It's his 98 firebird vs. my 06 cobalt ss/sc. He has won everytime. Digs and rolls. both cars are stock.

The GFs 96 A4 2.73 car lost to a Cobalt SS manual from a stoplight (close race) but murdered it from a roll a few seconds later. FWIW

Seems like Cobalt SS S/C's are pretty close matches for auto LT1's, especially ones with 2.73's. The SS S/C's are putting down around 210WHP, which is more than they are rated for at the flywheel.

maybe stock to stock but a modded balt is another story. you shouldn't be a dick its not like lt1's are the fastest thing ever.

No surprises there.
Im not going to spend the time and effort trying to explain that what I meant had nothing to do with if an LS1/LT1 should put up just as much as a fight in stock form to a SS Cobalt, thats simply not true.

Everytime, the LS1 will eat the SS Cobalt.
Most of the time the LT1 will club it, with crappier runs making for a good race.

There's no hostility here, its simple facts.

Just like stock for stock the LS platform out works the LT platform.

I think being the Underdog is fun.

both of my buddy's lt1's saw my tail lights, it's not that much money to make a quick balt.

Man I dont know but the race I seen was a saturn ion redline which I beleive is the same hp and motor as the cobalt ss raced a 175000 mile auto lt1 with a cut out and got drug bye about 5 cars from a 40 roll. I have witnesses to the race that post here maybe one will chime in. nothing againt the lil car but I dont thinkit will stand a chance against a lt1 i know the saturn didnt

Just for reference i have $700 in mods to my car and of the 2 lt1's i raced one was a 95 stock auto very well mainted, and the other was a m6 95 camaro with full exhaust and a cai. The auto was just plain bad the m6 put up a better fight but from 50 to 110 i had 2.5 to 3 cars.

Your an idiot.. lets compare a modded car to a stock car... that is ******* stupid and yoru ricer *** should be ******* beat.

Stock vs Stock the LT1 romps the lit balt.... when mods begin... well it all depends then..

stock for stock absoultly and modded as well you can make 4 bangers quick but if you wanna be fast go big or go home.

you call me a ricer ha you have no clue what you are talking about this thread got off topic really fast. im saying from my experience with my races and my friends they have been really surprised when they see my tailights and then they say oh you must have this and that done and i say , nope i spent less money then you spent on you exhaust to make my car what it is.

So, you raced 2 stock LT1's... an A4 and M6.
If you beat that M6 by 2 cars, that means you run near a mid 13.

So, 20K for the car.... $700 in mods. Low 13.
I have 1/4 of that into my Z28 including buying it.

I do however find it interesting that those little cars run so good. I don't know nothing about them, but I do know they handle boost pretty good.
LT1's handle heads and cams well too
With my bolt ons, a simple $1200 LE1 package will put my A4 to 350+ RWhp, so lets not go into this anymore than we have too.

very true i ran my bro's car for the hell of it, was not pretty ls1 h/c/i ouch i lost count after 2 or so buslengths. ON a side note yes these cars handle boost very well im running 22.5 pounds to be exact.

I raced one with AEM intake, header/downpipe, and a Borla catback exhaust. I'm an A4 with stock 3.23's, CAI, headers, and an open cutout. From a dig it wasn't even close. By the end of 1st I had at least 1-1.5 lengths on him. After 2nd gear, it was quite a bit more than that. We also went from a 25-100 roll and when I shut down I had probably 3 lengths. So yeah, they're decent from a roll, but suck from a dig. Their supercharger sounds pretty sweet though!

race him from 50 i know it sucks in the auto but it will be a even better race i promise.

trixareforkids28

I'm sure it would be too. They're pretty sweet little cars. I was suprised at how loud the supercharger on that thing is! It sounded like a mini Cobra

is it the cobalt SS or CObalt SS S/C?

the S/C probly could beat you they run low 14s and trap 99-100 mph. anything other than a dig would probly be risky for you being pretty much stock performance wise. no offense but you drive an old LT1 and unless it was very well maintained your probly a 14 second ride yourself and mabe even slower in the 1/4 than the S/C cobalt
