1st race w/stage 1....Cobalt SS/Tc vs. 2008'ish Mustang GT Finally!!!
Not only was this my 1st decent race (longer then one gear) with the stage 1 tune but I finally got a fair measure of what this lill fugger can do
I am excited because we know what late gen GT's can run!
I was feelin froggy since it is my day off. I slept about 5 hours last night, woke up, had too much coffee, cleaned the whole house, washed the car, etc. I technically should have been cruising in the hugger since its finally nice out but I figured I need not neglect the newly washed lil Cobalt.
Driving down my main strip I see a bright red GT in my review. He was 3 cars back but looked eager to catch the other shiny red car ahead of him (me, duh!) so I do my best gray haired granny drivin to let him get near me. We had a few cars around so it started out as just admiration for the freshly washed rides.
Long story short, he gets an open spot and I am behind him. He NAILS while we are at about a 20 roll just as its about to open up into 3 lanes and a 1/2 mile of straight, open land.
Surprisingly as I nail it, I am on his *** big time before I have the room to get into my now open lane, so I play a blow-off valve melody, drop out of boost, get back on it and now I can jump over. So now with him a car ahead and me building boost again I start to pull....HARD.
I NLS 3rd at 65mph and I am close to his door, as I wind out 3rd, I am now pulling past. BAM.....NLS into 4th and I pull a complete car and then a lil more before we shut down.
We both throw a thump-up out the window and he stays behind me for a few miles before I throw on the left signal to turn around and head home. As i grab the left lane he yells "bad *** lil car" out the window
He had a passenger (his woman) and appeared stock with what looked like him banging gears. I had an empty car seat.
That is all.
It is going to be an interesting summer!
I cant wait to get to the track
Cliffs:
Cobalt SS/TC stage 1 > Stock late gen Mustang GT
-------------------------------------------------------
I almost forgot the best part!
At one point I was sitting in front of him as we patiently waited for the right amount of room. I caught him pointing and grinning at the name of the vehicle that will soon be freight training him:

Good kill man. You seem very excited and I understand why. Its amazing that he was a good sport about losing too! Sounds like a picture perfect first run against a 3V stang.

Just a bit excited, it just happened about 30 minutes ago
Well he looked a bit perturbed as we gave a few lil short bursts before it opened up but he seemed to come around after I came around him
I have been waiting for a lineup with a newer GT for a long time. I molested a stock 2002'ish stang before the tune so i knew it was time to stop it up to the new age body style!

i have to admit, its as fun a DD as my hugger was back in the day. everyone expected the z to be fast in 99' but not a lil "slobalt."
ouch!
only 250hp on them?
i thought they can do mid 13's or so.
i would venture to say he didnt expect the outcome

Great kill! I really can't wait to see what your car traps next time you run it at the track.
That SLOBALT badge is great!
Also, I think the 2005-2009 GT's make around 270 rwhp through a standard trans.

I doubt anyone attempts to race him in his Z28 with those meats on them.

Those are fast little sleepers. Especially the 4 door version.
I bet the GT owner **** his pants.
And I love the slowbalt.

I could very well be wrong. The 05+ have more HP, but they are also heavier than the 99-04s I believe. Again, I could be wrong.

at yu guys teasin me i used HARD cause he was on it and its funny to see a lil 4door pull around a mustang who stayed in out while i had to let off and get back on yet i still went around him.
if we went on 3, it would no doubt have been ugly for him.

I think you're correct on this. I pulled a little on a bolt-on 2003 GT with my G8 from a roll. I had 4 people in mine and he was by himself. I also raced a stock turbo Cobalt several times from a roll and it was a similar outcome, but we both had one passenger in those races.
