My brother just bought a '06 Cobalt SS.

I work for gm and yes you should be worried. Those cars are fast. Wait till he finds out about the 3 stage kits that gm offers. A little pricey but the lay down some big numbers. I agree with daggar time for a power adder

I dunno man....i always give credit where credit is due...i've fallen to a few Civic and i respect every one of them that i lose to....but that Cobalt was a slug. We ran to at least 80mph before we shut down and i only hit about 98-99mph in the quarter so unless you're talking 130+ i say he didn't stand a chance. Hell with 4.10 gears yeah i wouldn't stand a chance beyond about 115mph, but who gives a damn about roll racing anyways? Racing from a roll is retarded as hell. No sanctioned racing body has EVER ran a race from a roll, so even if he put 30 car lengths on me i wouldn't care since he couldn't hold a candle from a dig.

The last Civic i went down to was on the highway. I killed him up to about 100mph and then he just drove away. I caught up with him in town and asked if he wanted to hit it from a stop and he said flat not "no way man"

I wouldnt call the Cobalt a slug, thats hardly right. They dont post the best ET's from a dig becuase its FWD, thats why I said the 5.0 should hold it off from a dig race but from a roll I believe the SS will pull. This is based off of trap speeds I have saw at the track, my buddy has a SS balt and its hardly a slug.

Aren’t there two SS’s? I think one is a n/a 2.4.

 

[91ghp5.0]

I'm pretty sure there is only one (supercharged) version.

I just looked it up. There are two. There is a supercharged 2.0, and a 2.4 n/a.

 

[Strype]

Just buy a set of Nitto 555 or Mickey ET's. With your mods alone that should be enough to kill him from a dig. At least to 3rd gear.

If not...

Put on a MAF, Intake and electric fan.

Yep. The two door SS is the supercharged 2.0 version, and the four door SS is the 2.4 n/a.

 

[grey5.0beast]

whats faster?? the s/c'ed 2.0??

 

[_jb_]

Yes

 

[85ragtop]

Yep. The two door SS is the supercharged 2.0 version, and the four door SS is the 2.4 n/a.

They also have a 2.4 coupe. It looks nice (not that I would get one).

Damn, I was wrong. I've never seen a two door 2.4, or I wasn't paying attention lol.

I work next to a Chevy dealership. I see all the new crap they get in. They have a Z06 in the showroom now. They won’t let me drive it.

I keep trying to get my dad to testdrive one. I know for sure they won't let me take it for a run lol.

I get to test drive most of the cars that come in (the dude that owns the place is a client), but I was told no. Same thing with the two door Caddy.

The one my bro bought is a S/C 2.0. It's a pretty nice car and it's no slouch. I'd like to see how it does at the track though.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Yes you should be worried.


My friend has an '05. I ran him in my GT (14.1 at the track) and he was door to door with me to 110MPH.

 

[90]

then did you or he pull away ? or both start stoping?

 

[Mustang5L5]

Traffic ahead so we started slowing down.

He's done upgrades since like pulley, exhaust, and a tune. It's faster, but I haven't had a chance to line up again with him.

Don't feel bad. I couldn't even test drive an 05 Mustang GT. He said it was because I didn't have full coverage insurance, but it was mainly because I was 21.
