    I can beat him in a stock Grand Prix.

    If you can drive you will beat him in the stock Grand Prix.


    I've raced one at a track once with my car becuase him, and his cocky friends wanted to 'See which supercharger car was faster'. I, literally crossed the line, turned off, headed back, and then stopped at the shack to get my time slip and it was just now printing becuase he had only just then crossed the finish line.

    i think people get the impression that the supercharged Cobalts are suppose it be so much faster, with there nice factory tunes, and all the other restrictions that they have not so quick

    Tips on racing:

    -Don't F up your launches.
    -Practice launching.
    -Go on the third honk, not after it
    -P-shift stays on when you're out so you don't eff up in a surprise race.
    -Tune your car!!!
    -Always start at slow speeds, as our cars don't have the greatest top-end.
    -Practice launching some more.

    A great launch is getting off of the line as fast as possible without spinning the tires. Start with half throttle and ease into it, then go back and do it again, but increase your initial throttle position just a little bit. Continue doing so until you start to get a chirp out of the tires. Keep practicing at that point. A small chirp is okay, but you want to stay below the friction threshold of your tires. Only go up to about 30MPH. By that speed, you've already determined how well you'll do in a full race. And, whatever you do, make sure the road/parking lot you are practicing/racing on is clear of other people.

    I am dissapointed to say that my only real losses were both against cobalts.
    One was a supercharged one, with a smaller pulley and supporting mods, and the other was a turbocharged one that sounded considerably louder than stock
