Default 2 races 93 z28 vs integra/cobalt ss sc

I have a 93 z28, k&n intake, flowmaster muffler, hi flo cat, airfoil, tb bypass. First today i raced a 95 integra w/ bolt ons. I tried to race him on the interstate but he just did the ricer flyby, and did 125 or 130 through traffic, so i followed. So i got him to race me. We agreed on a 40 roll, he beeps, but he just took off, but i blew by him, we went one more time and i murdered him, we ran up on traffic, so i slowed down. He ran the intersection nearly hitting several cars and was gone. what a moron. Than i went to the carwash and there was a s/c cobalt ss. I challenged the kid to race me and all his friends told him he would kill me. They told him it wouldnt be much of a race. So i just kept my mouth shut, and he agreed to race me. A win is always so much more fun when your told youre gonna lose. He wouldnt do a dead stop, but insisted on a 20 roll, i obliged and laid about 11/2 to 2 buslengths on him by 80mph. He insisted on a rematch from a 30 roll, he beeped three times very fast and got a huge jump on me, but i passed him and had 2 carlengths at about 55. It was worth it just to see the look on him and his 2 friends faces to see a 140000 lt1, smoke a new s/c cobalt ss.

Unfortunately it sounds like some of the Cobalt guys are the same as the import ricers that don't know **** about cars and think their little 4 banger can kill anything Now some of the Cobalts are in the 13's w/ some mods so they're nothing to take lightly for stock LT1/LS1's but if you're a good driver it shouldn't be a problem. Nice kill...

That kid is moron for racing you at 20 and 30 rolls. Two of the deadest spots for the cobalt. Nice kills nonetheless.

I'm sorry, but I had a 6-speed 1996 Z28 with full-bolt ons and a hypertech and know a little bit about LT1's. A 1993 with just your mods isn't enough to put 2 buslength's on a stock SS/SC by 80mph. A stock SS/SC traps ~98mph+ stock. A kill is a kill, so good job, but you either raced a NON Supercharged SS or somebody who doesn't have a clue how to drive their car.

he is supercharged. I dont know if hes modded or a bad driver, but i put at least 1 1/2 busses on the kid. I saw one run at the track the other day. It bested a 14.9 @92, i dont see 98. Most of the s/c ones i see pull 15s at the high 80s low 90s range. I didnt see me beating him that bad, we didnt even hit 90, but i was sure i would win, and it was bad.

maybe its the ss not the supercharged ss. I have never seen a ss/sc trap that low even when they miss a gear. For reference my buddy has a 95 lt1 full exhaust and a cai and from 40 to 110 i put 2 cars on him.

ls1wannabe, why is every post you make in reference to how fast cobalts are or what your cobalt ss can keep up with.

98mph is definately not the norm anywhere i wouldnt think. that's low 14's/high 13's with traction. My friends 06 sti ran 13.7@97

sry the guy with the question is what i was confused about. Um these cars suck to launch not to mention being on 215's don't help either. If you get a 2.1 on stock tire you are god.
