It's not so much the mid 13 that is frightening, but the super high trap speed that would have made things interesting.

I highly doubt I could even take the Supercharged mid 14 second Cobalts from a roll.

I feel ya man, yeah same one with black rims I believe and a black stripe ran me out on I-44, I had about 4 car lengths up to 130.... He tried me one day when I was stuck at a light and rev'd his engine at me while I was stuck behind about 3 cars and gave me this look like I was a punk... but I got the last laugh

I think you would have got him, especially if it was supercharged.

I think it would've been a close race. I'd give you the edge, but if he got the jump, I think he could've stolen it.

I don't think so, because I would have made sure he didn't get the jump, lol! But... if he did, I think I could have reeled him in.

I raced the S/C one with a cold air intake and fart can with a tune, it was kinda a roll off from the light he was next to my door all the way to 110 when i hit 3rd gear he jumped up even with me. My friend was in the car with me and was like whats that screaming sound LOL. OH and that was with my 2,73. You will run in to one some other day just do it down low or you will get walked.

With your mods you probably trap around the 108-110mph range so you should take him from a dig or a roll.

I raced a guy the other day from a roll with about the same mods you have and we where neck and neck. Do not under estimate the SRT-4s & cobalts LOL

Dude, I seriously thought you were joking when I read your first post. I think you would have taken him pretty easily unless he was decently modded.
