Default ls1 vs. cobalt ss

So im going down the road and notice a cobalt ss on my right so i throw a little rev as we slow down to the stop light. He says, "you want to?" and I say, "yeah sure"

We go from a dig and I start pullin on him from the get go and by 85 i have about a bus length on him. He says, "Wanna go from a roll?" "Yeah sure why not" He stays with me for a while but i start pullin on him and put a half car on him. The roll was from 40 to 90 so my A4 didnt down shift.

We slow down and he asks my mods so I tell him (check sig) and that I didn't down shift because I'm an auto. He said "Yeah you would have beaten me even worse, nice car." I gave him a thumbs up and go on my way.

Cool guy, but i never got a chance to ask him his mods

Was it a turbo cobalt? I am assuming it was since he kind of put up a fight. Nice kill, at least the guy was cool about it.

honestly i have no idea. it must have been but i didnt really hear any whining or a turbo. i couldnt hear much because my passenger side window motor broke last week and i havent fixed it yet, and the only way i could talk to him was because the t tops were down.

mainly because there not that quick in stock form lol. but watch out... there BEASTs with a tune. they run 8.7 seconds with just the GM tune.......in the 1/8 that is

good kill. i always hated when my TA wouldnt downshift. always did my best never to roll race from 38-50ish range seemed to be the range where i would be stuck in low rpms in 2nd.

They aren't so tough.
