It launched like running uphill,on gravel.But....once I slipped the clutch right a couple times(1st gear was useless,and most of 2nd)It flew like a ****.
I dont see a cobalt being very different in that department.
Dig race-LS1>skittle,cobalt ss.
>Mod for mod as well.
1320 track-LS1>skittle,cobalt ss.(Got traction?)
Roll race-LS1(Stock m6)>skittle,cobalt ss(Stock)
Modded it gets less favorable for the Fbod.
I have an auto and the same turbo inline-4(quite a few good mods)would hold 1 to 1.5 cars on me from 30,shutting down at 120.Just my take.
From a dig it was me everytime by 2 cars.He would stop my pull and just run dead 2 cars behind the rest of the time.

Of course now I'm beginning to think that is too slow and need to throw a turbo into the mix, or get a C5Z and start all over a again.

Yeah it will get shut down soon. This is apples to oranges. owners of these cars (S-T4s) are very cocky but they really have no excuse being that way...there is no replacement for displacement.

I guess I haven't ran into a ???? that wasn't more than moderately modified because even the ones who claimed they had some mods went down as soon as I shifted into 2nd gear and just kept fallin back from digs, and 30mph rolls. Those were some cocky bastards too so I enjoyed it.

GT30s or 35s can go upwards of 425hp
T3/T04 can also get the job done.400hp+ on pump gas as well.
Ask me how I know......
Down pipes and bigger ICs are cool, but theyre just basic boltons like our fbodies use.

I do relize my car looks the same as other cars that it was made to look exactly like hell thats why I got it. And thats a whole lot better than looking like every other economy car on the road and sounding like every honda on the road.
your car is old and most likely has 100,000 miles so its a little worn from time. My car actually looks like no other car besides a base balt. Trust me i know im faster. you would have to have full bolton's to stay close
