Thread: so who here has beaten cobalts?

hey silver. sorry i sounded like an ass. lol.
for the record, id take a slower mustang over a super fast cobalt ANYDAY.

$1000 goes a lot further on a lot of different vehicles. I don't consider a 13 second car fast. (Thats if spending $1000 on a GP can get it in the 13's.)

spend a thousand dollars on a gtp and youve still got a mid to high 13 second family car. a world of difference yes, still slow, yes.

I spent $2000 and bought an entire car that ran low to mid 12's. If I put another $500 into it it would have been in the 11's.

13's isn't fast.

Been done. I say add a $300 Nitrous kit to the $500 car and go 11's in style.

Id have to ask our parts guy. He did the work for him. Custom exhaust but it sounds unnaturally deep for a 4 cylinder.

Cobalt 2008-2010 HP & Torque ratings:
280HP @ 4,700 RPM

320 lb,-ft of torque @ 4,300 RPM

Kit disables "learn down feature"

This performance upgrade maintains no-lift shift feature on Cobalts and HHR's and adds it for the Solstice/Sky.

that is the stage 1 upgrade (pcm retune)

what kind of intake and exhaust wizz is this kid to get 50 hp?

turbo cobalts are fast but they are mustang (hype) type of a car. do i wish i had one? yes.

You can quote internet findings all day. Im telling you from dyno and personal experience chevy lists them at 280hp. Its ACTUALLY 260hp.

And yes i did say tune and yes there is a learn down feature that cripples the capabilities.

What about the SRT4 wouldn't that be a comparable car to the SS/TC?

Not really, when most stock SRT4's run with SS/SC's.

Maybe an SRT4 ACR would be a better match-up...but still.

Buddy cracked out a 13.89 in his...with the ACR package...and it had some sticky BFG's on it.

I agree. They both have 2 power windows, after all. *snicker*

this thread's got stamina and endurance. for what it's worth, a new civic si tried to pull a fly-by on the highway yesterday.

tried to.
