny right off your car doing stuff like that." He says "No it wont i got urethane transmission mounts." He then goes on to say "Dude do you wanna race me, and try to keep up." I ask him "How many horse power are you putting down." He says "Dude man i am putting down 400 HP to the wheels." I ask him "Did you get it dyno'd?" He says "No whats that?" So me being rather skeptical accept his challenge. So the light turns green and i floor it, i pull a car off the line and just keep pullin as i am slamming the gears. By the time i let off he is about 7 cars behind me. He comes up beside me and says "Hey man i couldnt get any traction can we race from a roll?" I say "Sure why not." So we start going, we get up to fourty and he does his three honks and we gun it. This is when i discover that all this SS Cobalt has is an aftermarket boost gauge. I start to pull so hard on this kid i almost felt sorry for him.
By the time I let off he was again more than 5 cars behind me. He gets up beside me again at a stop sign and says " Damn dude that mustang is fast." And i say "Thanks man, learn how to drive that thing and do some more work on it and you can be fast too." He just keeps starin at my car as we leave the stop sign, and he turns off at a gas station.

I try not to waste my gas , put engine stress , wasting tire tread , or getting a ticket to race an inferior car.................There's no point. Unless there's girls in the car with him then it feels good to smoke 'em to put an embarrassed look on some dude's face in front of his girlfriends..lol

those colbolt ss are useless

Too bad some of their owners think that they can outrun cars with 100hp or more advantage on them,RETARDS!!!!!!!!!! Really they are pretty quick for a 4 banger,and 4 and 6 bangers are what these idiots need to stick to racing[except SRT4,Sti and EVOs].They will outrun stock NPIs and some 5.0s,but not with a retard behind the wheel!!!!!!!!!!BTW the boost gauge is factory.

Everytime i am out in my car somebody wants to race me. I dont mind, but its stupid kids like this that make me worry. Its also stupid kids like this that die in a street race.
