Exactly. Let them talk. We have track numbers to back up our cars, they have made up lies and bullshit. I raced a modded cobolt SS once. He had the jump from a 50 roll, I pulled it back and put a car length and a half on him when i was stock up to around 100mph.

its great how they always pull out the "take it away from a straight line and the v8 car is junk" argument.... The days of the horrible handling muscle cars are gone... the ls1 f-bods handle quite well imho...

Ive seen some stage 2 SS cobalts run mid-low 13's which will be a surprise to most F-Body owners. So i could see one taking out a stock F-Body 98-00 anyways with the 2.73 gear option, or could jsut be tire spin and thats the reason the SS pulled him. There is so much that can happen on the street..
I really like those cobalts and was wanting one at one time for a DD. I say do some meth or alcy injection, smaller pulley, tune, race gas, bigger injectors, and some DR's and those cars will definitely see soe 12's. Which IMO, will take out alot of semi modded F-Bods ( ex. lid, filter, cat back)

I really am flattered that they use our cars as the standard by which they judge true perfomance. they are our own personal little nutt huggers and don't even realize it.LOL

I ran into someone that claimed their Redline does 0 - 60 in 3.2 sec. I asked if he meant 60ft on a track and he got the numbers backward and he said it was all entirely MPH. 
They are suppose to have a good top end but my understanding is the axles are weak, one person on another forum even commented they busted their axle on a test drive.
They are just the new cavaliers and they are a little excited they have a bit more power than they are use to.

On nissan forums 350z owners brag about beating the crap out of ls1's, Ford forums GT owners, Dodge forums Skittles, etc. etc. etc. Who cares. As long as these morons lie and other morons believe them, we'll have plenty of easy fodder out there on the streets.
BTW, My slow *** 98 ate a stock Ion Redline. I'm sure that was expected even for my factory turd though.
