Raced a duramax
Went to the dealer today to test drive a Cobalt Supercharged SS since I want a new drive to work car. Anyway I wound up BS'ing with the salesman for a long time, he was really cool. He told me he has a fast Duramax lifted and on 35 inch wheels. Says it dynoed almost 500Hp and like almost 1000 lbs-ft torque and re ran a 9.0 1/8th before he did more mods. He then tells me he thinks he can beat my car. I tell him im at almost 500Hp on spray and he takes back the comment. So after he was done we got a really short run on the street from like a 35-40 roll no spray for me. He stayed at my door up till like 60 when I let off cause of traffic and my son was with me, although I was starting to pull harder. Short run, I just thought it was cool that that lifted diesel can keep up, and I loved the black smoke, lol. he says he beats up on ricers all the time and they look amazed, lol. Were gonna set up a real race one day when I get some time. His truck is really badass.

I want the supercharged SS, although I drove a regular auto SS and it was pretty nice, not too slow for a NA 4 banger. It had a nice pioneer system in it with a sub, sounded nice.
