well driving down the interstate and ran across a cobalt ss. had run into one yet so i drove by him slowly and as im passing him he drops it down, and when i hear him doing that i hammered it. we started with his front bumper at my front fender and at about 55 and let out about 105 and only pulled about a car legnth between us. it had some kind exhaust and i could hear the blower. but i thought i would do better than that. has anyone raced these also???? oh and they are peices of ****!

Anything from 30 to 50 really, your dead in the water in an A4 without a stall. Car will not downshift back to 1st gear at 35 or 40, which keeps you low in 2nd gear.

Nice kill but am I the only one ROFL-ing that a guy with 10 year old Pontiac is calling a new Chevy a POS? And for what it's worth, the turbocharged and supercharged Cobalts are completely different animals. FWD isn't for everybody but the new Cobalt is clearly the best of the usual suspects...Neon sartee4, Caliber sartee4, Madzaspeed 3, etc. I know Car & Driver liked it and I've seen one in the mags ripping around road courses with GM aftermarket parts. Sure it's a Cobalt but it's helluva lotta car for $20K.

um that makes it faster than his seeing as how i put that car length there. thank you. and they still suck. if i could have dragged it out to about 130ish i think i would have got him by a 1 1/2 lengths more. but traffic tends to put a stop to those things. but i was suprised to see how well he hung. better than the average 20 lengths on a honda.
I actually used to have one, they are quite nice.

And I'm pretty sure it goes Ecotec=Not a piece of ****.
A 4 cyl. kept within 2 cars of you in your LS1. And honestly, it probably wouldn't have lost much ground up to 130. I can't say for certain since the only good video I've seen is of niterider racing a turbo model. Hopefully that stall will get you going if you find the guy, otherwise you may be in for a huge letdown.
BTW...are those 17" rims?
