Cobalt...
Okay...it was like 10pm-ish and i was going down I-81 and this guy in a Cobalt is in the right lane and i pass him in the left lane. I am on my way home b/c there is nothing to do b/c all my friends are working ans it is hot and humid...uugghh...so i pass him and think nohting of it...but i did check it out the best i could in the dark...i saw that it had 30-day tags...
Well we go to the I-81 I-581/220 exit/interchange and i am going around the big turn that takes you to 581 and i see his lights in my rear view...so i bump it from 60 to 70...he stays on my bumber so i bump it up to 80 then 90 and he is still there so i drop to 3rd and punch it...i let off when i started closing in on the top of 4th and when i looked up i could barly see his lights....so i slowe down and got in the right lane and he came up on me in the middle lane. He looked over at me...then punched it and started to accelerate away...i didnt respond...
So we get about 2 miles down the road and he does it again...only this time i change lanes...drop to 3rd again and get in his rear view (oh yea...i was on the way home form getting my car Dynoed...go to the General TEch section to see the chart and figures). I cut into the other lane and accelerate aruond him.
It was fun...i have wanted to see one of them run before...but it thought it would give me a better run than it did...

RE: Cobalt...
ALL 2 door Cobalts, not just the SS have the 2 tail lights. The LS sport package adds a rear spoiler. I'm no expert on cobalts, but I did go with my sister in law to the carlot to help her buy one. When I was at the dealership in April, they said the SS hadn't been released yet. I still haven't seen one yet, but I'm sure they are around. Even if it was supercharged, why bother? Motor Trend has them running mid 14's.

RE: Cobalt...
Just let it go? Your the one on here bragging about beating a Cobalt. I state some simple facts about them and you get pissed. Your not even positive it was an SS. The base model only has 145 hp versus 205 for the SS. I would hope that wouldn't even be a challenge for you.
