Trust me I know those little 'balts can move out well with just a few little nick nacks.

 

Hugger... dude cmon man I know you like your Cobalt but let's check back into reality here. You're not beating any well driven 6spd LS1's. The GMS1 tune is good for mid 13's @ 104-106 at best. And if you think your car is going to hang with one from a roll, you best take a good jump and then cut it off at ~100mph.

 

i tore up an ls1 goat........bad

an auto f-body is gona be in trouble.
a 6-speed one....u got me, its gona be tough. in good hands i accept a loss but it wont be that ugly.

but not everyone drives like us

 

From my experience with my bimmer we were neck and neck from a roll. i ran a catback 6speed camaro ss from a roll a few months back and was able to pull 2 cars on him. It all comes down to the driver and I could see where hugger can beat a faster 6 speed car operated by a lack luster driver. I ran into another member on this board that has a lid, LTH, 6speed and tune on I55. I'm not going to list his name but if he sees this he can chime in. Every time we got on it I was able to catch up with him in the bimmer pretty easily(we ran in the same lane). Now when I ran the slobalt it wasn't as easy as my other races. If I were to use my car with an automatic as a standard of measure I would say that the slobalt was definitely quicker than a couple other 6speed light bolt on LS1's I had ran previously.

Here is the slobalt vs my bimmer. I'm automatic and at no point in his shifts is he even starting to fade. NLS is nasty and can make for very constant driving.

Dig runs are a total different story, but you can't right off that those little balts can move out and for a car that has 4 doors and is a DD that is still pretty damn impressive.

 

Thats exactly it, just because a car can be driven fast doesn't mean the driver is capable of doing it.

 

Maybe it's just me... but when I beat a bad driver I usually won't even mention the race to anyone. Unless the guy was a ***** beforehand. It's just a waste... so you beat a car with a guy who couldn't drive... sweeeeeeet.

 

You just beat a shitty driver, not the car that's all. Happens all the time, nothing special really.

 

Wait, didn't you post up a kill story, where you raced a poor driver, that didn't even own said car, and it was a girl?

Exactly the point I was trying to make above.

 

Good kill as expected

I wouldn't call the guy in the second run on I55 a shitty driver. Much better than the first guy. Just putting a point out there that I've ran a bolt on ls1 6mt and a tuned cobalt ss. The cobalt gave me a better run for the money honestly. Now from a dig I wouldn't doubt the cobalt would come up short

 

i will say it again.
im ready for a friendly race anytime this spring with a stockish f-body.

for f sake, i own one and accept the fact that its more capable then mine was stock.

why cant some of you people?

do G8's run wth ls1's?
yes?
did u see my vid?

do i/t turbo bimmers run hi-12's?
yes
did u see the vid?


wtf, some of u guys kill me........

 

Dude, your car even says SLObalt on it. It's not fast.

 

You yourself admitted a well-driven 6-speed LS1 F-body would pull you 9x out of 10. Sounds realistic to me.

 

Talks cheap. Pm me when someone has the ***** to run a stockish 6speed against huggers slobalt and I'll record it.

 

mm I think you could take an LS2 goat to. I've run neck and neck with one with less power/weight.

 

Not a well driven 6-speed. I haven't raced enough A4 LS1's to make a good judgement on that race though.

 

im tired of argueing with closed minded people since u felt the need to vaguely quote me.

 

What? I'm just repeating what you said.

No offense. They are cute little cars indeed.

 

Details on your Cobalt?
