Mustang vs Cobalt SS

If you have raced one, say what model year your car is, and what mods you had at the time.

I raced a SCed one...

My car: '01 GT
Mods: predator, 4.10, mid-pipe, catback.

They really shine on the launch... I barely pulled 2 carlenghts on him from 0 to 50 mph. I kept spinning (thanks to the 4.10 gear).

Above 50 mph, NO MATCH. I could let him go & reel him easssily. I pulled at least 6 carlenghts on him from 50 to 100 mph.

There was a Stage II SS at the track last year. It ran 13.8 @ 100 mph which is about as fast as a well driven stock GT. Forget about a stock SS, any decently driven '99+ GT should have no problem.

Those kids are SRT-4 guys all over again. But not all of the SS's are supercharged...the ones that are can be made decently fast from what I've read. Still fwd with a power adder car seems kinda counter productive to me.

You took the words out of my mouth, Very true

every time they boost a 4cyl in an economy car all the 17-19 year olds (my age group) get a major hard on. I'm 1 of like 15 people in my town that doesn't drive an import and the import kids hate on me because my cars a "POS"..then we line up and i shut their mouths with my basically stock, poorly driven GT

LOL. They must be racing 94-98 GT's or 99-04 autos, I've seen stock SS/SC's do 14.5 so I'm sure with some small changes 14.2-3 is in reach, but the only manual 99-04 GT's they are beating either didn't race, or had piss poor drivers.

i smoked one yesterday on the freeway and yes it was SCed all i have for power mods is a AEM Brute force and magnaflow catback

I like them, I perfer the Saturn Ion Redline more though.


You guys really aren't giving them their credit. With a few 1000 bucks these things will be low 13's no sweat. They have potential.

As far as stock vs stock, the 99+ should be able to handle them without much of a problem.

Plus the sales on these things are way up. Putting a power adder on a front wheel drive car, from the factory, is a marketable endeavour. These things really loosen up with an aggressive dyno tune.. even on a stock one.

They never gave me a problem at all.

Actually, if anyone were at HRP 2 weeks ago, they got to witness what a near stock NPI auto does against a supercharged cobalt SS with an annoying exhaust.

I ran my lovely 14.74 @ 93.2 against his 14.83 @ --.-- (the people I had with me didn't recall his MPH). If the driver would have cut a good light, the race would have been super close between the two of us, however I cut a decent light (.07) against his .34.

It was still a good race It would have likely walked me from a roll since it seems he was making up some ground towards the end.

I liked the video

"Looks like he's just stock" "So it seems" "Indeed, so it seems"

Lol

At least he said "That GT is sickkkkkkk!"

Yes ******es BOW DOWN to true power...
